‟I’m a Dragonewt! The king of all reptiles... No, the king of all animals! Brethren of Dragons carrying their royal blood! I am Draco the Dragonewt!” - Draco revealing her true self to Miia.[2]
Draco is a female Dragonewt, a species that is descendant from dragons. She is a minor antagonist that attacks Miia on her "date" in Chapter 19 with Kimihito in a misguided attempt to become friends with her. She was considered a suspect to the threatening letter sent to Kimihito, but was revealed to have no knowledge of such.
Draco is a very androgynous and flat-chested young woman, to the point where people who don't know her think she is actually a bishōnen man. Her appearance resembles a classy-yet-suave man, her blonde hair is often slicked back, and she has blue eyes.
As a Dragonewt, Draco has split pupils, fangs, a large reptilian tail and matching scaly hands. The most noticeable feature are her sizable wings, but she can easily hide them under her clothes when necessary, which often leads others to mistake that she is actually a Lizardman. She has a reverse scale, a place no one should touch.
In her debut, she wore a high-collared shirt with a light coat thrown over. It hid her wings, and her tail is able to fit through specially modified trousers. She has standard dress shoes.
Personality[]
While being presented as a polite, chivalrous, calm, and kind fellow at first, Draco is shown to have a more sadistic, bloodthirsty, egomaniacal, and arrogant side, having strong belief in her Draconic superiority, to the point of being insulted upon being mistaken for a Lizardman. She seems to have a great and unexplained hatred of both humans and men and prefers to be around other reptilian Liminals.[2] She considers men to be savages despite considering herself the "king" of other species and attempting to molest Miia on impulse. Draco is self-righteous to a fault, utterly failing to see or realize that she is constantly in the wrong due to her abrasive and pompous nature.
Despite clocking in a strong-willed and arrogant persona, she gets extremely embarrassed when seen in her undergarments.[2] She is also surprisingly squeamish, as she was distressed by the idea of having to clean fish.[3]
She has shown a lesbian attraction to Miia, and actually went as far as to forcibly undress her. Even after that, she claimed she merely wanted a reptilian friend akin to herself.[2] In fact, Draco seems to be attracted exclusively to reptilian girls, as she instantly tried to hit on Liz as well upon first seeing her, despite Liz being a "mere"Lizardwoman.[4] Consequently, however, Draco's brash decisions and impulsive actions have costed her dearly all the time, as her sexual assault on Miia had left beyond a terrible impression of her, resulting in earning the Lamia's disliking of her. She is blind to her own failings and insecurities, which have caused her to act out of line and attempts to reconcile and her half-heartedness have led her to more ruin and humiliation, resulting in her gaining the worst thing a fool for love could receive - hatred by the objects of their affection.
Draco has been proven to be incredibly slow or uncaring in some cases, as it took her several chapters to realize that Miia was angry with her after Draco's attempt at groping her.
As revealed in Monster Musume: Monster Girls on the Job!, Draco's disdain for men is based on their attraction to women, with Draco viewing them as perverted idiots with no brains. Ironically, Draco herself fits this description, having both attempted to hit on and then molest Miia in their first encounter and making multiple poor decisions through her own arrogance. Despite her great hatred of men and impulsively rash behavior, Draco is capable of withholding her poor behavior in the short term, such as when she volunteered to model at the Inter-Species Cultural Exchange Exposition.
Skills and Traits[]
Physical Traits[]
Dragonewt Physiology:
Cold Blooded: Like Miia, Draco is poikilothermic due to being a reptile. Because of this, whenever the surrounding temperature drops, she will feel the need to hibernate. However, Draco claims that coffee helps alleviate the symptoms.[2]
Dragonewt Skin: Her scales are stronger than steel, able to block cutting weapons and even deflect bullets.[1]
Prehensile Tail: Draco can use her tail to grab things, as seen when she used to hold Miia’s arms in place.[2] It’s size makes it able to support her body weight but makes her unable to sleep on her back. If someone forcefully pulls it, it can come off like a newt’s.[1] It also scrapes across the ground, making it annoying for her to walk for a long time. [5] It is shown that the tip of a dragonewt's tail is an erogenous area, much like a Lamia's, and will cause them to orgasm if under enough sexual stimulation.[3]
Draco's wings.
Wings: While Draco has wings, she cannot fly with them. The reason is due to her having insufficient chest muscles and the wings have a small surface area. She’d be lucky to achieve gliding.[1] As opposed to Harpies, Draco can still glide while wet.[2] The wings do cause a lot of wind resistance, making it exhausting for her to run long distances. [5]
Inhuman Strength: As a Dragonewt, she has greater strength than even a Lamia like Miia, whom Draco was able to overpower with only one hand. This is especially impressive as Lamia have been shown to be already much stronger than humans.[2]
Breasts: In great contrast to many of the other female Liminals in the series, Draco is flat-chested and her bust has no discernable peak, meaning that when fully clothed she is practically indistinguishable from a man. This is also an atypical trait for her species, as unlike Draco, many other Dragonewt women are noted to have larger breasts. Humourously, despite being unhappy with this fact, Draco's only response is to blame other Dragonewts for having oversized breasts.
During a date that Kimihito had with both Miia and Mero, Draco appears after Miia accidentally slithers over her tail, leaving because of Kimihito was paying more attention to Mero participating in an aquatic show. Draco started relaxing her tail with both hands. Bonding over the fact that they were both reptilian Liminals, Miia accompanied her believing Draco to be a male Lizardman. While spending some time with her and eventually going on a boat ride through the lake, Miia eventually learns of Draco’s true intentions. Stating that Miia should leave Kimihito and be with her and to forget men, especially human men. After making some motions that infer to sexual assault, she is stopped by Kimihito ramming a boat into theirs and capsizing both.
On shore, Draco tries to attack them, but is interrupted by Kimihito, who, after a struggle, accidentally rips off her clothes. This not only stops her, but also reveals her true gender. She then runs away in embarrassment and is later caught by Tionishia and Ms. Smith, charged for being outside without her host. Her status and punishment are that she's currently on probation and will suffer a more severe punishment if she does so again.[2]
A while later, Polt decided to continue the punishment by having both Draco and Lilith run a full marathon with her. Afterwards, these two were never caught on their own again.[5]
Suu incapacitates Draco.
Some time later, while doing community service with Polt, she sees Kimihito again and tries to attack him but Suu, with poison from tasting the poisonous plants in her, spews water at Draco, furthermore paralysing her. Suu then proceeds to molest her into submission. After recovering, she continues her community service of catching American Catfish while complaining and being generally squeamish.[3]
She later appeared in Chapter 34 in alongside Lilith, since she was looking for Miia, but a misunderstanding leads to a fight between Draco, Lilith, Liz and Kinu, which Smith quickly ends.
When Kimihito was helping Doppel with her pranks, Draco tries to make advances towards Liz, who angrily intimidates the Dragonewt into leaving her alone as she is currently working. Depressed, Draco walks away and reflects on how ever since the incident at the aquarium with Miia, nothing has gone her way. She then notices Miia is actually sitting at a nearby cafe.
Draco starts to approach Miia but stops when she is startled by a fighting couple, which, unbeknownst to her, are actually Doppel and Kimihito in disguise. The two's act makes Draco realize that Miia might be mad at her for the aquarium incident. Draco tries to figure out how to apologize to Miia when she sees another couple, again Doppel and Kimihito in different disguises, getting flowers. Draco gets a bouquet of flowers and a small teddy-bear and gives them to Miia and apologizes for her past actions.
Draco assaulted by the Orc leader.
Miia does forgive Draco, but then the two are approached by Liz, who tries to thank Draco after the Dragonewt woman giving her beforehand as an apology the same bouquet of flowers and teddy-bear. However, this is unconvenient for Draco and angers Liz and Miia, since it now seems for them as if Draco's apologies and gifts were in Miia's case just an after though or in Liz's case just a trail for the main event.
After the two leave angriy, however, Draco finds herself sexually assaulted by the leader of the Pioneer Orc Renaissance Kinsmen, who escaped custody. Draco is saved when Doppel transforms into Lilith and grabs the Orc's attention, who begins to chase her instead.[6]
Draco later appears at the Inter-Species Cultural Exchange Exposition, where she tries to impresses Miia as a tester for a home heating system. However, much to Draco's dismay, Miia completely ignores her and leaves with Kimihito without even looking at her. As the demonstration begins, the co-worker announces to the audience that Draco should wear a swimsuit to demonstrate the effectiveness of the home heating system, much to Draco's shock.
As the glass of Draco's cabin fogs up, she complains that she never agreed to the part with the swimsuit. But when the co-worker tells her that it was part of the contract, Draco takes another look into it and is dismayed that it's actually in there and that she didn't read the whole contract. Out of necessity and because the co-worker insists that the glass in the cabin will be unfog again in a minute, Draco looks for the swimsuit butwhen she find it, to her dismay it turns out that it's a boy swimsuit because the co-worker (like many others) didn't realize that Draco was a woman. Because of that, Draco suffers even more embarrassment when the cabine glass becomes unfogged and she now stands naked in front of the equally shocked spectators.[7]
Later, Draco tries her luck again with Miia but when she didn't find her at the Kurusu house, she learned from Ms Smith[8] that Miia had gone on a trip back to her home village with Kimihito and the other homestay girls. Draco then follows the group secretly and in an unknown manner.
Draco is assaulted by Miia's friends-
Eventually, Draco reveals herself to the group in Chapter 63, whereby Miia is quite annoyed about her presence. However, after Draco jumps from the wall into the fray, she is completely taken aback and shocked at the sight of the huge orgy between the Lamias and the male human tourists. Before Draco can do anything, however, she is assaulted by Miia's friends, who, enchanted by Draco's attractive appearance, also try to have sex with her, with Draco protesting because of the stormy nature of the three Lamias. They quickly realized that Draco is not a man as they first thought, but in the end they don't really care, despite Draco's protest.[8]
As later revealed in a omake of Volume 15 in a conversation between Miia's friends, both Draco and the human tourists in the end fled from the Lamia village after the orgy became too much for them.
Dragonewts (ドラゴニュート, Doragonyūto), also known as Dragon-kin (ドラゴンメイド, Doragon-meido), are a reptilian demi-human race said to be descended from dragons. Possessing scales and draconian wings, a dragonewt's scales are stronger than steel and as such they can block all cutting weapons and even deflect bullets.
Trivia[]
In her first appearance in Chapter 19, the Seven Seas English translation has Draco's name translated as "Drago". All subsequent appearances has her name translated as "Draco", however.
There is an early foreshadowing that she is actually a woman as she stresses the word ‟men” twice.
Like the other named girls, Draco's name is a pun on her species, with her's being the Latin word for "Dragon". In most media, "draco" is also used in prefix form to denote something of draconid origin.
Although it is explicitly stated in Draco's secret pages that Dragonewts cannot fly despite their wings, strangely enough, Draco can fly in the anime series. It is likely that this was due to the producers, whether unaware or a conscious decision.
Due to this inaccuracy, the M.O.N team also uses an unusually brutal method to capture Draco in Episode 9, by piercing her wings with their guns to hollow her out of the sky. This action cannot be considered as canon, as it would be tantamount to a painful bodily injury, something that the M.O.N squad would simply not be allowed to do even when catching a criminal. In episode 12, Draco's wings are healed, but there is no confirmation that the wings of Dragonewts in the manga series can heal so quickly and completelly, so it cannot be ruled out that piercing Draco's wings could not lead to permanent mutilation.
The fact that Draco has a reverse scale is a reference to the Gekirin. The Gekirin (逆鱗 lit. ‟Reverse Scale”) is the one scale on a mythical dragon that grows in the opposite direction to all the others. It is said that if the scale was touched, the dragon would go into a fury and immediately kill the person responsible; this led to it becoming a metaphor for the emperor’s wrath.
MonMusu Anime Twitter account[9] revealed that her Birthday is March 19th.
In the Late Antiquity "Draco" was the Name of a military standard in Form of a Dragon-like head.
Draco has already tried to befriend with many other reptilian Liminal girls in addition to Miia and Liz.[10]
Draco is the first Liminal girl in the series to be a lesbian followed by Gill and Aya.
Draco is the only lesbian Liminal girl in the series who is not in a real relationship or is not trying to enter into a relationship with a human.
