Species: Actual reincarnated karate dragon (nunchakus seanconnerii)

Drago is an actual dragon. He is literally a winged reptilian monster that breathes fire, and, in a surprisingly Wagnerian development, sometimes poison.

He has this absurd, Dragonheart-esque backstory about being THE LASCHT ONE, and he reincarnated as a luchador that does nunchucks in the sunset. Like many reincarnated karate dragons, his pro wrestling career has been heavily defined by his rivalry/friendship with a time-traveling Aztec spaceman. Also, he has actually shapeshifted into a full-sized dragon. Twice. Offscreen. Because we're not worthy.
