Nether dragons vary from being highly friendly to mortal races (see [[Netherwing Dragonflight]]) to downright hostile towards all beings. Many inherited the temper of their sire, the dark [[Dragon Aspect|Aspect]] [[Deathwing]]. Many others, specifically those in the twisted lands of the [[Netherstorm]], have fallen prey to a mysterious corruption. The nether dragons often see themselves as orphans, abandoned on [[Draenor]] as it began to shatter, uncared for and unwanted by their father.

===History===
 
[[Image:Nether Dragon.jpg|thumb|Nether Dragon from World of Warcraft]]
 
Near the end of the Second War, the black dragon Deathwing traveled through the Dark Portal to Draenor. Believing the world to be a relatively safe haven for his offspring, he secreted away a cache of black dragon eggs. Following the war, Ner’zhul recklessly opened multiple portals on Draenor, and the magical stress tore the planet apart. The energies released in this catastrophe altered Deathwing’s eggs, resulting in the nether dragons: partially corporeal and partially ethereal dragons who possess the ability to shift between the astral and physical planes. Without Deathwing’s guidance, these otherworldly nether dragons are just now finding their own way among the blasted ruins of Outland.
 
 
One faction of nether dragons, named the [[Netherwing]], were attacked by the [[Dragonmaw Clan|Dragonmaw]] Orcs of [[Shadowmoon Valley]] and many were enslaved by Zuluhed, including the female [[Karynaku]], mate of [[Neltharaku]], leader of the brood. Their son [[Mordenai]] wanders the [[Netherwing Fields]] seeking adventurers to help free his mother and eventually help the Netherwing escape enslavement.
 
 
Another brood of nether dragons, found at the [[Celestial Ridge]] in Netherstorm, is ruled by the corrupted crazed [[Veraku]]. [[Tyrygosa]] of the [[Blue Dragonflight]], seeks to defeat Veraku and take control of the brood for their own safety, and to study their physiology.
 
 
==Nether dragons (energy)==
 
[[Image:Netherdragon.jpg|thumb|right|Netherdragon from [[Shadows & Light]]]]
 
[[Image:Netherdragon.JPG|thumb|Nether Dragon Warcraft III]]
 
In Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, nether dragons, nether drakes, and nether hatchlings poured out of the [[Dimensional gateway]]s and were implied to have demonic origins and are shown to have been brought to Outland by Magtheridon, having come from another world or the Twisting Nether through his gates ([[Gates of the Abyss]]).
 
 
{{RPG}}
 
TFT's explanation was referenced in the RPG, and expanded upon;
 
:'''Nether dragons''', unrelated to real [[dragons]] and composed of pure nether energy, feast upon magic and minds.{{Cite|S&L|151}} Nether dragons' original environment is the Twisting Nether and those worlds open to it, such as Outland.{{Cite|S&L|150-151, 153, 158}} The spectral form of this creature vaguely resembles a dragon, with ghostly wings, jaws, and talons. Its shape shifts constantly, however, appearing insubstantial and ephemeral. Vibrant colors shoot through its pale body. Nether dragons are composed of nether energy and are only partially corporeal. Nether dragons are highly resistant to magic. Though nether dragons often resemble true dragons, most scholars believe them to be unrelated. Nether dragons are composed of pure nether energy, and as such are beings of chaos.
 
 
:They feed on mana and magic of all kinds and constantly patrol the Twisting Nether and those worlds open to it, such as Outland, for nourishment. Nether dragons are unallied with the Burning Legion or any other faction, and so pose a threat to any they encounter. Though intelligent, nether dragons do not speak. They can communicate telepathically, but rarely choose to do so.
 
 
:A nether dragon uses its greater arcane sight to home in on areas of powerful magic. It usually uses ethereal jaunt to approach invisibly, then unleashes its nether disjunction ability, quickened greater dispel magic, and a flurry of attacks against spellcasters. A nether dragon ignores nonspellcasters unless they inflict significant damage. A nether dragons uses its nether disjunction ability as often as it can, and uses quickened greater dispel magic every round on whichever foe has the most active spell effects. If severely injured, a nether dragon attempts to flee via ethereal jaunt.{{Cite|S&L|158}} They are cousins of [[netherwyrm]]s, although some believe that netherwyrms are full-grown nether dragons.{{Cite|S&L|6-7, 159}}
 
 
In a [[short story]] in [[Shadows & Light]], the protagonists of the tale had eight nether dragons circling around them, and beyond the nether dragons a full-grown netherwyrm. They killed off half the drakes, but the mother was roaring to call more of her children.{{Cite|S&L|6-7}}
 
 
===Age Groups===
 
*[[Nether Hatchling]]
 
*[[Nether Dragon]] (aka Nether Drake){{Cite|S&L|7}}
 
*[[Netherwyrm]] — A netherwyrm is also the "mature dragon" form age group after nether dragon.
 
 
==Nether Dragon (serpent)==
 
{{bc-section}}
 
 
There is a model present in the game named "Netherdragon". It resembles a transparent, brightly colored serpentine dragon. Although the model has been used for Mana Wyrms which has nothing in common with dragons at all, there is concept art of this creature, and you can also see one in a corner of the map of Outland and also in the intro movie of The Burning Crusade.

==Notable Nether Dragonkin==
 
Most nether dragons have names ending in "-aku" or a variation of the word "nether" ([[Netherspite]], [[Nethrandamus]]).
