Dragon of the Moon

The Dragon of the Moon is an ancient, malevolent cosmic entity with a particular connection to Moondragon, whom it has long sought to corrupt and possess. It operates as a mystical, demonic force capable of influencing and overwhelming even the most strong-willed heroes.

Few villains make an entrance quite like Dragon of the Moon — this ancient, malevolent entity crashed into Marvel's Bronze Age mythology in The Defenders #138 in 1984, conjured up by the creative team of Peter B. Gillis and Don Perlin. Across a publishing history stretching all the way to 2019, this cosmic-scale threat has haunted some of Marvel's most mystically charged corners, turning up across Doctor Strange titles and The Defenders alongside heavy-hitters like Valkyrie, Moondragon, and Bobby Drake. Eleven catalog appearances may sound modest, but for a creature of this sinister scope, every showing carries weight — and any fan drawn to Marvel's darker, stranger supernatural storytelling will find Dragon of the Moon a genuinely chilling piece of that tapestry.
