The Dragon is a mysterious being that fought the Giant before being shot down by jets in 2003, 46 years (49 years in NieR RepliCant) before the prologue of NieR Gestalt.
Story
Edit
In 2003, a battle began in the center of Tokyo, between the Dragon and a being known as the Giant. After the dragon emerged victorious, it was shot down by jets, falling into the world where magic doesn't belong. A substance that was spawned by the death of The Giant became responsible for a fatal disease known as the the White Chlorination Syndrome. Scientists took samples from The Dragon's body, which would eventually be used to create the weapons known as No. 6 and No. 7 as well as the basis for Project Gestalt.
