Protagonists
Antagonists (Dragons)
1. Neceron, Lord of The Dragons: Neceron is the Lord of all Dragons. He is merciless and will do anything in order to defeat the Dinofroz. He only cares about himself. His breed is unknown.
2. General Vlad, the Vampire Dragon: Vlad is one of Neceron's 3 Generals. He appears to be an aged, a veteran warrior,and more skilled than the other generals,Gladius and Kobrax. He is Neceron's most appreciated General, but this won't prevent Neceron from stealing his powers in the last episode. He was once attacked by Gladius and Kobrax, who were jealous of him. They seriously wounded him, but he managed to stay alive. Vlad was also good friends with Treek, another dragon. However, Treek betrayed him and their friendship ended. But still, Vlad freed Treek when Neceron had captured him. He can minimize himself, and by biting his foes neck, he can transform the unlucky victim into a vampire dragon. It is possible that he did not die at the end of the series, as he was not seen buried under the rocks like the other Generals, after the Rockfroz explosion. Vlad is not completely evil. he appears to be very loyal and sensible too.
3. General Gladius, the Gladiator Dragon: Gladius is one of Neceron's Generals. He appears to be the youngest and is not very wise. He blindly obeys his Lord, and even after Neceron stole his powers, he refused to accept that his Lord was wrong. Gladius is very strong but he has difficulties fighting the Dinofroz. He is very jealous of Vlad and along with Kobrax tried to kill Vlad. Gladius would have killed Vlad but two Vendetta Dragons appeared and he did not get the chance. Gladius mainly has fire-based powers. At the end of the series, he is seen to be buried under rocks after the Rockfroz explosion.
4. Kobrax, the Serpent Dragon: Kobrax is one of Neceron's Generals. He seems to be older than Gladius, but a lot younger than Vlad. He is very smart, but he uses his cleverness for evil purposes. He is very sly and he is very jealous of Vlad. He never acts thoughtlessly, and he is always word-fighting with Vlad. Kobrax can spit a paralyzing venom, a deadly venom and fire. He can also tangle the foes with vines and squeeze them. He is a very dangerous dragon, but obeys Neceron quite blindly. He wants to be the greatest of the generals, which made him try to kill Vlad. At the end of the series, he is seen to be buried under rocks after the Rockfroz explosion.
*(Former) General Treek: Treek is the only dragon along with Neceron of unknown breed, although he looks like a Vendetta Dragon. He is the only dragon who knows that the dragons are going to be extinct if Neceron continues to rule, but he is considered a traitor and was imprisoned. At one point, he escaped by tricking Gladius and organised a Revolt of the Dragons. His army was overpowered by Neceron's soldiers. He fights with Vlad, trying to convince him of Neceron's intentions. Vlad doesn't believe him and Treek was forced to hurt him in order to make him listen. When Treek was ready to smash his claws at Vlad, Kobrac appeared and spits him venom on Treek. Then Treek has imprisoned yet again. When Neceron orders Galdius and Kobrax to kill him, Vlad interferes and says he wants to take revenge on Treek, as Treek betrayed him. Despite the anger Vlad had at Treek for betraying him, he frees Treek. Treek leaves and did not appear until the final battle, when he tries to find Vlad and save him. He is the only General who is sure to be alive.
Treek's DNA is found by a professor called Warnell, an old friend of James (Tom's father)
