A group of dragons can be called by several collective nouns depending on the context:
- Horde : Used to describe a large group of dragons, often working together toward a common goal.
- Flight : Refers to dragons flying together in the sky.
- Den : A group of dragons living together in a shared lair.
- Wing : Another term for a group of adult dragons, sometimes including their riders.
- Brood : A family group of dragons, typically young dragons and their parent(s).
- Weyr (from Anne McCaffrey's Pern series): A community of dragons, their riders, and support staff living together.
- Thunder : A dramatic term invented by author Christopher Paolini to describe a powerful and loud group of dragons.
- Weir : A gathering of dragons near their lair or a body of water.
Among these, "flight of dragons" and "horde of dragons" are the most commonly used in fantasy contexts, with "flight" emphasizing dragons in the air and "horde" emphasizing a large group on the ground or working together
. In summary, the choice of term depends on the dragons' activity or setting, but "flight" and "horde" are the primary collective nouns for groups of dragons.
