But he later realizes Drakemon is going crazy and helps the Dinofroz save the world.

He is sneaky and also jealous of Vlad. Kobrax can spit paralyzing venom, deadly venom, and fire. He can also trap enemies with vines.

• General Treek: Treek was once a general for Neceron. He is the only dragon who knows that dragons will disappear if Neceron keeps ruling. Because of this, he is called a traitor and put in prison. He tries to start a dragon revolt but fails. Treek later returns in Season 2 as the main bad guy, calling himself Drakemon. As Drakemon, he wants to save the dragon species from dying out. He becomes very suspicious of a spy in his group. Drakemon is defeated by Tom in the final battle.

• General Artik: Artik is one of Drakemon's generals. He is a white-bearded dragon who looks a bit like a ninja. Artik uses his wings as blades. He is calm and smart but also a strong fighter. He and Petraeus are good friends. Artik is later accused of being a spy and put in prison.
