- "Nevertheless, as they climbed higher and higher, London unfurling below them like a gray-and-green map, Harry's overwhelming feeling was of gratitude for an escape that had seemed impossible. Crouching low over the beast's neck, he clung tight to the metallic scales, and the cool breeze was soothing on his burned and blistered skin, the dragon's wings beating the air like the sails of a windmill."
- — Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger escape on the dragon.[src]
This Ukrainian Ironbelly dragon guarded several high-security vaults, including the Lestrange Vault, at Gringotts Wizarding Bank. It was encountered by Harry Potter and his friends when they infiltrated the bank in 1998, although it is likely the dragon had been guarding the vaults for a long time prior to this.
The Gringotts dragon escaping.
The dragon was aged and half-blind by the spring of 1998. In order to access the vault, clankers were used to drive it away, as it had been trained to fear the sound for it expected pain when it heard it. After the goblin Griphook abandoned them, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger jumped onto the back of this dragon and quickly escaped. They finally jumped off into a lake as the dragon lowered it's flying height nearer to the water's surface. Although Hermione expressed concern for leaving the dragon in the wild, Ron was confident it would be able to defend for itself without difficulty..
