AION 2 Black Dragon Pet: Special Family Facts and What Is Unknown
✓ Last verified 2026-10-22 · How we check facts
Quick answer
The Black Dragon is a Special-family pet in AION 2. The aion2pets.app record lists no monster source and no Owned Effect values, and video guides disagree on how it is obtained.
This AION 2 black dragon pet page keeps what the aion2pets.app record says apart from what video guides say. The record counts the Black Dragon among the six Special companions it lists, and it is one of the few pets on this site where the sources disagree on how to get it. For that reason this page does not give an acquisition route. Read it in three parts: the record entry, the Special family rules and a checklist for planning around an unclear source. The AION 2 black dragon pet is a Special companion, not a common Fera, Natura or Varian pet, and that difference drives almost every planning decision below.

What the Record Says About the AION 2 Black Dragon Pet
The record is the only third-party source on this pet, and it is used with the site author's permission. Treat its entries as the record's own statements, not as official facts. The official PET page describes pets in general terms and does not describe this pet specifically, so the record entry is the main reference.
| Record field | Entry | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Family | Special | Two or more videos say Special pets give no stats |
| Acquisition category | Chests only | The record names a chest source and nothing more |
| Monster source | None listed | The record gives no monster route to farm |
| Owned Effect and EXP | Not recorded | Do not assume zero, and do not assume a value |
The record does not list a transformation for this pet either. A blank cell in the record means the value is unknown, not that it is zero, so treat every blank in the table above as an open question.
Special Family Rules That Apply to This Pet
Special pets cannot be leveled by kills, according to two or more videos, and the record shows the same pattern: there is no monster source and no recorded EXP for this pet. Pet Insight, which is the pet's own level from 1 to 3, therefore has no recorded steps for the Black Dragon.
The three systems still need to be kept apart. Pet Insight is this pet's own level, and the record has no steps for it. Owned Effects are the permanent stats from owned pets, and the record has no values for this one. Genus Insight is the Special board, which needs rainbow crystals, while turquoise crystals come from duties, according to several videos. One video reports that unlocking the whole Special board takes thousands of rainbow crystals, which is a single-source figure and should be checked in your own client.
| System | Black Dragon status | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Pet Insight | No recorded steps | The aion2pets.app record |
| Owned Effects | Values not recorded | The aion2pets.app record |
| Genus Insight | Special board needs rainbow crystals | Several video guides |
Mount and Transform Reports
Video guides describe the Black Dragon as a mount. Mount appearance gives no buff, because effects come from owning and leveling pets rather than from how the mount looks, according to several videos. One transform guide says the Black Dragon and other Special pets cannot transform. The aion2pets.app record does not list a transformation for it, so one video and one record agree that there is no transform to plan for, and neither shows one.
Comparing the Black Dragon With Other Special Companions
The Special family is the smallest in the record. It has six companions, against 41 to 65 for each of the common families, so a Special pet should be judged against the Special pattern and not against the common Fera or Natura pets. The table below shows what the sources record for the Black Dragon and the other Special names that appear in the material.
| Companion | Family | What the sources record |
|---|---|---|
| Black Dragon | Special | No monster source, no Owned Effect values, no transform |
| Pagati | Special | One pre-launch video ties it to pre-registration |
| Other Special companions | Special | Two or more videos say they cannot be farmed by kills |
Across the family, the videos point to events and other non-kill sources rather than farm routes. Use that pattern as background only for the AION 2 black dragon pet, and confirm any specific route in your own client before you spend time or currency on it.
Planning Checklist When the Source Is Unclear
- Open the pet menu in your client and read the Sources tab for this pet. One global video says it shows a rough area and the nearest teleport, not the exact monster.
- Do not spend kina or crystals on a route that you cannot confirm in your own client.
- Plan the Special Genus Insight board as its own budget, since it needs rainbow crystals and turquoise from duties, and do not mix it with the common boards.
- Check patch notes before you commit. The Korean announcement from June 2026 says Special pets would become shareable across the server. That is Korean information, and global status is not confirmed.
- Decide how much of your crystal and kina budget goes to common-family pets with recorded Owned Effects, since those have values you can plan around.
The official AION 2 PET section gives the general pet rules, and the aion2pets.app Black Dragon record holds the entry this page reads from. For the wider collection, go back to the AION 2 All Pets hub, or compare with the AION 2 Papis Pet and AION 2 Fungie Pet guides, which follow the common progression.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the AION 2 black dragon pet transform?
One video guide says no, and the aion2pets.app record does not list a transformation for it. The record lists Transform as a Level 3 ability for common pets only, so do not plan around a transform for this pet.
Q: How do you get the AION 2 black dragon pet?
This page does not give a route. The record lists the acquisition category as chests only, while video guides connect the pet to other sources, so the sources disagree. Check the pet menu in your own client before you plan.
Q: Does the AION 2 black dragon pet give stats?
The record does not record Owned Effect values for it. Video guides say Special pets give no stats, according to two or more videos, but treat that as guidance for the family and not as a confirmed value for this one pet.
