They have a wide range of abilities, usually elemental in nature, as they have been known to control the weather. Dragons are acknowledged, especially by experienced veterans such as the yōkai taijiya Sango, to be much more powerful than a typical demon. The Inu daiyōkai Sesshōmaru once used a dragon's claw to great effect against his hanyō brother, Inuyasha.

Sesshōmaru made the technique from the yōkai sword Tōkijin called the Sōryūha, later inherited by his elder twin daughter Towa Higurashi by enhancing her own demonic energy from the silver Rainbow Pearl to form an energy blade on a Replica of Kikujūmonji. The very powerful technique from Sō'unga called the Gokuryūha, it's the attack of a dragon from Hell and very destructive than the Tessaiga's Bakuryūha.
