Progenitor Dragons (
Lore[]
Ten billion years ago, the deity Originator Genesis Dragon was born from Cray's Idea, bringing a wide variety of life to Cray. The first intelligent lifeforms on Cray were dragons; the dragons that were born first were the six Progenitor Dragons, with countless dragons being born from them later.[1]
Characteristics[]
Each Progenitor Dragon has a cost for Stride that differs from the regular Stride, which is to discard a card with the same name as a card on its player's vanguard circle. In addition, they have abilities that prevent them from being turned face up while in the G zone, as well as allowing the player to Stride any G unit, including another Progenitor Dragon, without paying the cost for Stride while at least one is face up in the G zone.

Trivia[]
- The title naming theme is based off of common elements throughout fiction, similar to the Cray Elementals.
- They are also known as the "Messiah Dragons" (or other similar monikers) throughout the community, and seen as the "good" counterparts to the Zeroth Dragons (although later lore would indicate they predate Messiah by billions of years).
- Like the Zeroth Dragons, the Progenitor Dragons have a crest (in this case on their backs), which resembles that of Harmonics Messiah (hence the nickname "Messiah Dragons"). They also share a Stride cost (requiring the cost to be paid by discarding a card with the same card name as one of your vanguards).
- However, unlike the Zeroth Dragons, "Progenitor Dragon" is simply a card title, and not a race or archetype. Each Progenitor Dragon has a race that coincides with the nation they represent.
- Coincidentally, the Japanese name starts with G, resembling G units, and along with the initial of Ryū, it also resembles the rarity GR.
