Dragonology is a series of books for children and young adults about dragons, written in a non-fictional style.[1] The series contains information on dragons, including about how to befriend and protect them as well as an alphabet of the dragon language, ancient runes, and replica samples of dragon scales. The series later expanded to include figures, plush toys, models, a strategic board game, a card game, and a video game for the Nintendo DS. Books in the series are credited to fictional authors such as Dr. Ernest Drake, a member of the Secret and Ancient Society of Dragonologists, and the author of the series' first book, Dragonology: The Complete Book of Dragons (2003).
The Dragonology books launched the Ologies book series in 2003. The publishers eventually published books with similar formats and themes on both real and fictional topics such as Egyptology, wizardry, pirates, Greek mythology, monsters, and several others.[2] As of 2024, there are 15 main books in the Ologies series.
In 2012 Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman announced that they intended to produce a film adaptation of the Dragonology books.[3] In 2018 Paramount Pictures announced plans to adapt the Ologies book series into interconnected films under producers Akiva Goldsman and Greg Lessans.
