Animal Species/Dressrosa Saga

This page lists all animal species encountered in the Dressrosa Saga.

Island Whales
A large group (gam) of Island Whales made an appearance when the Straw Hats floated from Fish-Man Island to the New World. Their movement was enough to create a current which disturbed the "White Strom".

Spotted Sharks


The spotted sharks are a big species of shark which live in the waters of the New World. The sharks are about ten times bigger than a human and their bodies are covered in spots. The sharks make an appearance in Punk Hazard when Luffy, Usopp, Zoro and Robin are being shot at by the centaurs while crossing the lake located in the center of the island and are capsized. Zoro was pulled down by one of the sharks.

It was later revealed that the lake was in fact part of the sea and also the center of battle between Aokiji and Akainu.

Sea Owl


A Sea Owl was seen in the waters between Punk Hazard and Dressrosa.

Dragon
The Straw Hat Pirates encountered two artificial Dragons on the first island they visit in the New World, Punk Hazard. Both of them were part of a series in Vegapunk's research where at least 14 attempts were made. The first one, Dragon Number Thirteen, was slain by Zoro while the second was struck down by Kin'emon and Brook.

Small Size
Vegapunk's Dragon (Small Size) (ベガパンクの - 小型) is the second model of dragon developed. It seems to be really fierce when not sedated, but it is very cowardly against strong opponents and prefers to run from danger.

Abilities
Its fire breath is less powerful compared to the first model but its body is hardier (as stated by Brownbeard). Along with that it also possesses superior agility and flight speed that make it able to easily dodge bullets, and with a joint force powerful enough to bite and chew through steel. It also seems to be able to perceive imminent danger as it immediately flew away from Smiley's toxins and when it noticed Vergo's arrival.

History
It first appears during Caesar Clown's biological weapon demonstration where his subordinates were using it to pull a sled, but it ran away upon seeing Smiley. It was later captured by Sanji and brought in the Research Institute, where the effects of the sedative vanished and it started attacking the G-5 Marines. When Vergo arrived, it flew away and fought with Nami, Usopp, Nico Robin, Brook, and Kin'emon who defeated it.

Dressrosa
The seas surrounding Dressrosa are primarily home to the deadly Fighting Fish species, however on the island itself live mostly simple domestic animals like ordinary dogs, cats and birds. After the Toys were freed from Sugar's power, many of them were revealed to be wild and savage animals that went on a rampage. Most the animals-turned-toys were snakes, gorillas, lions and other vicious animals.

Fighting Bull
A Fighting Bull (闘牛) is a large species of cattle with dark fur, long horns, and a bulky body. It also has small eyes, both with three thick eyelashes on each. The only known fighting bull is the one that participated as a gladiator at the Corrida Colosseum whose fighting style has led him to become known as the "Brutal Bull". He was tamed and befriended by Luffy who gave him the name Ucy.

They may be based on the real-life Spanish Fighting Bull while having a bison-like head hair and fur.

Fighting Lion
A Fighting Lion (闘獅子) is a species of white lion with whiskers, sharp teeth and a gray mane. It has dark shadows around its eyes which has pale yellow scleras and red irises. The only known fighting lion is Agyo who participated as a gladiator at the Corrida Colosseum.

Fighting Fish


Fighting Fish (闘魚) are large black fish notorious for their ferocity. They have the head of a bull with fangs and a crazed look in their red and yellow eyes. These fishes are related to the Giant Goldfish.

They came to the waters between Dressrosa and Green Bit about two centuries ago and made travel impossible, capsizing ships that come close. They travel in large schools in the waters between Dressrosa and Green Bit. While lacking any natural predators, they have been known to be used as a food source by the Dwarves. Reinforcing the bridge between Green Bit and Dressrosa with iron did not make any difference. Since their arrival, nobody who has crossed the bridge has been known to return. The anime shows that despite their ferocity, they are capable of showing fear as the ones around Green Bit are afraid of Donquixote Doflamingo and fled in terror when a school of them attacking the Thousand Sunny saw the Shichibukai approaching the ship.

Their name and ferocity resemble real-life fighting fish. This fish-type is also a species within the fish-man race, as Dellinger is half Fighting Fish fish-man.

Little Fighting Fish


Little Fighting Fish (リトル闘魚) are a smaller, but still rather large, variant of the fighting fish. They are kept in the pool surrounding the ring of the Corrida Colosseum as a disqualification penalty for anyone who falls out of the ring.

Boss Class Fighting Fish


Boss Class Fighting Fish (クラス闘魚) are deadlier than little Fighting Fish, though still a good bit smaller than the wild ones found around Green Bit, and can leap out of the water to reach contestants within the ring. One of each school were brought in for the battle royale between the four block winners and Diamante. Each one has a number tattooed on their left temple; the one with an "01" tattoo carried a chest with the Mera Mera no Mi inside on its back until Sabo took it. They are sensitive to the smell of blood and one with an "06" tattoo charged at some bleeding gladiators on the bridge section, crushing the bridge and knocking them into the pool.

Green Bit
Green Bit, while uninhabited by humans, is home to various wild animals, including:
 * Boars
 * Foxes
 * Birds

Yellow Great Rhinoceros Beetle


Yellow Great Rhinoceros Beetles (山吹オオカブトムシ), called Yellow Cubs in short are large beetles used by the dwarves as mounts to fly from place to place. The Tontatta Kingdom used these to fly from Green Bit to Dressrosa. The ones used by the army have "TT-Air Force" written on their sides. They are used by the Yellow Kabu squad, commanded by Kabu, a dwarf with a Rhinoceros Beetle Zoan Devil Fruit. The mounts have helmets with the letter "K" (for Kabu) followed by a number. They are shown to be very strong fliers, as even though they cannot completely lift a human, a dozen of them working together is able to keep a full grown person temporarily airborne. Using this feature, they provide the Tontatta Airlines Jumping Service for humans.

Pink Hornet


Pink Hornets (桃色スズメバチ) called Pink Bee for short, are large hornets that live on Green Bit, which the dwarves tamed. The dwarves use these as aircraft to fly from place to place. They are used by the Pink Bee squad, commanded by Bian, a dwarf with a Hornet Zoan Devil Fruit. Each hornet wears a black helmet with the letter "B" on it, followed by a number.

Linear Fox


The Linear Foxes (リニアフォックス) are a species of fox which has been domesticated by the dwarves of the Tontatta Kingdom.

They are big enough for average sized humans (Robin and Usopp) to ride on. These foxes have large puffy tails, which are said to be very soft, and beautiful to look at. Their fur is blue on the top of their bodies, and their underbellies are white, along with part of their tail and around their eyes. Each of the foxes sports an orange cap which reads "Express" and has a fox tail on it. They also have a sign on their sides, saying which number fox they are.

Super Penguin


A Super Penguin (超ペンギン) was Kuzan's mode of transportation when he came to Punk Hazard, in particular, the super penguin named Camel. It is said to be good at treading water. Its coloration resembles real-life banded penguins.

Sea Horse


A Sea Horse (海馬) is a giant sea creature with the appearance of a white horse. It only appears in the prequel to One Piece Film: Z, Glorious Island.

It may be a play on real-life seahorses, closer resembling the mythical hippocamp.
