The Avatar Roku's pet was Fang, his loyal companion who died alongside Roku. Sozin also had a blue dragon.
Dragons are seen in Zuko's dreams as a representation of his inner struggle. which ultimately leads him to teaming up with Azula over his Uncle and Team Avatar.
Zuko, Iroh and Aang had at different points in the series, met Ran and Shaw, the last dragons in existence who learned a new form of firebending.nIroh was the first, and he kept the secret of the Sunfire Warriors for years. To protect the dragons, Iroh proclaimed that he killed the last of the dragons, thus becoming the "Dragon of the West." Aang and Zuko learned from the dragons the new secret of firebending. After the defeat of Ozai, Zuko implemented the Dancing Dragon for new young Firebenders to learn the new and less violent way of firebending.
