Woops, I deleted my sentence where I said I don't think the Dragon is definitely dead. It just seemed strange to me that immediately after a discussion with Tamara about how the potion he gave her contained no elements from this world, and as he begins to transform into an actual dragon, she kills him with a weapon that's definitely of this world. She doesn't even kill him with something that would be impossible to recover from like a bullet to the head, she kills him with a taser. So maybe it just knocked him out for a long time. And we've all seen how non-permanent death is for most of the magical characters on this show, although this would be a first for a revival of a one-episode character, which I realize would be kind of random. I'm not completely convinced that he's still alive, I just think I can see how the writers could bring him back to the present-day part of the show if they wanted.

Regarding August: he said that he met the Dragon and stole his research before Rumple turned his nasal lie detector back on, then Rumple doesn't specifically ask about the Dragon again. So he may have been lying about the Dragon, but we can't be sure at this point.

Or maybe the writers just deliberately made the Dragon all mysterious and interesting with no intention of telling his whole story just to be annoying, which seems just as likely as anything else!
