Corrected entry: It was stated that there is one male dragon, which reproduces with all the females. It's strange how there were millions of offspring, and not a single one of them turned out to be a male dragon.

Correction: Very little is known about the dragons' biology, and most of that is theory (observations and experiments are difficult to pull off for obvious reasons). If there is only one male dragon necessary for continuation of the species, it makes little sense to introduce new, younger males that would compete with the old one for food and the harem. Perhaps a new male will only arise when the population requires it, i.e. when the preceding male is dead and the entire population is female, or maybe the lack of a male triggers a female behavior to feed a young dragon royal jelly like ants and bees, turning an unremarkable individual into a queen/king. There are too many unknowns for this to be valid.
