Cosmic Spacetime dragons, or commonly called Cosmic dragons, are dragons imbued with, transformed by, or created from the tearing, bending or stretching of spacetime. There are many reasons why these dragons may come to be, such as being the leftover remnants or 'seeds' of a previous universe, formed from the collision or proximity of high-mass stars or supermassive black holes, or even imbued with a fragment of the fabric of the universe itself by a higher being.

Cosmic dragons carry an image of the cosmos, the representation of the three (common) dimensions of space, on either their bodies or wings. Often times these images will reflect the part of the cosmos that the dragon was created from, and some may even be 'mirrors' or 'gateways' to that specific part. The shimmering yellows on the parts of the dragon that isn't covered by the cosmic image is a manifestation of the other component of spacetime, which is the time dimension. The Cosmic dragon's tertiaries reflect their connection to spacetime, varying from parts of the dragon being streaked with crystalline gold-coloured time, to the glowing runes signifying their imbuement and magical connection to spacetime.

Gravity- the bending of spacetime- as a force is very weak. Time, on the other hand, is a dimension that no current beings are known to navigate. Cosmic dragons can rely on their connection to the fabric of the universe to a multitude of uses, such as being able to instantly detect the changes and phases of the moon around their planet through the change of its gravitational pull, or even as large as altering trajectories of any object with mass. It is rumoured that some Cosmic dragons are even able to traverse the time dimension, rather than simply affecting its flow through the bending of spacetime.

Gravitational Waves are Cosmic dragons imbued with, transformed by, or created from the rippling, bending and stretching of spacetime caused by collisions of the most massive objects in the universe, such as supermassive black holes, neutron stars and exploding supernovae.

These dragons are seen as a rare and more pure form of Cosmic dragons. The rippling effect on their wings or bodies mark their connection to this cosmic phenomenon, while the golden marks running through their body signifies the fractures of spacetime, the morphing and bending of the time dimension as a result of this ripple. It is rumoured that when two Gravitational Wave dragons are in proximity of each other, they may be able to imitate their namesake, the rippling of spacetime.

Incomplete Cosmic dragons are those that would otherwise fit the criteria for a Cosmic dragon, either as a regular Cosmic or a variation, but the circumstances of their creation did not leave a visible mark on them, rather leaving the entire dragon with an imprint of the cosmos similar to the ones present only on the body or wings of a regular Cosmic dragon. Incomplete dragons typically have less connection to the time dimension of spacetime than a regular Cosmic dragon.
