Summary: Draco, or as he's more well known, Ladon, is one of 88 known constellations in the night sky. In Greek Myths he is the one guarding the Garden of the Hesperides, keeping the mythical golden apples away from any trespassers.
Behavior and powers: Not much to say here. The serpent guards the tree day and night until he is found by Herakles during his labors. Or Hercules for you Disney nuts. Herakles shoots Ladon with his poisoned arrows and the snake falls down, dead. Afterwards, the gods placed Ladon's image among the stars as Draco, where he now slithers across the sky and encircles the North Pole.
Known Weaknesses: Like most normal creatures, Ladon was weak to the arrows of Herakles coated with Hydra blood.
