Show Description[]
- The story was set in the New York City borough of Manhattan. Jake Long is a descendant of a long line of shape-shifting dragons, and it is his duty to protect a community of magical creatures secretly living among the masses in New York City. He lived with his parents, Jonathan and Susan, as well as his 7-year-old sister, Haley. His grandfather and sister are also dragons, the dragon powers having skipped his mother's generation. His Caucasian father is unaware of his family actually being part-dragon.
Throughout the series, Jake was taught how to use his innate magical powers by his grandfather and a 600-year-old shar-pei named Fu Dog. Jake needs these powers to protect the other magical creatures of the city from various malevolent beings most notably the villainous Huntsclan led by the Huntsman. His best friends are Trixie and Spud, whom he skateboarded with. He was infatuated with Rose, another schoolmate who, unknown to him, was the Huntsman's apprentice. The stories were driven by Jake's search for balance between his life as a schoolboy and his secret life as a powerful magical guardian.
The series stars Dante Basco, Keone Young, John DiMaggio, Kali Troy, Amy Bruckner, Charlie Finn, Mae Whitman and Jeff Bennett.
