Dragon Zombie

Dragon Zombie (alternate translations include "Dead Dragon" or "Zombie Dragon") is a rather large Biker Gang that has existed in Ikebukuro for the past several years.

History
Dragon Zombie is mostly known for holding various illegal road races around Ikebukuro. It has been implied that they were much more active (and violent) in the past but within recent years, they have decided to stay out of the public eye. They also appear to act as mercenaries as well, often doing jobs for others especially when someone needs some extra muscle (like Izaya).

The gang has no standard uniform but they usually have personalized skeletal dragon designs on their clothing. As far as membership goes, so far no notable members have been mentioned and it is unknown who the actual leader is if there even is one at all. The only person who could be considered a "Leader" would be Izaya since he currently has them on his payroll. While not explicitly stated, it is also safe to assume that they take orders from other members of Izaya's alliance (Mikage, Kine, Namie, etc).

Involvement in the plot
Volume 08: Still partially shaken by Yodogiri's attack, Izaya hires Dragon Zombie as his personal group of bodyguards/henchmen. While they don't accompany him everywhere he goes, he does bring them when he needs to meet with a client face to face.

Volume 09: When Izaya goes to meet Celty about hiring her, he takes several Dragon Zombie members with him as protection. Later, when Izaya is kidnapped as part of his plan to bring "Heaven's Slave" and "Amphisbaena" under his control, several Dragon Zombie members accompany Mikage, Izumii, and Haruna to their hideout. They provide some back up to Mikage as she takes out the "Heaven's Slave" group but Mikage ends up doing most of the work.

Volume 11: A handful of Dragon Zombie members assist Mikage and Kine with rescuing Izaya from a Saika-controlled Sloan but most of them are incapacitated by the more experienced mercenary. However, their efforts provide a suitable opening for Mikage to take the upper hand.
