Dragons are, notoriously, not fond of being ridden. (shut up Gabe) The fact that you have managed to befriend one enough to ride it into battle is a feat of historical importance. You can magically summon a dragon, which draws strength from your bond with nature. The dragon is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. In combat, the dragon acts during your turn. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the dragon to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated, the dragon can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
