Do dragons constantly create magicules, or do they just absorb them from the
atmosphere? If they do, why do they release them from their body, or is it
that they can not stop it?

Dragons and Magicules


**(Spoilers ahead from the light novel published recently)**

All monsters in the realm exude energy from their body. All monsters are
created based on the density of magicules. This was why the Jura Forest had a
high density of monsters due to the release of Veldora's magicules over the
centuries. The only difference between a dragon's release and a normal slime's
release is the amount of magicules that is produced.

From Volume 7 of the light novel,

In the light novel published, there are multiple instances where this is
mentioned

Their aura that they release is the release of magicules and the stronger the
being, the more magicules they release.

In a later part of the novel, Rimuru also talks about the magicule density
near Tempest being high to the point where it could start to discomfort other
merchants who came for business, which leads to their breakthroughs in
magicule research and development.

From Volume 7 of the light novel,

> [..] unnaturally full of magicules. We were all projecting pretty heavy

The magicules are like oxygen to the monsters, it helps them survive, yet just
like oxygen a very large amount or very little can cause damage to their
metabolic rates.

All in all, just like we breathe oxygen in and release some oxygen while
exhaling, the monsters _breathe_ magicules.
