The dragoon (paracetum) is an odd-toed ungulate in the Hyracodontia family. Both known species of the genus are endemic to Capland. 

The dragoon is herbivorous, and lives in the Capland highlands, where it subsists on a diet of pine needles and tree bark. It is amongst the largest known terrestrial animals, with members of the larger highland dragoon weighing in excess of 11 tons.

The dragoon was first described by Amelia ver Leyen during her journeys through the Capland highlands in 1812-1815.
