The dragon's job is to burn a alien parasite that devours everything, called Thread, from the skies of Pern anytime, the Red Star appears (250 Turn {or Pernese year}, Thread can reach the planet Pern for about 50 Turns).

Gold Dragons, usually have the job of breeding, but are also known to carry their flamethrower holding rider through a threadfall, to burn thread that escaped the grasp of the male and green female dragons.

Dragons are also used for instant transportation, by method of traveling "Between" Space and Time.
