What species is Maleficent from Disney's Sleeping Beauty?
Throughout the many interpretations of Maleficent through Disney Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent (movie), and ABC Once Upon a Time, it has never been clear what species Maleficent is.
We know that she is a witch because she can do magic and cast a curse, but we also see Maleficent turn into a dragon before her battle against Prince Philip. This led some to assume the dragon form is her real appearance.
But also in Maleficent, it’s established that she is a dark fairy and the animated movie may have hinted towards this as well. But I haven’t seen the movie in three to two years.
What are y’all’s thoughts on this?
