Summary
The Dragon (龍, Ryū), also called Dragon God (龍神, Ryūjin) is, according to Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, the highest god of Gensokyo. All living things, whether human or youkai, worship the dragon god. The dragon lives in sea or sky or rain, and regardless of the Great Hakurei Border, the Dragon can move freely through heaven, hell, netherworld, and the outside world. Its voice divides the sky and causes thunderstorms. When it winds its body it causes mountains to crumble and earthquakes to occur. While destroying at the same time being the creator of Gensokyo, and the rain, the rivers, abundant greens are all due to the dragon's help.

Powers and Abilities:
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Flight, Acausality (Type 4; Exists within the Hakurei Barrier[1], which created a world with a different flow of time[2] and different physical laws[3]. Should be comparable to those who can act normally inside Eientei, which exists outside of time and causality[4][5]), Magic, Extrasensory Perception (Magic users are sensitive to changes in temperament[6]), Reality Warping, Quantum Manipulation (Can easily travel to and destroy Otherworlds, which exists through quantum gaps), Weather Manipulation, Earth Manipulation (Can call thunderstorms with its cry and cause earthquakes just by moving), Large Size (Type 3; Large enough to block out the sky), Non-Physical Interaction (Can harm Phantoms and Evil Spirits with its regular attacks), Incorporeality, Shapeshifting (While most gods take a human shape, the form they take is mostly meaningless[7]), Abstract Existence (Type 1; The true form of a God exists as an idea, and a god can spread and manifest itself in any number of physical bodies, each with equal power[8]), Immortality (Type 1, 4, 8, & 9; relies on his myths, and will be capable of rebirth if he has enough faith. If killed, a god can simply create a new avatar), Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1; He can modify his own concept/name[9]. When gods obtain a name, they gain total manipulation over the concept to which they are linked. The Dragon God is one of the dragons who gave birth to the original elements of the world), Holy & Curse Manipulation (Gods can give both blessings or curses), Resurrection, Probability Manipulation and Fate Manipulation (Unconsciously controls the memory layer of the world, which affects probability and fate)
Resistance to Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1; Do not need one to exist), and Soul Absorption (Survived Tenshi absorbing the souls of all living things across Gensokyo and various Otherworlds such as the Netherworld)
All previous ability to an unfathomable degree, except: Immortality (Type 8 & 9). Invisibility, Abstract Existence (Type 1; Is the embodiment of something conceptless), Nonduality (Type 2; Gods in this state exist without names[10], and were capable of existing in a state of indistinct chaos prior to the existence of names, with names creating all boundaries in existence[11]. Boundaries are effectively the lines between any two things, including those of a conceptual nature such as life and death[12], master and slave[13], space and time[14], truth and falsehood[15], or existence and nonexistence[16]. Without boundaries, everything would simply exist as a singular massive object[17]. Existing in a nameless state renders one without any particular distinctions, not being a part of any one thing, but simply being[18]), Nonexistent Physiology (Nature 2, Aspect 2 & 5; Gods are described as nothingness itself[19], and gods that revert to their nameless state due to lacking faith[20] are said to have[21] been[22] erased from[23] existence[24]. Due to existing independently of boundaries, gods are not bound to the concepts of form & emptiness[25], existence & nonexistence [zero], or even nonexistence & void [imaginary number][26], instead existing in an unknown fourth state devoid of information[27] and incomprehensible to anything in existence[28][29]), Reality Warping, Void Manipulation, Physics Manipulation, Gravity Manipulation, Magic, Soul Manipulation, Mind Manipulation, Empathic Manipulation, Causality Manipulation, Fate Manipulation & Probability Manipulation (Gods created the three layers that compose the world, of which the first is capable of manipulating the physical world and it's laws, the second being capable of manipulating abstract concepts such as sorcery, the spirit, mind and emotions, and the third being capable of manipulating history, causality, and the memory of the world[30]), Creation & Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1; All gods can give "names" to things, giving them a concept of their own, and a defined border.[31] Through this, they were capable of shaping reality from the primordial chaos it was before anything was named and create things from a state in which nothing existed at all), Avatar Creation (When giving a name to themselves, they create an avatar to interact with the physical world)
Attack Potency: At least Low Multiverse level (At least comparable, if not superior to other dragons such as the Tenryu. Rinnosuke described Dragons as the highest gods, having "created the world" and being the origins of most of the elements present in magic, including earth, steel, wood, metal, etc.. In the interview in Symposium of Post Mysticism, it is revealed that the Dragon Palace, which the Dragon God resides in, is in fact, the Lunar Capital, which would make it at least above Yatagarasu) | Universe level+ (Participated in the creation of reality)
Speed: Infinite (Should at least be comparable to high tiers like Reimu) for its physical body, Omnipresent for its true form (Gods exist as ideas all over existence, and can manifest themselves everywhere)

Striking Strength: At least Low Multiverse level | Universe level+
