The Dragon's Eye is a magical scepter that was once owned and wielded by the evil fairy Maleficent. It possesses great magical power that she used for her evil purposes. In Descendants 3, Audrey steals the scepter and uses it for evil purposes after she is consumed by anger and hatred towards Mal for stealing Ben from her.
The Dragon's Eye has been returned to the Museum of Cultural History, alongside Mal's Spellbook and Evie's Magic Mirror.
Sleeping Beauty: A length of twisted birchwood encased in gold and surmounted by an engraved lotus bearing a glowing crystal orb.
Descendants: A long wooden staff on the Isle of the Lost, with a faded green stone on the top. When the magical barrier is lifted, or when the staff is used, the stone glows green and sparks.
Maleficent uses it to perform her evil magic as she put a curse on Aurora, saying that before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, she would prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die (though Merryweather softened the curse so instead of dying she would fall into a deep sleep that will only last until true love's kiss).
When the Three Good Fairies and Prince Phillip escape from Maleficent's castle, she uses the staff to summon lightning bolts and spells aimed at Phillip in order to hinder him, including a "forest of thorns". Since Prince Phillip is able to overcome the mystical thorns, she uses with her scepter "all the powers of Hell" and transforms into a huge dark dragon.
Mal and her "friends" go on a quest to find the scepter and to give Mal a chance to prove herself to her mother, the Wicked Fairy, Mistress of All Evil, Queen of Darkness, and The Most Evilest Villain in the Whole World, Maleficent.
The scepter was awake when Carlos' machine punched a hole in the dome letting the magic enter in the Isle, so awakening Diablo (Maleficent's raven - the one and only friend of the Wicked Fairy), the Cave of Wonders and a Magic Mirror Hall similar to those of Evil Queen had one day. The scepter was located in Forbidden Fortress, the evil fortress and former home of Maleficent that was sent to the Isle of Doomed (a little islet in the bay of Isle of the Lost) because it was so powerful to keep in Auradon together with the Cave of Wonders and the other powerful magic things used by the villains one day.
The staff is present in the movie Descendants. Maleficent uses it to turn into a dragon. Mal gets a chance to hold it for a short second. There is also a replica of the staff in the hands of a mannequin of Maleficent in The Museum of Cultural History.
When Audrey decided to become evil and went to the museum to steal The Queen's Crown, the staff senses Audrey's growing darkness and calls her name. Feeling drawn to its calling and knowing how powerful it is, a corrupted Audrey decides to steal it as well. She uses it to its full extent for a number of things; Turning people to stone, sending people to sleep, transforming Mal into an old hag. Eventually, Mal takes the staff away from Audrey, changing Audrey back to her old self but with all the memories of the evil acts she committed. Mal mentions that the only thing stronger than the scepter is Hades' Ember.
Despite the character of Maleficent being based on the animated counterpart from Sleeping Beauty, the staff is closer in design to the one seen in the 2014 live-action film Maleficent.
