The Sicilian Dragon is a top-level opening you can play against 1.e4. Instead of a brief explanation of it, I am going in full depth on the Sicilian Dragon Defense. I will include EVERY SINGLE Variation of the Sicilian Defense Dragon Variation opening. This video goes over the Fianchetto Variation. This is a top pick for white in the Dragon Defense and the Fianchetto Variation is a semi-theoretical opening you should know. By playing 9.g3 in the Dragon Sicilian, white is making the position more calm, and thus it is less critical to memorize the moves in the Fianchetto Variation of the Sicilian Dragon.
