Top 5 Dragons

[Prince_Azmiran_Myrian]

This is not in any particular order.
Personally, I had an extremely difficult time not adding a bountiful selection, so I decided my favorite media with dragons and put the first ones that come to mind.
1. Toothless and Stormfly from How to Train your Dragon
2. Safyr from The Reincarnation of Alysara. @Comiak
3. Lun'Kat from Beneath the Dragoneye Moons
4. Moonwatcher, Clay, Sunny, Deathstalker, Qibli, Cricket, and Glory from Wings of Fire.
5. Carpy Diem from Reincarnated in a Shonen Manga

I've been interested in the WoF series but have yet to read any of the books. Theres a lot of them apparently.

1. Temeraire from His Majesty's Dragon
2. Gadzooks from The Last Dragon Chronicles
3. Крилан from "Слънце недосегаемо" (yes, am cheating)
4. Amelia from Heartstrikers series
5. Dunkelzahn from Shadowrun (best fictional POTUS imo)
6. Darktooth from Golden Treasure: The Great Green (he's basically inspired from the above example, hence the name)
7. Kalessin from Earthsea Cycle
8. Siveth from Dragonheart 5

Note: these dragons actually aren't rated in any particular order. I've just used a numbered list to mention some cool dergs that I didn't see so far in this thread and to spread awareness about some nice fiction (and fictional worlds). Gotcha!

Also, the ameboid monstrosity from Dean Koontz's novel Phantoms turns at one point into a huge dragon, which I remember being described in a really awesome manner. Too bad they killed it.

Cheers,
Sagacious

PS. I've spotted some interesting dragon mentions, so I'll be checking out the stories related to them.

PPS. Tohru best waifu!

Can't believe I forgot Allmother, Bloom, and Many-Times-Burned from GT:TGG. Can't wait for the sequel to come out.

You come to like Nidhogg and Hraesvelgr when you wipe against them in ultimate.

That’s called Stockholm syndrome

Arokh from Drakan. He was the best.

Damn, how did I forget him! Arokh ftw! <3

(Shame Microsoft cancelled Scalebound... it was the closest thing to Drakan in modern gaming. The Drakengard series notwithstanding.)

Can't believe I forgot Allmother, Bloom, and Many-Times-Burned from GT:TGG. Can't wait for the sequel to come out.

I'm waiting for Hierophant as well. Good thing Dreaming Door managed to (barely) dodge that cursed bullet called "obscurity".
