Category:The Dragon: Difference between revisions

Etymology=

The term "dragon" actually originates from folklore where the hero will often end up fighting an ''actual'' dragon before even fighting the more intelligent but weaker Big Bad and described as such in "The Hero Of A Thousand Faces", a non-fiction comparison of various fantasy heroes written by Joseph Campbell. Hence, dragons (or stand-ins for them) are often portrayed as a Big Bad's second-in-command.

 

For literal dragons and their permutations, see [[Our Dragons Are Different]]. Not to be confused with [[Dragon Lady]], who is more likely to be a Big Bad than the Dragon, or ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]'' magazine. Definitely not to be confused with [[The Savage Dragon]]. The heroic version of this trope is [[Number Two]] or [[The Lancer]], or [[The Hero]] in a [[Big Good]] vs Big Bad scenario.

 

Considering that calling someone a bad person in [[Real Life]] isn't a good idea, not to mention subjective, '''[[No Real Life Examples, Please]].'''
