Line 12:
** In it's sequel ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' Frieza has Dodoria and Zarbon.
* In ''[[Berserk]]'' {{spoiler|The God Hand are this to [[God Is Evil|The Idea of Evil]].}}
* In ''[[Jo JoJoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure]]'', [[Big Bad|Dio Brando]] has both [[Undying Loyalty|Vanilla Ice]] and [[Knight Templar|Enrico Pucci]]. The former shows up for a several-chapter fight with the heroes near the end of Part 3, while the latter is the main antagonist of Part 6 and plays a much larger role in the story.
* ''[[Bleach]]'': Shortly after their public defection from the Soul Society, Kaname Tousen and Gin Ichimaru split [[The Dragon]] role for the [[Big Bad]], Sosuke Aizen; but in an interesting variation, those two also happen to fall under [[Dragon with an Agenda]], considering both only ever joined with Aizen so as to further their own individual goals.
** Of the two, Tousen seemed the most loyal to Aizen, willingly and diligently following any of his orders and personally protecting Aizen from anyone else looking to injure him. His motive for joining Aizen was {{spoiler|out of revenge against and loathing for the Soul Society, since it was a [[Karma Houdini]] shinigami that killed his childhood friend and didn't get punished for it.}}
Line 20:
** A clearer example would probably be Kimimaro and Kabuto to Orochimaru.
* During the "Magical World" [[Story Arc]] of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', Dynamis and Tsukuyomi serve directly under the [[Big Bad]] Fate Averruncus and seem roughly close in terms of fighting ability. Technically, Dynamis outranks her since he's the General of their secret society, but Tsukuyomi, being a freelance [[Psycho for Hire]], has a lot more freedom to do whatever she wants, so it more-or-less balances out.
* Baron Ashura, Count Brocken, Viscount Pygman and Archduke Gorgon for Doctor Hell in ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' and its remake/reimaging ''[[Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-hen]]''.
** The Seven generals of the Mykene army for Ankoku Daishogun (who likewise was [[The Dragon]] of the Emperor of Darkness) in ''[[Great Mazinger]]'': JuliCesar, Hadias, Angoras, Ligern, Scarabeth, Draydou and Birdler. Each one had its own personality quirks and fighting styles.
** Lord Gandal and Minister Zurill from ''[[UFO Robo Grendizer]]'' were Big Bad King Vega [[Co-Dragons]].

* ''[[Ponies Make War (Fanfic)|Ponies Make War]]'': General Esteem and Nihilus, who share mutual contempt that borders on outright hostility at times.

== Literature ==
* In ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince|Harry Potter]]'', when Bellatrix Lestrange rises to become [[The Dragon]] to Lord Voldemort, she's unpleasantly surprised to discover that {{spoiler|Severus Snape}} has gained the same standing. The minor rivalry between them continues into ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|Harry Potter]]'' until Voldemort {{spoiler|kills Snape to get the power of the Elder Wand}}. Given that {{spoiler|Snape was a [[Reverse Mole]] but was not the current owner of the wand}}, Voldemort kept the right Dragon, but for the wrong reason.
* From ''[[The Silmarillion]]'', Morgoth had three Dragons- Sauron, Gothmog, and Glaurung- who each had a different area of expertise and largely operated independently.
** In ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', The Witch-king is the Dragon to Sauron, who became a [[Dragon Ascendant]] after the First Age. However, the Mouth of Sauron, who actually administers Sauron's empire, could be said to share the role with the Witch-king, who commands the military forces.
Line 111:
* Though only revealed at the conclusion of a linked game, [[The Legend of Zelda Oracle Games]] feature Veran and Onox as [[Co-Dragons]] for Twinrova.
** ... who are themselves [[Co-Dragons]] for [[Hijacked by Ganon|Ganon]].
* Loghain's two top lieutenants in ''[[Dragon Age]]'' are [[My Master, Right or Wrong|Ser Cauthrien]], his chief enforcer and the leader of his personal bodyguard, and [[Aristocrats Are Evil|Arl]] [[Jerkass|Rendon]] [[Zero-Percent0% Approval Rating|Howe]], an able if ruthless administrator who assumes responsibility for most of the actions that would ordinarily give Loghain bad P.R.
** In a more minor example, the Archdemon attacks Denerim with two powerful Darkspawn Generals.
* While Bowser is the [[Big Bad]] of the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' series games, either Bowser Jr. or Kamek serves as the series' [[The Dragon|Dragon]]. Occasionally, both Bowser Jr. and Kamek can be seen working together, like in "New Super Mario Bros. Wii".
