''Fafnir the Dragon'' is a Webcomic about the dragon of myth, Fafnir,and the people who summon him for their own means. How they use him, of course, is entirely up to them. The comic can get rather political at times, so be warned. Available [https://web.archive.org/web/20130301010546/http://fafnirthedragon.com/2011/07/22/american-idolatry-23/ here]
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Survivor]]: [[Jon Stewart]] in the post-apocalyptic future of the first storyline.
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Fafnir has godlike power. The problem is, to use that power effetively requires imagination, which is something that Fafnir is ''seriously'' lacking in. See [[Literal Genie]] below.
* [[A God Am I]]: Edward Catheter after drinking Fafnir's blood. {{spoiler|Of course, that's '''NOT''' how you're supposed to do it...}}
* [[Apocalypse How]]: Caused by Anne Coulter in the first storyline, via a bioweapon bomb up her ass (no, really). Ends up as a class 3.
* [[Apocalyptic Log]]: [[Jon Stewart]] made one to chronicle what happened as the country fell apart thanks to Eek.
* [[Author Appeal]]: The author of the comic freely admits that they are a bit obsessed with men from earlier times.
* [[Barack Obama]]: Is one of the main characters of the first chapter
* [[Body Horror]]: What happens to the victims of "Eek" virus. Also the "freaks" (who are, ironically, classic vampires-just cut from different folklore).
* [[Bond One-Liner]]: [[Jon Stewart]] spouts off a few to the chompers.
* [[Cannon Fodder]]: Edward treats his fans this way, using them to slow down Fafnir.
{{quote|
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: {{spoiler|Vlad Tepes vs the sparklepires}}.
* [[Enemy Mine]]: In a villainous version, {{spoiler|the far right wing of the Republican Party with Al Qaeda.}}
Line 20:
* [[Death World]]: Eek results in Earth [[Everything Trying to Kill You|becoming one of these]].
* [[Engrish]]: Used by the crew of the Japanese whaling boat.
* [[Explosive Stupidity]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130610135411/http://fafnirthedragon.com/2010/04/05/bloodsuckers-21/ The Pineapple Upside-Down Man.]
* [[Fan Disservice]]: Joe Lieberman. {{spoiler|Stephanie Meyers}}.
* [[Giant Spider]]: In the Eek timeline, Cheney has mutated into a being who is what happens when you make a centaur out of one of these.
* [[Glowing Eyelights of
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: Averted. HARD. The comic is rather bloody.
* [[Go Mad From the Isolation]]: Afteer so much time with no one else around to talk to, [[Jon Stewart]] isn't the sanest man around.
* [[Hollywood Acid]]: Rush Limbaugh gets this power.
* [[Immune to Bullets]]: As a magical creature, Fafnir is more or less immune to anything that isn't magical.
* [[Impaled
* [[Jerk Jock]]: Edward "Catheter" comes across alot like this.
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: The Frogzerkers.
Line 38:
* [[Mind Control]]: Intended goal of Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh, via virus. Doesn't work as intended...
* [[More Dakka]]: Used by the Micheal Bay Saguinites...to no effect.
* [[Mugging the Monster]]: [[Averted Trope|Surprising, not used literally.]] [[Played Straight]], however, by the Twilight vampires, who attack a woman who owns a frog farm. Problem? {{spoiler|For one, the farm is also a Medieval Weapons Museum. For another, the frogs are [[Killer Rabbit]] Frogzerkers.}}
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: AVERTED. The only time when someone's real name has not been used was in the Bloodsuckers are Not Sexy Chapter, and even then only for the fictional characters.
* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]: {{spoiler|Vlad Tepes}} curbstomping {{spoiler|the sparklepires}}.
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: In-Universe example. Every dragon is different from each other, although to date none other than Fafnir have made an appearance.
* [[Our Presidents Are Different]]: Obama becomes a bit of a President Action during the first arc.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Played with. The forgoing of vampire tradition to create new vamps makes them into classic vampires...from different folklores.
* [[Our Zombies Are Different]]: They're caused by brain-sucking leeches.
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Used by Ann Coulter to infiltrate Obama's inauguration.
* [[Room Full of Crazy]]: More like Stephanie Meyer's HOUSE full of crazy. Also counts as a [[Stalker Shrine]].
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: {{spoiler|Vlad Tepes}} most definitely counts.
* [[Shout-Out]]: To ''[[
* [[Speed Stripes]]: Appear when one of the vampires is going really fast.
* [[Take That]]: Multiple cases. The biggest one, however, is the entire Bloodsuckers are Not Sexy chapter.
* [[Taken for Granite]]: Happens to {{spoiler|Ann Coulter}} as Fafnir's way of neutralizing the bioweapon-he sends her back to Pompei right as the volcano erupts.
* [[Tastes Like Chicken]]: [[Jon Stewart]] says this of the harpies from the post apocalyptic future.
* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: How {{spoiler|A.R.I.E.L. the terminator mermaid}} [[Kill It
* [[Throw the Pin]]: In the "Bloodsuckers Are Not Sexy" arc, one of the vampires is an expert with grenades... only he wound up throwing the ''pins'' at [[Dracula|Vlad the Impaler]]. It ends exactly how you'd expect.
* [[Time Travel]]: One of Fafnir's powers, and used in the first chapter by [[Barack Obama]] and Jon Stewart.
