The Dragon/Web Original

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • On the Neopets website, Doctor Sloth's Dragon is Commander Garoo, although he hasn't enjoyed much screen time.
  • In Survival of the Fittest, the main Dragon to Danya (although he has a number of prominent henchmen) is Steve Wilson, who was effectively in charge of orchestrating a whole slew of the kidnappings which comprised Version 2 of SOTF. However, the three other members of the so-called "Big Four" -- Jim Greynolds, Melvin Carter and Sonia Nguyen -- could each be considered a dragon in their own right; it's up to interpretation who is the official right hand man.
  • In Protectors of the Plot Continuum, Nendil Morifëa was the Bracket Fungus's Dragon before and during their invasion of HQ, and may have eventually taken over the Black Cats afterwards if things had gone differently; the BF himself could have been said to be The Dragon to the Mysterious Somebody, during the latter's reign as head of the PPC. The head of the League of Mary-Sue Factories has multiple Dragons in the form of their lieutenants, themselves usually the heads of their own Mary Sue Factories. The current Big Bad, the Venomous Tentacula, is a Dragon Ascendant, as he'd been one of the Yarrow's lieutenants and won an Enemy Civil War to replace him. Finally, while it's not made clear, the Mirror Multiverse's version of the Mysterious Somebody seems to have this role for the Sunflower Emperor.
  • Major Shaun Wendelferce from E.H.U.D.: Prelude to Apocalypse starts out being just a side of the protagonist's love triangle, but the later chapters firmly establish him as the dragon, especially in the flash backs. Bonus points for having a Freudian Excuse for being evil.
  • In Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Moist could technically be seen as Dr. Horrible's Dragon since he's the only henchman he has.
  • Gaia Online has Zhivago to Vladimir and Frank/123 to Labtech X.
  • The Slender Man will sometimes use one, such as Albert Conaghan in Seeking Truth. Totheark / the masked man from Marble Hornets may also be an example, but only the creators know what's going on there.
  • In The Gamers Alliance, there have been quite a few right-hand men and women serving various villains.
    • Earlier story arcs:
    • Godslayer era:
      • Endoran, Orestes and Leopold for Glaurung of the Crimson Coalition.
      • Varalia for Xerathas of the Grey Cult.
      • Koschei for the Master of the Totenkopfs.
      • Leraje, and later Ronove for Malphas of the Northern Horde.
      • Nina for Vaetris of the Eastern Horde.
      • Naamah for Pazuzu of the Western Horde.
      • Richelieu for Jemuel of the Magicracy of Alent.
      • Iblis for Adela during the first half of the Vanna arc.
