POPULAR DRAGONS PARAMOUNT TO FOLKLORE, ART AND CULTURE

Added on: 15th Dec 2016

 

ALDUIN

Alduin

Alduin, also known as both the World Eater or the Nordic

god of destruction, is a dragon and the primary antagonist

of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim video game. Alduin is a

reviled force of evil that leaves even the bravest Nord

warrior with quivering knees and pee-soaked undies.

Hoping to trap him within the time stream, the ancients

used an Elder Scroll to rid themselves of Alduin once

and for all and inadvertently sent him into Skyrim’s

future. Now he’s their main problem.

 

 

MALEFICENT

Maleficent

Maleficent, the main antagonist of Walt Disney’s 1959 film

Sleeping Beauty, is one of the very few female dragons one

can meet. She has a human form most of the time, but once

she gets mad she can turn into a ferocious, fire-spitting

dragon that makes her enemies run for their lives.

 

 

THE HUNGARIAN HORNTAIL

The Hungarian Horntail

The Hungarian Horntail is a dragon native to Hungary and is

considered the most dangerous dragon breed. You know him

from the film version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,

where it broke free from its chain and attacked Harry.

The two of them fought in an exciting chase that spanned

all around the castle grounds, almost causing Harry to

fall to his death.

 

 

NIDHOGG

Nidhogg

In Norse mythology, Nidhogg is a dragon who gnaws at a

root of the world tree, Yggdrasil. In historical Viking society,

it was a term for a social stigma implying the loss of

honour and the status of a villain.

 

 

WYVERN

Wyvern

The wyvern is a legendary creature with a dragon’s head and

wings, a reptilian body, two legs and a tail. It is particularly

popular in British literature and is often associated with

cold weather and ice.

 

 

HAKU

Haku

Hayao Miyazaki’s glorious Spirited Away is considered by

many Anime fanatics to be the greatest anime feature of

all time, and it’s due in no small part to the shapeshifting

dragon Haku. Unlike his traditional European counterparts,

Haku is a benevolent water spirit instead of an angry fire

spitter and the most impressive thing is that he can

fly without wings. Cool, huh?

 

 

THE MALE DRAGON

The Male Dragon

The Male Dragon is the main antagonist of Reign of Fire,

starring Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale. He is

huge, highly intelligent and quite powerful. He is also the

only male dragon in the film. We remember him for killing

Quinn’s mother, destroying Van Zan’s army, destroying

the castle and killing Van Zan himself.

 

 

BUB AND BOB

Bub and Bob

There’s no doubt that Bub and Bob are the most famous

video games dragons ever. And yep, some might see

Bubble Bobble as a shameless rip-off of Donkey Kong

but keep in mind that in this epic video game, you are a

dragon, not a plumber and you have to dodge

monsters, not barrels.

 

 

CHARIZARD

Charizard

Charizard is a draconic, bipedal Pokemon and easily the

most valuable Pokemon of them all. Charizard was near

unstoppable in the card game and if you are a Pokemon fan,

then you definitely know that every time he made his

appearance in the deck, there were drama and tears.
