![]() Because he’s such a pill, I’m ranking him down here even though the whole circumstance is objectively a very cruel punishment to bring upon a literal child. For some reason, being a dragon teaches him how to be helpful and loyal (which is not the effect it would have on me, I would just scream constantly), and eventually Aslan changes him back. Eustace Scrubb is a whiny, spoiled, greedy boy who finds himself transformed into a dragon because of the selfishness in his heart. Lewis novel has to prominently feature a bratty kid who learns a lesson, and t he Voyage of The Dawn Treader is no exception. Eustace Scrubb, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Talk about being a woman in the workplace!Ĥ7. Cassie is very smart but also struggles with shyness and getting people to listen to her strategies. Another odd-couple/two-headed dragon pair, Zak and Wheezy, are a neurotic brother and flamboyant sister who forget how to work together in like every episode. He’s really working on himself, so that’s great, but we do need a little more consistency in that department. In the words of the theme song, Ord is “not so brave of heart,” and this gets him into trouble sometimes. I might have been too old to watch it, but I didn’t have cable and sometimes it was just on. There wasn’t a kid who watched PBS in the year 2000 who didn’t see an episode or two of Dragon Tails. Ord, Cassie, and Zak and Wheezy, Dragon Tails And creatures which are technically “dinosaurs,” like Yoshi from Super Mario Bros., don’t count either. ![]() I’m sorry… I had to draw the line somewhere. ![]() You know who’s not eligible? Sea monsters. ![]() Also, a person who is able to turn into a dragon is also eligible for this list. They will be evaluated in the same listing, due to sharing the same body. The exception to this is two-headed dragons with a different personality per head. If they are just a group of dragons who basically act the same, they will share a listing. If there are numerous dragons in a specific text, they will be evaluated on their own if they are distinct enough. If an adaptation does the original character any justice or if it does the opposite, it will be noted, but it won’t affect the overall score of that dragon. So, when I mention the Game of Thrones dragons, I’ll be referring to their original appearance in the books. Now, it is often the case with fictional dragons that they eventually wind up adapted, so we’re ranking the ORIGINAL appearances of those dragons. I’m calling this list an assembly of “fictional dragons” to include all these media, not to imply that I left any dragons off this list for being real. Incidentally, “House of the Dragon” is also what you might have called my actual house this past week, since I spent every waking moment studiously immersed in the field of dragon-forward entertainment to bring you this ranked list of the 50 best dragons in movies, TV, and books. And whether or not you are a devotee of the House Targaryen, you have to admit that the series is at least a significant contribution toward the field of dragon-forward entertainment. Dragons are in the news again! The Game of Thrones spin-off/prequel House of the Dragon has officially aired.
