A Dragon Knight is a knight that assumes the abilities or appearance of a dragon, often combining swordplay with dragon-like abilities, such as [[BreathWeapon fire breath]]. Sometimes a Dragon Knight is a DraconicHumanoid that has taken a knightly mantle, and sometimes a Dragon Knight is simply a knight with draconic motif in his armor and weapons.
They may even be an actual dragon, though they're often [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifted]] into a humanoid form.
In any case, a Dragon Knight character is an easy way to add a touch of awesomeness to your story; [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons dragons are cool]], so it stands to reason that a Dragon Knight would be even more so.
Compare MonsterKnight. A DragonRider and TheDragonslayer (ironically) are almost always examples. They're usually a MagicKnight as well, and are another way OurDragonsAreDifferent.
Not to be confused with ''Literature/TheDragonKnight'' series of books.
