History OurDragonsAreDifferent / WebComics

** There are [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20121001 red fire-breathing dragon constructs]]. There aren't many of them left, after a war between their bosses and Heterodynes. One challenges Franz to a duel between dragons, [[DragonsVersusKnights and is openly isolated when Franz suggests he's associated with the Knights of Jove]].

** There are [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20121001 red fire breathing dragon constructs]]. There aren't many of them left, after a war between their bosses and Heterodynes.
** The [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20131104 Great Sky Wurm]], originally of the Polar Ice Lords, now battle loot [[spoiler:of Baron Gilgamesh]]. E-frikkin'-normous, but can only fly in the cold.

* In ''Webcomic/YokokasQuest'', Fahrin is a bat-like dragon, Hurricane is an eastern-style dragon, and Betelgeuse is a somewhat dragon-looking manticore. And all of them are people who change into these as their beast forms.

* ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'': [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/6/14/fine-distinctions/ One]] comic involves a calling out ''Literature/{{Dragaera}}'' for its dragons being not-so-different, exotic naming to the contrary.
* ''Webcomic/PlanescapeSurvivalGuide'': [[PunctuationShaker Frd'gl'fn'd'pq'zter]] (he goes by "Fred") is an orange dragon -- not the kind you'd find in an expansion book or 3rd party package, but rather the crossbreed of a male red and a female gold.
* ''Webcomic/PlanesOfEldlor'' features five subspecies: Fire, storm, desert, swamp, and riftwalker dragons. Each has distinctive features and abilities, though all of them share the classic "western dragon" appearance of having four legs and large, batlike wings. The dragons of Eldlor are benevolent and intelligent, but somewhat reclusive - though occasional mischevious pranksters like Sukozu enjoy visiting human villages just to "see the looks on their faces."
* ''Webcomic/SlackWyrm'': Ferragus Slackwyrm is a lazy, uncaring, European red dragon -- er, fire drake. His sister Hildegard Gretchwyrm, while broadly similar, is much more serpentine in appearance, has golden scales and horns and rules over a city whose citizens she forces to worship her. According to Ferragus, only other dragons are allowed to know or use a dragon's first name.
* ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'': Dragons are only animals but are among the few animals that can use magic. They come in several different forms depending on [[ElementalPowers their element]].
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/raizy/art/Fire-Dragon-571482608 Fire Dragons]] which resemble and act like classic european ones except they lack wings and are bipedal.
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/raizy/art/Water-Dragon-565180200 Water Dragons]] which are suprisingly [[GentleGiant playful and good-natured]].
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/raizy/art/Earth-Dragon-558223843 Earth Dragons]] which are rhino-like and are targets of poaching due to their [[GemTissue crystal horns]].
** And finally [[https://www.deviantart.com/raizy/art/Wind-Dragon-554678406 Wind Dragons]] which looked like a FeatheredSerpent with four wings and talons but are now extinct. Instead the much smaller wyverns now take their place.
** Although he hasn't appeared in-comic yet, there is also Rynn the flame dragon who is one of the [[ElementalEmbodiment Twelve Guardians]] (a group of demigods who protect Medius) who can [[{{Shapeshifting}} shapeshift]] into a mortal form and is sapient.

* In ''Webcomic/GalacticMaximum'', [[http://maximumcomic.com/?strip_id=4 dragon support]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Erfworld}}'''s "dwagons" are diffewent, resembling giant stuffed toys. However, in combat they seem to be about as tough and dangerous as traditional Western dragons. They also seem to be non-intelligent, though its hard to tell with any of the basic [[{{Mooks}} troops]]. Basically only warlords get lines.

* Dragons in ''Webcomic/CharbyTheVampirate'' live near humans and enjoy human entertainment and amenities since they can pass as human if they so desire. While they seem to have plenty of half-elf offspring most of the denizens of Kellwood distrust them, with at least one society having hunting down and killing a dragon as a required rite for boys to enter adulthood.

* The former title character of ''Webcomic/DarylAndSusie'' is a dragon. He, and other dragons like him, is bipedal, is about the same size as a human and resembles a crocodile with wings. One trait that Daryl doesn't share with his fellow dragons though, is that he has monsters come out of his head.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Endstone}}'', [[http://endstone.net/2010/04/12/issue-3-webpage-24/ it's the form assumed by a stoner rocking the Dragonstone.]]
* Dragons in ''Webcomic/TheFAN'' are deities. They never appear, but a common depiction of Galion, the Dragon of Light is humanoid.
* The dragons in ''Webcomic/FarToTheNorth'' fit the Western Dragon mold relatively well, breathing fire, flying on bat wings, and seeking to 'collect' one of the protagonist's nieces to keep as a pet. The fact that they've apparently created the [[SuperSoldiers entire goblin race]] from scratch suggests they have abilities we've yet to see though.
** It's later revealed that [[spoiler:the goblins were actually young boys exposed to dragon venom and they eventually become dragons themselves]].

* ''WebComic/GunnerkriggCourt'' has [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=59 Rogat Orjaks]] ("horned giants"), which are [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=559 somewhat human-like]] and somewhat lizard-like [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1098 large fliers]]. They're intelligent, benign, and keep to themselves. It was implied that there ''were'' real dragons, until they were (mostly?) exterminated for showing off a bit too much:
-->''"We like to keep a low profile. Best not to draw attention to ourselves, unlike those [common dragons]. And where are they now, eh?"'' - '''Kos, Orjak'''.
** Common dragons are extinct, but deities like Coyote could bring them if they wanted to.
* ''WebComic/GirlGenius''

** Then there is [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080616 Franz]], the huge monster [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20111226 guarding the treasure]] of Castle Heterodyne, is pretty much a steampunk cyborg dragon.
** Then there are [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20121001 red fire breathing dragon constructs]]. Though not much of them, after a war between their bosses and Heterodynes.

* ''Webcomic/LilCharAndTheGang:'' Charmander is disappointed to discover that despite the Char family being considered "fire dragon" Franchise/{{Pokemon}}, he will not actually be a Dragon-type once he evolves into a Charizard.

* Llewellyn of ''Webcomic/OzyAndMillie'' is essentially a lovably eccentric Englishman -- and a wise, kind-hearted adoptive father -- in dragon form. Oh, and he's also ReallySevenHundredYearsOld.
** "Lovably eccentric" is pretty much dragons' [[PlanetOfHats hat]] in Webcomic/OzyAndMillie. During a family reunion, Ozy won a game by being suitably Zen in his justification for not participating to begin with.
* ''WebComic/SluggyFreelance'' featured a ''flower''-breathing dragon that "terrorized" the Dimension of Pain for a while... until Reakk boinked it.

* ''WebComic/{{Erfworld}}'''s "dwagons" are diffewent, resembling giant stuffed toys. However, in combat they seem to be about as tough and dangerous as traditional Western dragons.
** They also seem to be non-intelligent, though its hard to tell with any of the basic [[{{Mooks}} troops]]. Basically only warlords get lines.
* [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/6/14/fine-distinctions/ This]] ''WebComic/PennyArcade'' comic involves a calling out out on essentially, a book's dragons being not-so-different.
* ''Webcomic/FourGodRanger'': The only dragon seen so far is one of [[TheFourGods the Four Celestial Gods]], Seiryu. He, along with the other four gods, has the form of a bipedial humanoid creature that is a hybrid human/celestial god. He also has healing powers and seems to be the defacto leader of the group.
* ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' posits that dragons evolved from [[http://www.scientificblogging.com/news_releases/kuehneosaurs_just_as_cool_as_archaeopteryx_but_50_million_years_older kuehneosaurs.]] They had an advanced civilization but destroyed it in a war, taking the dinosaurs with them. The survivors became pastoral. When humans evolved and came into conflict with them, the dragons avoided a war with the primitives by leaving Earth for Butane, a planet in the Kuiper Belt. They are part of Princess Voluptua's space empire.
* ''Linburger''. The dragon was long and looked like an eastern dragon. However, it was just a very big beast and devours anybody caught outside like a western dragon. If you kill one, the body will release pheromones that attract hundreds, so the government just leave them alone to chomp on slum residents until it leaves.

* ''Webcomic/TheLawOfPurple'': 'Dragons' are actually higher-dimensional creatures that spend most of their time in another plane of existence.
* Alternia of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has a species of dragons, the Dragonyy'yd. They are all telepathic, but are blind until maturity. As such, they sense through smell. These dragons are highly intelligent, and can even communicate with the outside world before their egg hatches. Terezi and her Ancestor, Redglare had one as her Lusus. This came in handy for the former after she went blind.
* ''Webcomic/{{Footloose}}'': We use them to test our students!
* ''WebComic/ElGoonishShive'' has a [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-04-19 dragon-like summoned creature]] called the Taurcanis Draco which is basically what you'd get if you combined a bulldog, a bat, and a ram while making it reptilian and the size of a small car. It also breathes {{fireballs}}.
* In ''Webcomic/GalacticMaximum'', [[http://maximumcomic.com/?strip_id=4 dragon support]].
* In ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfShanShan'', [[http://shanshan.upperrealms.com/view.php?pageid=005&chapterid=1 a golden dragon in the sky told Shan Shan he would help save the world one day.]]
* Website/DeviantART [[http://iririv.deviantart.com/art/Centocephalic-Dragon-99803821 This rendition]] of a multi-headed dragon by artist IRIRIV. Instead of the typical dragon, the Centocephalic Dragon has an almost sauropod-like body with half its 100 long serpentine heads moving and twirling around the rest of the body to aid in balance and efficiency. Along with its normal set of limbs, it also uses its wings to aid in walking (leaving the artist to wonder why normal dragons do not use this mode of locomotion considering their huge size). Instead of fire, it spits molten metal that not only burns but hits hard.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2007-06-03 fighting a dragon is one thing Slick attempts to win Monique.]]
** There is also the Eastern Dragon who is the embodiment of the East Asian religions.
* PlayedWith in ‘’Webcomic/KeepingThePeace’’. Two of the universes have dragons. Dragons like Stalix are around the size of an elephant at most, can talk, and seem to have average human wisdom. Dragons from Shaun’s world are the size of a building, don’t talk and have such low intelligence that they can be at the beck and call of a summoner. The contrast catches a few people by surprise.
* The ones in ''Webcomic/TalesOfTheQuestor'' are old-school Western dragons. However, instead of hatching, they are spawned from some kind of evil meteor. Surrounding animals such as livestock and, later on, poisonous and venomous creatures accrete onto the meteorite, falling into the crater and melting, until the resulting blob of flesh has enough mass to transmute into a new dragon. Also, dragons are [[AntiMagic lux-proof]], and [[BerserkButton go absolutely berserk]] if another dragon is killed where they can find it.
* ''Webcomic/FairyDust'''s dragons are very similar to regular lizards in appearance and behaviour. Some species are domesticated and are easy to tame, but they otherwise act like normal animals. Their fire breath, large mature size and some species' wings differenciate them from ordinary reptiles.
* ''Webcomic/CorgiQuest'' has faerie dragons, which are small and cute, and [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul make you deliriously happy]] with their BreathWeapon. It's implied that more conventional dragons do exist a la ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', since one of them is said to be guarding a [[MacGuffin magic sword]].
* ''Tales of the Questor'' has "bog dragons", which are ''frogs'' with dragon-ish tails and wings.
* Dragons of the Webcomic/{{Archipelago}} [[VoluntaryShapeshifter switch at will]] between human form and a huge winged lizard form. The lizard form does most of the traditional dragon things, like flying.
* In the world of ''Webcomic/{{Whither}}'', dragons are extinct, except bookworms - tiny, slightly glowy, voice-mimicking pests that nest in paper.
* The dragons of ''Webcomic/DraconiaChronicles'' have BizarreSexualDimorphism; the males look like western dragons and the females look like succubi.

* ''Webcomic/{{Twokinds}}'': Dragons are intelligent psychic immortal beings who communicate with mortals using {{Telepathy}} and use powerful magic, they can also shapeshift into many forms but they (or at least Lady Nora) usually just change into animals due to not being used to walking bipedally. One person claims also to be in the process of transforming into a dragon.
* ''[[http://www.joshuawright.net Slack Wyrm]]'': Ferragus Slackwyrm is a lazy, uncaring, European red dragon -- er, fire drake -- in an uncaring world with among other things an atheist undead knight and a duchess (''not'' a princess) with sociopathic tendencies. His sister Hildegard Gretchwyrm, while broadly similar, is much more serpentine in appearance, has golden scales and horns and rules over a city whose citizens she forces to worship her. According to Ferragus, only other dragons are allowed to know or use a dragon's first name.

* ''Webcomic/SkinDeep'':
** Western dragons are large, powerful mythical creatures who waged a disastrous war with the sphinxes centuries in the past that wiped both species off the face of the Earth — or so most people think, as it seems both are survived by at least one individual.
*** The war was instigated by the sphinxes' initial refusal to give the dragons the enchanted shapeshifting medallions only they knew how to create, causing the dragons -- who were being steadily killed off by human hunting and saw the medallions as their only hope of survival -- to engage in a series of brutal attacks on sphinx workshops and homes to try to take the medallions by force. These hostilities, driven by the fact that both dragons and sphinxes saw each other as evil and cruel, soon escalated into a war that killed off the vast majority of both species.
*** Only two dragons have been seen in the comic proper, but suggest a great deal of physical variability for their kind. One, the only known survivor, is a red-and-yellow creature with the typical six-limbed arrangement, Asian-style barbels on his snout and an erect, panther-like gait. The other, seen in a flashback, has a whitish coloration, only four limbs -- two forelegs and two wings -- a sprawling, lizardlike stance and an elongated, serpentine body, all to an effect reminiscent of medieval depictions of dragons.
*** Several variants of European dragons existed, including [[OurWyvernsAreDifferent wyverns]], lindwurms and tatzlwurms. Like most other variants, they're extinct.
** The serpentine, wingless, maned, whiskered and antlered Asian dragons are still around, and are by and large distinct creatures from the Western kind -- besides being big, intelligent magical reptiles (or part reptiles, in the Asian kind's case) they don't really have much in common with one another. They generally get along quite well with humans who know about their true natures, and use their innate ability to shapeshift to pass beneath human notice.
* ''Webcomic/KillSixBillionDemons'': "The Kind People" vaguely resemble wingless European dragons, but they are insectoid, pathologically unselfish, and were originally created as sapient beasts of burden (they were needed because non-sapient beasts of burden cannot travel the King's Road that connects all worlds). Mammon was the only dragon who knew greed, and it caused him to be shunned. He murdered his entire family and anyone else who stood in his way until he outright owned one-seventh of the multiverse. He is now known as the "Grand Dragon", and is a massive beast the size of a house who spends most of his time obsessively counting his immense hoard, although by now he has long forgotten why it matters to him.

* The main characters of ''{{Webcomic/Meadowhawk}}'' are modern-day dragons, ones who'd rather play [[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} CubeCraft]] than burn villages, and eat tofu stir-fry more often than knights.

* ''[[http://www.joshuawright.net Slack Wyrm]]''. Ferragus (and his ''much'' more different sister Hildegard), a lazy, uncaring, european red dragon -er, fire drake- in an uncaring world with among other things an atheist undead knight and a duchess (NOT a princess) with sociopathic tendences.

* ''Webcomic/TheWaterPhoenixKing'': Dragons are literally incarnations of wealth; they are born when any mass of treasure is left untended for a long time, hence the reason why they always appear in dungeon treasure rooms - they ARE the treasure.

* [[http://www.joshuawright.net Slack Wyrm]]. Ferragus (and his ''much'' more different sister Hildegard), a lazy, uncaring, european red dragon -er, fire drake- in an uncaring world with among other things an atheist undead knight and a duchess (NOT a princess) with sociopathic tendences.

* ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'' has dragons as well, but only one ever shows up. They're more along the lines of western dragons in appearance, as well as colossal in size and capable of powerful magic. Apparently their language and beautiful and lyrical to the ear, but the one we see speaks a very different language so Dominic never gets to hear it himself. Plus, they're very rare, so if ever one has the opportunity to meet one is considered incredibly lucky.
* The former title character of ''Webcomic/DarylAndSusie'' is a dragon. He, and other dragons like him, is bipedal, is about the same size as a human and resembles a crocodile with wings. One trait that Daryl doesn't share with his fellow dragons though, is that he has monsters come out of his head.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Endstone}}'', [[http://endstone.net/2010/04/12/issue-3-webpage-24/ it's the form assumed by a stoner rocking the Dragonstone.]]
* Dragons in ''Webcomic/TheFAN'' are deities. They never appear, but a common depiction of Galion, the Dragon of Light is humanoid.

* In ''Webcomic/AmericanBarbarian'', [[http://www.ambarb.com/?p=306 a dragon asleep in the snow]]

* ''Webcomic/DarkWings'' has the gargantuan Great Dragons, the never-seen-on-panel common dragons, and the small but crafty wyverns. All have approximately human intelligence.

* The dragons of ''Webcomic/DraconiaChronicles'' have BizzarreSexualDimorphism; the males look like western dragons and the females look like succubi.
