* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'': Dragons are all {{weredragon}}s, who are collectively tasked with [[GuardianEntity mediating and protecting the magical world]]. They're only implied to reproduce in human form, usually with humans because dragons are rare; being a dragon somehow [[RecessiveSuperGenes skips generations]] in Jake's family. Despite this, dragon form is referred to as their true form, which shows it how they catch (silly) diseases and when Jake is hit with a potion that nullifies magical illusions. Dragons are also weak against [[KryptoniteFactor Sphinx hair]].\\
The dragons form vary from nation to nation, mainly by facial differences (length of head, horns, etc). Jake, being a mixed-race character, in dragon form shows markings of both traditional Western and Eastern dragons, whose dominance depends on the season. In Season 1, he had a more Western body type (big and buff) with a longer Eastern type head; in Season 2, he strangely has a more long and skinny Eastern style body, with head and face now little more than his human self with scales.

* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'': Dragons are a special type of human... or are real dragons who can turn into humans... or... you know what, [[MST3KMantra forget it]].
** In universe, the dragons vary from nation to nation, mainly by facial differences (length of head, horns, etc). Jake, being a mixed-race character, in dragon form shows markings of both traditional Western and Eastern dragons, whose dominance depends on the season. In Season 1, he had a more Western body type (big and buff) with a longer Eastern type head; in Season 2, he strangely reverted to a more long and skinny Eastern style body, with head and face now little more than his human self, just dragonized.
** There are also rules of magic that dragons follow, (silly) dragon diseases, and the rule that dragons are the protectors of the magical world. Dragons are also weak against [[KryptoniteFactor Sphinx hair]].

** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyMakeYourMark'': In "The Isle of Scaly", the dragons are quadrupedal, unlike in G4, [[AnthropomorphicShift where they're bipedal.]] They have Cutie Mark-like patterns on their thighs like ponies, and they also specialize in elemental magic, not just fire in G4. Their magic is what makes their scales shimmer, which is lost when [[spoiler:Opaline starts stealing their magic.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/MonkieKid'': The Dragon clan is this (despite looking like humans), as they have the ability to use the energy of a dragon or even become one.

* ''WesternAnimation/DaveTheBarbarian'' has Faffy, a small dragon who looks like a winged pig that breathes lightning. It also has more conventional dragons. Faffy himself is routinely referred to as a "flying potato" and noted to be pretty pathetic by dragon standards.

* ''WesternAnimation/PocketDragonAdventures'': Like the franchise the animated series is adapted on, Pocket Dragons are mischievous but always friendly mouse-sized dragon race that love to live [[HumansAreSpecial in human's homes and help with their chores]]. The series focuses on the main six of these creatures who live with a kindly old wizard.

* ''WesternAnimation/BartokTheMagnificent'': The villainous Ludmilla's unwitting transformation into a fat, pink, three-horned, wingless dragon during her VillainSong ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i6ROv1JKfg&feature=related see here]]) after drinking Bartok's potion, which turns the drinker into whatever they truly are, deep inside. Being EXTREMELY vain and caring about her own beauty and lust for power turned her into a dragon based on her personality. Somewhat related to Maleficent's transformation in ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'', except more comedic and less threatening (she was defeated by a freakin bat for crying out loud! At least it took a bunch of magical fairies and an enchanted sword to bring Maleficent down).

* ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince'': Dragons are powerful, magical creatures and the most powerful inhabitants of the magical land of Xadia. They are divided into distinct races attuned to the different sources of primal magic, and are further split between "regular" dragons and the immense and powerful archdragons, who are the rulers of their kind. Adults are very large, but infants are the size of a small dog, and eggs are easily stuffed in backpacks
