History TheDragon / LiveActionTv

** The Great Leader of Destron in ''Series/KamenRiderV3'' also has four successive Dragons, each with their own army of Kaijin.

** ''Series/KamenRiderGaim'' has Sid taking the role of enforcer among the Yggdrasill Corporation's riders. There's also Yoko Minato, who is the right hand of Ryoma Sengoku. [[spoiler:She later becomes TheDragon to Kaito Kumon at the end after Kaito becomes the final BigBad.]]

** ''Series/KamenRiderGhost'': Alain has Jabel, who was sent in by his father to assist him. His brother Adel also has one in Igor.

* ''Series/SeigiNoSymbolCondorman'': There are [[CoDragons a lot of executives]] in the Monster Clan who could be considered the Dragon to King Monster, so take your pick between Salamander (the one King Monster personally tasks with [[TheHeavy overseeing]] the Monster Clan's plan for the first half), Mad Scienter (his scientist assistant) and Smogton, Gomigon and Hedoranger (his three highest-ranking executives).

* ''Franchise/SuperSentai'': The parent series of ''Franchise/PowerRangers''' parent series generally had one a season. They come in all shapes and sizes, but certain commonalities exist. They tend to be swordsmen, and to have a grudge against one specific Ranger, usually Red. Said Ranger usually destroys The Dragon in single combat during the finale.

*** ''Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers'': Blaze and Roxy to Evox. That said Scrozzle was kinda the Dragon too. He did most of the scheming, was the most loyal of Evox's generals and was referred to as his "right hand man" by the rangers. He's also THE most recurring villain of the show.

*** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E12TheStolenEarth "The Stolen Earth"]]/[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd "Journey's End"]], the Supreme Dalek appears to be the Dragon to Davros. However, it is arguable that Davros is himself the Dragon of the insane Dalek Caan. Similarly, Davros' questionable status in this episode could make him a Dragon for the Supreme Dalek itself.

** ''Series/AvataroSentaiDonbrothers'' has Sonoi, [[ItsPersonalWithTheDragon the most personal enemy of the red ranger]].

* ''Series/BreakingBad'': Mike to Gus.
** Also, Jesse Pinkman is this to [[VillainProtagonist Walter White]].

* ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'': Sebastian Moran was most likely this to Moriarty in Series 1. Most likely if he tries to end Sherlock's life-[[TheLancer John]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes would most likely be PISSED]] since [[LivingEmotionalCrutch Sherlock is John's best (and possibly only) real good friend.]]

** Season 3: Dixie Mafia bagman Wynn Duffy is hired to act as TheDragon to Detroit mobster Robert Quarles, helping him deal with the local criminals--though in a twist, [[AxeCrazy Quarles]] is ''far'' more physically dangerous than Duffy (himself a bloodthirsty psycho).

* ''Series/{{Revenge}}'': Nolan Ross, and later Aiden Mathis, is this to Emily Thorne/Amanda Clarke, if you go by AlternateCharacterInterpretation.
** The Graysons have Frank [[spoiler: until "Amanda"/the real Emily Thorne kills him]].

** As of Season 10, "[[AxeCrazy Mad]]" [[FemmeFatalons Harriet]] of the [[AmazonBrigade Female]] [[DarkActionGirl Furies]] has been shown as TheDragon to [[EvilOldFolks Granny]] [[OrphanageOfFear Goodness]], herself one of [[GodOfEvil Darkseid]]'s CoDragons, alongside [[NightmareFetishist Desaad]] and [[CompellingVoice Gordon Godfrey]].

* ''Series/{{Stranger Things}}'': In the Season 4 finale, the Mind Flayer is revealed to be a construct created by Vecna/Henry Creel/One, who formed it using "Shadow Particles" that he discovered after being exiled to the Upside Down. This makes Vecna the true BigBad and TheManBehindTheMan.
* ''Series/{{Supergirl 2015}}'': [[BigBad Astra's]] Dragon is her husband Non, but after [[spoiler: [[DiscOneFinalBoss her death]]]], he [[DragonAscendant takes command of their forces]], after which he gains his own Dragon in the form of Indigo.

** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E12TheStolenEarth "The Stolen Earth"]]/[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd "Journey's End"]], the Supreme Dalek appears to be the Dragon to Davros. However, it is arguable that Davros is himself the Dragon of the insane Dalek Caan. Similarly, Davros' questionable status in this episode could make him a Dragon for the Supreme Dalek itself.

** ''Series/JuukouBFighter'': Gaohm didn't appear to have a clear second-in-command between his three lieutenants, so the position was more or less collectively shared by [[DarkChick Jera]], [[EvilGenius Schwartz]] and [[TheBrute Gigaro]]. At least until he created [[EvilCounterpart Black Beet]], who quickly became Gaohm's favored minion and main enforcer.

** ''Series/KagakuSentaiDynaman'' had Prince Megiddo, son of the BigBad, who was eventually kicked out for being useless and replaced with DarkActionGirl General Zenobia. [[spoiler:After he come back as the Dark Knight and killed Zenobia(indirectly) and Aton, [[DarkChick Chimera]] filled this role in the finale.]]

** ''Series/MiraiSentaiTimeranger'' has Lila and Gien, apart from their role(as DarkChick and EvilGenius respectively), also serve as CoDragons to Don Dolenero.

*** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS8E2TheMindOfEvil "The Mind of Evil"]]: Convict Harry Mailer assists the Master in his tajkkeover of Stangmoor Prison and leads the other convicts as they help him steal the Thunderbolt Missile.

** Season 2 has Mitch as TheDragon to Hawk, being the most outspoken member of Hawk's gang and the one accompanying him in his antics. Hawk later abandonds Mitch in Season 3 when the latter loses to Kyler and is kicked out of Cobra Kai. Both do eventually align themselves back together as part of the Miyagi-Fangs [[spoiler:at least until Mitch [[{{Irony}} ironically betrays them]].

** ''Series/ChouseishinGransazer'': Belzeus at first has [[AssInAmbassador Brighton]], who acts TheHeavy for Belzeus and is the one working to hunt down the [[ChosenOne Communicator]], though he mostly leaves the dirty work to [[TheBrute Algol]]. After both of them are dealt with, Belzeus sends in his own enforcer Gorgion, who is a much more physical threat than [[NonActionGuy Brighton]]. Belzeus also may have a third [[TheDragon Dragon]] in [[{{Kaiju}} Cabyron]], who literally ''is'' a [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragon]], but he is more of a mindless beast that Belzeus uses to cover his plans.

** ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'': Takeshi Asakura/Kamen Rider Ouja is this to Shiro Kanzaki in an odd way. In exchange for freeing him from jail and giving him the opportunity to fight, Ouja occasionally carries out missions for Kanzaki.

** ''Series/KamenRiderBuild'' introduces [[EnigmaticMinion Blood Stalk]] as being this to Night Rogue, though he isn't very loyal to his supposed boss and is more concerned with his own agenda [[spoiler:and eventually turns out to be [[TheManInFrontOfTheMan the true]] BigBad]]. Later on, [[spoiler:Night Rogue [[DemotedToDragon becomes this]] to [[ArmsDealer Juzaburo Namba]] as Kamen Rider Rogue in order to stay in the power game. Stalk also winds up getting Nariaki Utsumi as a Dragon after the latter undergoes SanitySlippage and defects to his side, [[FakeDefector but it turns out to have been an act]].]]

** ''Series/JikuuSenshiSpielban'': Queen Pandora is the herald of Waller and the one who deviates its orders to its other minions, though she's more a DragonInChief since Waller just sits in a tank full of liquid [[spoiler:and is later revealed to be a [[TheWomanBehindTheMan puppet conjured by Pandora]]]]. Pandora later gains her own Dragon in the form of [[ConquerorFromTheFuture Emperor Guillotine]].

** ''Series/KidouKeijiJiban'': Doctor Giba has his secretaries, Marsha and Karsha.

* ''Series/SeigiNoSymbolCondorman'': There are [[CoDragons a lot of executives]] in the Monster Clan who could be considered the Dragon to King Monster, so take your pick between Salamander (the one King Monster personally tasks with [[TheHeavy overseeing]] the Monster Clan's plan for the first half), Gemsler (his personal secretary) and Smogton, Gomigon and Hedoranger (his three highest-ranking executives).
