TROGDOR the BURNiNATOR
TROGDOR the BURNiNATOR
Trogdor was a man!
I mean... he was a dragon-man!
Er... maybe he was just a dragon...
But he was still TROGDOR!!! TROGDOR!!!

A stick-figure dragon with one beefy arm drawn by Strong Bad when a fan asked him to show his "skills of an artist", Trogdor is a monster who comes in the night, burninates all the people who live in thatch-roofed cottages, and generally terrorizes the land of Peasantry. Created as a one-off joke, Trogdor proved immensely popular thanks to his rocking metal theme song and soon starred in his own video game, and the legend grew from there. A full-length text-based Adventure Game, Peasant's Quest, introduced the heroic peasant Rather Dashing, who will stop at nothing (sans burnination) to stop Trogdor.
- Affably Evil: He may be a remorseless dragon who wants nothing more than to burn everything in sight, but he's surprisingly cordial towards his would-be killer, Rather Dashing, stating that even though he's indestructible, Rather Dashing came closer than anyone ever did at hurting him. While he still burninates him, he considers it a great honor.
- Ascended Extra: He started out as a drawing with a catchy song in one of Strong Bad's E-Mails, gained a huge following, and is now the star of this board game.
- Breakout Character: He, and this game as a whole, came from a drawing tutorial Strong Bad did at the request of an e-mail fan.
- Creator Backlash: From Strong Bad in "Trogday 08
"."You Internet types ruined Trogdor! Just like you did zombies, pirates, ninjas, and Strong Bad! Er, wait, no. Yeah!" - Half-Human Hybrid: His theme song goes from describing him as being Was Once a Man to this to just being a regular dragon.
- Our Dragons Are Different: For starters, he has sticks for legs, tiny wings, disembodied eyebrows, and one big beefy human arm sticking out the back of his neck. Also, he's built like an Eastern-style dragon, but he breathes fire and terrorizes people like a Western-style one.
- Red Baron: "The BURNiNATOR", "the Wingaling Dragon", etc.
- Retcon: In-Universe; his theme song states that he Was Once a Man, and then that he's a Half-Human Hybrid, and finally decides he's just a regular dragon.
- Sore Loser: When Trogdor is hit without any health he goes on a huge temper tantrum moving and attacking randomly in a last ditch effort to destroy the countryside before leaving in a huff.Strong Bad: Trogdor doesn’t lose, he ragequits!
- Strong as They Need to Be: Trogdor's level of power has ranged heavily over the course of his appearances. In his self-titled game, he's a One-Hit-Point Wonder who can be killed easily by archers and knights. In Peasant's Quest, he's claimed to be "kinda indestructible", and the Trogsword does nothing more than wake him up. He's somewhere in between that in Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People.
- Villain Song: His theme song is about how he burninates the countryside, the peasants, and their thatch-roofed cottages.
- Was Once a Man: According to his theme song. Or maybe he was a dragon-man, or just a dragon.
- Your Size May Vary: Trogdor's been everywhere from "size of a man" to "size of a house" to "about a hundred feet tall."
S is for Sucks
THE S IS FOR SUCKS DRAGON
''I think I need to start over."\\
"This thing doesn't look natural."The failed prototype of Trogdor.
- Uncanny Valley: Scrapped in favor of Trogdor because of this.
- Sea Monster: Seen terrorizing sailors in "Trogday 08".
- Evil Brit: His V-shapes are noted to be "constabulate", and he's just as much of a Villain Protagonist as the rest.
Wormdingler
WORMDINGLER
"You don't need no consummate V's to be my bride."
"Oh, did I just say that out loud?"
"Oh, did I just say that out loud?"
Coach Z's attempt at drawing a dragon.
- Perverse Sexual Lust: From her own out-of-universe creator, Coach Z.
DAGRON
DAGRON
''You just, keep doing your thing, man."*
What looks to be a sentient slab of wood with its name carved into it.
- A Dog Named "Dog": A dragon named Drag— er, Dagron.
- Easter Egg: On the other side of DAGRON is Homsar's dragon, the words "toaster's choice" written on a piece of paper taped to the wood. This wasn't seen in promotional material.
- My Nayme Is: The "r" in "dragon" was shifted to the middle of the name inexplicably. Possibly thanks to being made by Strong Mad.
- Writing Around Trademarks: Homsar's original dragon was the words "TASTER'S CHOICE", but as to avoid trouble with Nescafé, an extra "o" was added.
Chiaroscuro Trogdor
CHIAROSCURO TROGDOR
''I think I've improved on your methods a bit, too. I employed some chiaroscuro shading, and—"
"I'll improve on YOUR methods!!"
"I'll improve on YOUR methods!!"
Once destroyed in the flames of Trogdor's might, this dragon has come back to take his place as the rightful villain of this land.
- Stylistic Suck: Inverted. Chiaroscuro Trogdor is of a higher quality than the others, to highlight the "improved methods" that Strong Sad applied.
- Deliberately Monochrome: Unlike Wormdingler and the real Trogdor, who started out monochrome but later gained color, Chiaroscuro Trogdor kept its signature black-and-white shaded appearance.
