* ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'': Spirit Dragon is a Celestial who, assuming Kitsune is to be believed when he says the same about himself, may only be assuming AFormYouAreComfortableWith and copying human myths of dragons. She can shift between a serpentine and anthropomorphic forms, as well as a few other oddball shapes, alongside many of the same RealityWarper powers other Celestials possess. She's also embroiled in a CosmicChessGame with her brother that's guided the history of Earth for thousands of years now.

** The flower-breather was one of three "Dragons of Annoyia". Another one was a nebbishy sort who didn't appear to breathe anything, but was pretty much the embodiment of everything you can find annoying about another person.

** [[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.

* In ''Webcomic/NineteenSeventySevenTheComic'', Poco is a Bearded Lizard, a perfectly normal real-world animal species kept as a pet by band leader Jeff. But if irritated, Poco breathes fire.
* 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.]]
* In ''Webcomic/AmericanBarbarian'', [[http://www.ambarb.com/?p=306 a dragon asleep in the snow]]
* ''Webcomic/{{Archipelago}}'': There are for kinds of dragons that breathe different sorts of things (summer dragons breath fire, winter dragons - ice and so on), and they're all {{weredragon}}s, [[VoluntaryShapeshifter able to 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 ''Webcomic/GalacticMaximum'', [[http://maximumcomic.com/?strip_id=4 dragon support]].

* ''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}}.

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': Alternia is home to a species of dragons -- Terezi refers them as Dragonyy'yd during role-play sessions, but they're simply referred to as dragons otherwise. 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; another one shows up among the monster population of Jake's island later on. After Terezi went blind, her unhatched dragon was able to teach her how to "see" using taste and smell instead. They're pure white in most depictions, like all other Alternian monsters, but closeups depict them with dark gray scales.

* One of Jenny's [[AlternateSelf alternate selves]] glimpsed in ''Webcomic/JennyAndTheMultiverse'' is a blue dragon with a long, serpentine body, two fan-like wings, and two legs. She's still wearing a scarf and goggles.

* ''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."
* In ''Webcomic/TheSecretReport'' the dragons are VERY different. They look kinda like the western dragons, though [[https://secretreport.the-comic.org/comics/37/#comicimage they are bipedal, live underground]], [[spoiler:Oh and also they [[https://secretreport.the-comic.org/comics/61/#comicimage come from outer space]] and apparently [[https://secretreport.the-comic.org/comics/65/#comicimage can become Kaiju size if they want to]], though usually chose not to]].
* 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.

* ''WebComic/StepMonster'':

* In the now complete ''Webcomic/TheTeaDragonSociety'', the titular tea dragons are lap sized, capable of living for hundreds of years, and they can grow magical tea leaves from their horns and antlers.
** In the companion graphic novel, The Tea Dragon Festival, tea dragons and dragons (which are closer to common depictions in mythology and folklore) share a common ancestor, and dragons are capable of cognitive speech and the ability to assume human like shapes.

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

* In ''Webcomic/{{The Secret Report}}'' the dragons are VERY different. They look kinda like the western dragons, though [[https://secretreport.the-comic.org/comics/37/#comicimage they are bipedal, live underground]], [[spoiler:Oh and also they [[https://secretreport.the-comic.org/comics/61/#comicimage come from outer space]] and apparently [[https://secretreport.the-comic.org/comics/65/#comicimage can become Kaiju size if they want to]], though usually chose not to]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Archipelago}}'': Dragons [[VoluntaryShapeshifter can switch at will]] between human form and a huge winged lizard form. The lizard form does most of the traditional dragon things, like flying.

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': Alternia is home to a species of dragons called 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/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.

* ''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.
