Dracone tries to be scary, but everyone loves him and wants to hug him. Dracone is annoyed with the situation, but he goes along with it.
** Dracone, a character in a comedic UrbanFantasy story, is as delightful as he is {{lazy|Dragon}} - acting [[CatLikeDragons like a gigantic fire-breathing cat]] as people grab his attention with bouncy balls and laser pointers and make funny videos of him playing around in his DragonHoard of shiny oddities.



* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???

* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': ???

to:

* '''Defied''': ???
Dracone enjoys the EvilIsCool aspects of being a dragon too much - so he either acts like a self-interested [[DragonHoard gold hoarder]], or at best an AntiHero [[KarmicThief who steals from the rich to give to himself]].
* '''Discussed''': ???"Dracone, what are you going to do today?" "In the morning, I'll be helping Astrid with blacksmithing, and then giving people rides over the valley! Wheeee!"



* '''Implied''': A big town/small city has a large picture of Dracone among the big portraits of honorary citizens in one of the parks, with numerous good deeds listed alongside it, but the story never has Dracone show up in-person.
* '''Played for Drama''': Dracone is cheerful, compassionate, and all-around delightful. [[DarkFantasy The world around him, however, isn't]], and as one of the protagonists, he faces incredible challenges as he and his like-minded allies try to use their power (and Dracone does have a lot of power to spare) [[AWorldHalfFull to make the world a better place]].
* '''Played for Horror''': Dracone is an extremely cheerful dragon who just wants to make friends - his problem is, in his world the dragons are ''[[DraconicAbomination utterly terrifying]]'' and have an array of [[LovecraftianSuperpower contagious otherworldly powers]], most of the dragons long gone and known only by terrifying legend. [[DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu You do the math]].
