Line #40 TheDragon/FanWorks


1	* ''FanFic/SeventyTwoHours'': Joel is the head of the wrestling club who are rampaging throughout the island, torturing and killing anyone getting in their way. Mike V is his trusted lieutenant, and one of the few in the class who can claim to be as sadistic as Joel.
2	* In [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/6449999/AaronCottrell97 AaronCottrell97's]] ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'' fanfiction, [[OriginalCharacter Seymour Murphy]] serves as this to [[WesternAnimation/SodorsLegendOfTheLostTreasure Sailor John]], helping him steal a large shipment of morphine, murdering Emily's first driver and kidnapping Lady Hatt.
3	* ''Fanfic/AngelasPetMonster'': [[SavageWolves Sylvia Schneider]] acts as this to [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Waternoose]].
4	* ''Fanfic/BecomingATrueInvader'': Tak is [[BigBad the Employer's]] primary agent, doing all the field work to enact his plans.
5	* Freddy serves this role to Bookworm in ''Fanfic/ABetterClassOfCriminal''. Where Bookworm can't grant himself powers without losing his magic, he can give them to Freddy, and has.
6	* ''Fanfic/BreakItDownButterfly'': With his health in question and his miraculous missing, Gabriel sends Nathalie out to resume his miraculous hunting with the help of the peacock miraculous, turning her into Paon Bleu.
7	* Destroyah in ''Fanfic/TheBridgeMLP'' plays this role to Xenilla, abet very begrudgingly. She knows she is powerful enough to dethrone him, wishing to do so by the first chapter, but a shred of loyalty over a then unrevealed event keeps her from doing so [[spoiler:at the moment]].
8	* ''Fanfic/TheButcherBird'' has the eponymous main character and VillainProtagonist serve as this to [[MadScientist Captain]] [[DeadlyDoctor Grigori]] [[{{Transhuman}} Vinci]]. For bonus points, his [[{{Archetype}} title]] according to [[EnlightenmentSuperpowers Six]] is ''literally'' Dragon.
9	* ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'' has [[KillerRobot Shadow]], who has complete loyalty to [[MadScientist Thunderstorm.]]
10	* In ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'':
11	** Lucius' CoDragons are the Winter Soldier and [[{{Necromancer}} Gravemoss]]. Gravemoss is far more powerful, but as recent [[AxCrazy displays have shown]], far less subtle and far harder to control. The Soldier, by contrast, is [[TheVoiceless silent]], [[ColdSniper professional, and deadly]]. After Lucius takes over HYDRA, the former becomes more of a weapon to be pointed at enemies, while the latter steadily shifts from dragon to remote controlled mook and [[spoiler:as he gets his mind back, a mole for the good guys]], leading to [[MadScientist Arnim Zola]] and [[SuperSoldier Baron]] [[ConsummateProfessional Zemo]] taking their places.
12	** In the sequel, ''Ghosts of the Past'', Voldemort at least nominally serves as this to Selene, acting as her magical muscle during the ''Bloody Hell'' arc, though it is patently obvious that he has his own agenda.
13	** Additionally, during the ''Forever Red'' arc, Yelena Belova a.k.a. Black Widow II, serves as General Lukin's chief agent and enforcer, and [[spoiler:Maddie]] serves the same role to Essex.
14	* ''Fanfic/TheCouncilEra'': One of the major agents of the VillainProtagonist's private army, an asari known as Adaria, serves as TheDragon for the salarian politician, Tyrin Lieph's. Her primary motivation and reasoning for her loyalty to him is MyMasterRightOrWrong. She serves as a {{Co Dragon\|s}} with the leaders of the other sectors within the Soldiers of Salvation, like batarian Nikhail Baraat and quarian Shedev'Higa.
15	* ''Fanfic/TheCurseOfBlood'' seems to have the [[spoiler:brainwashed Valvatorez]] as this for the mysterious BigBad, Milady.
16	* ''Fanfic/DisgaeaJewelOfTheGods'' has a majin cloaked in armor named Fried. Introduced as the strongest minion of Baal and his right hand man, gathering the ingredients to curse Adell, Mao, and Laharl, putting their levels down to 1 and defeating most of the people in Evil Academy for him.
17	* ''Fanfic/ForTheGloryOfIrk'': Xia comes to essentially serve as this to [[spoiler: [[AIIsACrapshoot the Control Brains]]]], though she [[BigBadWannabe thinks that she's the one in charge]]. She voluntarily works with them as their chief agent in trying to further the aim of war with [[TheFederation the Syndicate]], not caring at all about the context so long as [[ItsAllAboutMe she gets the glory]].
18	* ''Fanfic/FriendshipIsMagicalGirls'': The Royal Drone Eskarrg [[spoiler:([[FromNobodyToNightmare formerly Snails]])]] takes on this role among the Changelings during the Loyalty Arc, leading them in the name of Chrysalis while she's cut off in her dimension.
19	* In ''[[Fanfic/BloomingMoonChronicles Hecate's Orphanage]]'', Melinda the Sky Witch serves as this to [[spoiler:Loki]], often leading most of the attacks against Decretum in [[spoiler:his]] place.
20	* In the ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' story ''Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy'', Satan Girl -Supergirl's Evil Duplicate- is Mordru's right hand and possibly his best asset and mightiest warrior.
21	* ''FanFic/TheImmortalGame'':
22	** [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Nihilus]] and [[BloodKnight General Esteem]] initially share the role, but after Nihilus is defeated, Esteem takes on full Dragon duties.
23	** Nihilus had a Dragon in Wrong (a BrainwashedAndCrazy Rainbow Dash).
24	** [[EvilMatriarch Terra]] also has shades of TheDragon, though she [[OrcusOnHisThrone doesn't do much for most of the story]] [[spoiler: until Esteem is killed, and she steps down into the role fully]].
25	** There's a literal example during the [[FinalBattle Battle of the Everfree]], as the most powerful being in [[BigBad Titan's]] monster army is Exakktus the Black, the most ancient of all dragons. [[spoiler:At least, until Fluttershy talks him into switching sides.]]
26	* ''Fanfic/ImperiumOfVader'': With Vader [[KlingonPromotion taking over as the new Emperor]], Tarkin becomes his right hand due to both his already existent power base and because he's the only one who shares Vader's view of the Empire as an end unto itself, rather than a means to one.
27	* In the ''Manga/DeathNote'' fic ''FanFic/LowLight'' [[spoiler:Matsuda]] becomes this for Light/Kira ([[TookALevelInBadass taking a level in badass]] along the way) as he becomes Kira's mysterious personal bodyguard and gets assigned a dramatic costume of [[BlackKnight menacing black body armor]] that would make [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]] proud.
28	* In ''FanFic/MyLittleMagesTheNightmaresReturn'', of all of Nightmare Moon's servants, the Grand Master of the [[{{Cult}} Shadow Blades]] definitely holds seniority. [[spoiler:He also happens to be Pinkie's father.]]
29	* Discord has several Dragons over the course of the ''FanFic/PonyPOVSeries'':
30	** In the [[BadFuture Epilogue]] timeline, all of the corrupted Mane Six probably qualify, but Twilight Tragedy is the one identified as leader of the group.
31	*** Now that Twilight has [[HeelFaceTurn been redeemed]], it seems Fluttercruel is being set up as TheDragon, in addition to DaddysLittleVillain. [[spoiler:And following her death, it passes to Discord's sister [[BloodKnight Rancor]] (by default of being his only minion left). Though Rancor was already in the running on account of being [[PhysicalGod the strongest of his minions]].]]
32	*** [[spoiler:Then Fluttercruel turns out to be NotQuiteDead and Rancor becomes a SixthRangerTraitor, leaving the role to 'Cruel after all.]]
33	*** [[spoiler:Nightmare Paradox [[CoDragons has five]] -- [[ThePsychoRangers Nightmares Banneret, Granfalloon, Mirror, Manacle, and Whisper]].]]
34	** During "[[{{Prequel}} Origins]]", he eventually forced [[spoiler:his mortal mother]] Shady into the role [[spoiler: until she eventually betrayed him during his FinalBattle with the Princesses]].
35	** At the end of the Mind Games arc, he succeeds in corrupting [[spoiler: Diamond Tiara]] and making her his new Dragon.
36	** In an example not relating to Discord, [[spoiler: Cheerilee]] served as [[WellIntentionedExtremist Princess Gaia's]] Knight while [[MoreThanMindControl under her sway]].
37	** Technically speaking, [[GeneralRipper General Admiral Makarov]] is TheDragon to Father Deer and the Hooviets, as he's not officially their leader. Unofficially, however, he's the acting BigBad due to being both TheHeavy and playing his superiors as his pawns [[spoiler:(Father Deer doesn't even exist until Makarov tries to [[OneWingedAngel become him]])]], making him a DragonInChief and DragonWithAnAgenda.
38	* ''Fanfic/ThePowersOfHarmony'': After [[BigBad Cetus]] comes out of hiding and [[spoiler:[[GrandTheftMe steals Celestia's body]]]], she then [[spoiler:sticks Nightmare Moon's essence [[DemonicPossession in Rarity]]]], rechristens her Eclipse, and forces her to serve as her Dragon. Since Eclipse created Cetus in the first place, she's naturally [[TheStarscream unhappy]] about this.
39	** During the [[GreatOffscreenWar War of the Sun and Moon]], Nightmare Moon's second-in-command and leader of the [[EliteMooks Astral Guard]] was a pony named [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Mephis the Flayer]].
40	* The first arc of ''Fanfic/ThePrivateDiaryOfElizabethQuatermain'' has an unnamed invisible man stalking the protagonist on behalf of the BigBad. The BigBad doesn't really trust anyone, but this guy comes closest. He's supposed to kill her if he can, but all his attempts keep getting thwarted, so he does the next best thing -- lures her to where the BigBad can torment her.
41	* ''FanFic/QueenOfAllOni'': Ikazuki to Tarakudo, as per canon. And when he temporarily takes control of the Shadow Hand, he forcibly [[DemotedToDragon demotes]] Jade to being ''his'' dragon — and the only reason she has a relatively high position is because he looks down on the human members even worse than he does on her.
42	** CoDragons: Left and Right, being Jade's top Shadowkhan, arguably qualify for her Dragons. Hak Foo, being the heavy muscle, could also count (though he's more of TheBrute), as could Jade's foreman (first Valmont, later Blankman).
43	*** Though once [[DarkActionGirl Hebi]] shows up, her status as General grants her the position and demotes the others.
44	** Hiruzen was this to the Oni Elders, apparently serving as chief General and advisor.
45	*** DragonInChief: Tarakudo barely beat him, but [[CurbStompBattle curbstomped]] the Elders.
46	** [[AnthropomorphicPersonification Ambition and Fury]] seem to share the role for [[SuperpoweredEvilSide the Queen]].
47	* Mercury functions as this to Cinder, [[spoiler:who is actually Salem]], in ''Fanfic/RubyAndNora''. [[spoiler:He used to be CoDragons with Emerald, but Cinder killed her for not being ruthless enough.]]
48	* ''[[Fanfic/RedSadie Ruby Stars]]'': Seraphinite is White Diamond's right-hand Gem, acting as her voice and being there in her place when White can't or doesn't want to be. White trusts her enough that she gifted Seraphinite a weapon imbued with her MindControl powers should she ever need them.
49	* In the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' DarkFic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2762511/1/A-Shattered-Prophecy A Shattered Prophecy]]'' Harry is this to [[BigBad Voldemort]], having been raised from birth to be [[HeroKiller the Dark Lord's assassin.]]
50	* ''Fanfic/StreetFighterDestinyDroidLi'': Chun-Li dies shortly after [[DeathByChildBirth giving birth]]. Hearing of her death, Shadaloo steals her body for his own purposes, turning her into a living weapon, a cyborg assassin, under M. Bison's command. She is incredibly powerful and has quite a high kill count, with the main goal behind her to gather data on her former friends so they can be captured and converted into cyborgs as well.
51	* There are a couple of such characters in ''Fanfic/TheTaintedGrimoire'': [[spoiler:Ignatius]] is TheDragon to [[spoiler: Vaticus]], and Ewen is this to Illua.
52	* Abyssgreymon serves as a literal dragon to Alphamon in ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7623289/1/ Transcendence: Digital Curse]]''. However, he is not a willing one, and would probably turn on Alphamon in an instant if he could.
53	* In the ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'' fic ''Fanfic/TurningRedSecretsOfThePanda'', Howard Mitchell is this to Jason Vaugn acting as his top enforcer, and an agent for the PCA. However, as the story goes on, his loyalties start to become conflicted as he slowly learns he fighting for the wrong side.
54	* The ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' DarkFic ''Fanfic/TwilightRevised'' has a BrainwashedAndCrazy Twilight Sparkle becoming this to "Celestia", who is in fact [[spoiler:Nightmare Moon]].
55	* In ''Fanfic/VivaLaVida'', Olive, being the only other member of the Todd Squad, serves as Odd Todd's assistant when her FaceHeelTurn is nearing completion. Likewise, she was the more submissive one of the duo back when Odd Todd worked for Odd Squad, but didn't serve as his right-hand agent because he could get by on his own.
56	* Scorpan in ''[[Fanfic/TheGodEmpressOfPonykind The Warmistress of Equestria]]'' is the Dragon to [[BigBad Tirac]]; currently he acts as TheHeavy, engineering a war against Equestria so Tirac can grow strong enough to break out of the Warp.
57	* In ''[[http://kleinerkiller.deviantart.com/gallery/41037509 Yognapped]]'', [[GodIsEvil Notch]] has the commander of the [[AmazonBrigade Valkyrie Army]], the [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership Valkyrie Commander]]. She's a veteran badass who can stay airborne while swinging a {{BFS}} and wearing a suit of ScaryImpracticalArmor, and her EstablishingCharacterMoment has her [[spoiler:knocking one of the only true gods in existence [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu unconscious]] and proceeding to kidnap him.]]
58	* ''Fanfic/MyHeroAcademiaUnchainedPredator'': Curator is the dragon to All for One, being the man's second in command. He is sent to I-Island alongside the Volcano Thieves to fix Wolfram's clusterfuck of a mess. His arrival elicits an OhCrap from Wolfram's group, and for ''good'' reason.
59	--> '''Narration''': Curator was 2nd in command of the LOV and was just as scary as All for One. If he was here, then it meant they ''really'' screwed up.
