The Dragon / Fan Works
aka: Fanfic

Go To

  • 72 Hours: 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.
  • In AaronCottrell97's Thomas & Friends fanfiction, Seymour Murphy serves as this to Sailor John, helping him steal a large shipment of morphine, murdering Emily's first driver and kidnapping Lady Hatt.
  • Angela's Pet Monster: Sylvia Schneider acts as this to Waternoose.
  • Becoming a True Invader: Tak is the Employer's primary agent, doing all the field work to enact his plans.
  • Freddy serves this role to Bookworm in A Better Class of Criminal. Where Bookworm can't grant himself powers without losing his magic, he can give them to Freddy, and has.
  • Break it down, Butterfly: 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.
  • Destroyah in The Bridge (MLP) 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 at the moment.
  • The Butcher Bird has the eponymous main character and Villain Protagonist serve as this to Captain Grigori Vinci. For bonus points, his title according to Six is literally Dragon.
  • Calvin & Hobbes: The Series has Shadow, who has complete loyalty to Thunderstorm.
  • In Child of the Storm:
    • Lucius' Co-Dragons are the Winter Soldier and Gravemoss. Gravemoss is far more powerful, but as recent displays have shown, far less subtle and far harder to control. The Soldier, by contrast, is silent, 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 as he gets his mind back, a mole for the good guys, leading to Arnim Zola and Baron Zemo taking their places.
    • 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.
    • Additionally, during the Forever Red arc, Yelena Belova a.k.a. Black Widow II, serves as General Lukin's chief agent and enforcer, and Maddie serves the same role to Essex.
  • The Council Era: One of the major agents of the Villain Protagonist's private army, an asari known as Adaria, serves as The Dragon for the salarian politician, Tyrin Lieph's. Her primary motivation and reasoning for her loyalty to him is My Master, Right or Wrong. She serves as a Co Dragon with the leaders of the other sectors within the Soldiers of Salvation, like batarian Nikhail Baraat and quarian Shedev'Higa.
  • The Curse Of Blood seems to have the brainwashed Valvatorez as this for the mysterious Big Bad, Milady.
  • Disgaea Jewel Of The Gods 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.
  • For the Glory of Irk: Xia comes to essentially serve as this to the Control Brains, though she 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 the Syndicate, not caring at all about the context so long as she gets the glory.
  • Friendship Is Magical Girls: The Royal Drone Eskarrg (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.
  • In Hecate's Orphanage, Melinda the Sky Witch serves as this to Loki, often leading most of the attacks against Decretum in his place.
  • In the Supergirl story Hellsister Trilogy, Satan Girl -Supergirl's Evil Duplicate- is Mordru's right hand and possibly his best asset and mightiest warrior.
  • The Immortal Game:
  • Imperium of Vader: With Vader 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.
  • In the Death Note fic Low Light Matsuda becomes this for Light/Kira (taking a level in badass along the way) as he becomes Kira's mysterious personal bodyguard and gets assigned a dramatic costume of menacing black body armor that would make Darth Vader proud.
  • In My Little Mages: The Nightmare's Return, of all of Nightmare Moon's servants, the Grand Master of the Shadow Blades definitely holds seniority. He also happens to be Pinkie's father.
  • Discord has several Dragons over the course of the Pony POV Series:
  • The Powers of Harmony: After Cetus comes out of hiding and steals Celestia's body, she then sticks Nightmare Moon's essence in Rarity, rechristens her Eclipse, and forces her to serve as her Dragon. Since Eclipse created Cetus in the first place, she's naturally unhappy about this.
  • The first arc of The Private Diary of Elizabeth Quatermain has an unnamed invisible man stalking the protagonist on behalf of the Big Bad. The Big Bad 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 Big Bad can torment her.
  • Queen of All Oni: Ikazuki to Tarakudo, as per canon. And when he temporarily takes control of the Shadow Hand, he forcibly 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.
    • Co-Dragons: 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 The Brute), as could Jade's foreman (first Valmont, later Blankman).
      • Though once Hebi shows up, her status as General grants her the position and demotes the others.
    • Hiruzen was this to the Oni Elders, apparently serving as chief General and advisor.
    • Ambition and Fury seem to share the role for the Queen.
  • Mercury functions as this to Cinder, who is actually Salem, in Ruby and Nora. He used to be Co-Dragons with Emerald, but Cinder killed her for not being ruthless enough.
  • 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 Mind Control powers should she ever need them.
  • In the Harry Potter Dark Fic A Shattered Prophecy Harry is this to Voldemort, having been raised from birth to be the Dark Lord's assassin.
  • Street Fighter Destiny Droid Li: Chun-Li dies shortly after 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.
  • There are a couple of such characters in The Tainted Grimoire: Ignatius is The Dragon to Vaticus, and Ewen is this to Illua.
  • Abyssgreymon serves as a literal dragon to Alphamon in Transcendence: Digital Curse. However, he is not a willing one, and would probably turn on Alphamon in an instant if he could.
  • In the Turning Red fic Turning Red: Secrets of the Panda, 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.
  • The My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Dark Fic Twilight Revised has a Brainwashed and Crazy Twilight Sparkle becoming this to "Celestia", who is in fact Nightmare Moon.
  • In Viva La Vida, Olive, being the only other member of the Todd Squad, serves as Odd Todd's assistant when her Face–Heel Turn 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.
  • Scorpan in The Warmistress of Equestria is the Dragon to Tirac; currently he acts as The Heavy, engineering a war against Equestria so Tirac can grow strong enough to break out of the Warp.
  • In Yognapped, Notch has the commander of the Valkyrie Army, the Valkyrie Commander. She's a veteran badass who can stay airborne while swinging a BFS and wearing a suit of Scary Impractical Armor, and her Establishing Character Moment has her knocking one of the only true gods in existence unconscious and proceeding to kidnap him.
  • My Hero Academia: Unchained Predator: 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 Oh, Crap! from Wolfram's group, and for good reason.
    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.
