History WesternAnimation / DragonFlyz

* '''Gangrene''': The tech-savvy mutant, whose inventions generally fail due to Dreadwing's absolute lack of patience.

* {{Badbutt}}: Dreadwing's most violent moment is probably when he backhands Orac in "The Defector".

* ConvectionSchmonvection: Exaggerated. The Earth's surface has constant volcanic activity and lava flows everywhere, but still manages to have a bioshpere that includes entire forests that never seem to burn.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Than its DistaffCounterpart, WesternAnimation/SkyDancers, very much so.
* DeathWorld: After the Cataclysm, Earth becomes one pretty much everywhere except Airlandis. That said, there IS still a surviving ecosystem on the lava-blasted surface, and one of the secondar goals of the series is finding an area safe for the people of Airlandis to recolonize.

%%* MadScientist: Gangrene.

%%* {{Mooks}}: Dark Dramen. They're pretty much interchangeable with the only difference being who they serve.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: With names like '''Grangrene''', '''Black'''heart and '''Dread'''wing, it is quite easy to spot the villains of the show.
%%* NeverSayDie: Averted, surprisingly enough.

* NonActionGuy: Orac, who's closest encounter with actual combat occurred in 'Warnado Rising' upon completing the warp cannon.

%%* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Gangrene.

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Airlandis's dragons are wyverns. The villains' dragons WingedTetrapod have the standard pair of wings and four legs instead of two. Beyond this there's also some interesting distinctions: Airlandis' wyverns are all long-bodied and slender, while the villains' dragons are much larger and much bulkier in comparison (save for Gangrene's dragon who looks even more serpentine). Blackheart is also the only dragon that breathes fire, implicitly due to a mutation that allows him to drink lava.

%%* PowerCrystal: Amber, which somehow powers the mechanisms keeping the city of Airlandis aloft.

* ThemeNaming: The Dragon Flyz all have names that refer to the highest point of something; Z'Neth (pronounced 'zenith'), Summit, Peak, and Apex.

%%* TokenNonhuman: Dram.
* UnexplainedRecovery: The end of ''Ground Zero'' sees the characters dropping a nuclear missile on the silo Dreadwing, Gangrene and Nocturna are currently holed up in, with the blast engulfing them. They're completely unharmed in the next episode, without comment.
%%* {{Unobtainium}}: Amber

* DarkerAndEdgier: than its DistaffCounterpart, WesternAnimation/SkyDancers.
* DeathWorld: After the Cataclysm, Earth becomes one pretty much everywhere except Airlandis.

* LethalLavaLand: As explicited elsewhere on this page, Earth's surface has becomes a hotspot (pun intended) for volcanic activity all around the globe.

%%* {{Mooks}}: Dark Dramen.

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Airlandis's dragons are wyverns. The villains' dragons WingedTetrapod have the standard pair of wings and four legs instead of two.
%%* PowerCrystal: Amber.

* WingedHumanoid: All Dramen, as well as the villains.

* HulkSpeak: Fryte, the Dark Dramen (even Dram, to a lesser extent).

%% Hey there Troper. Glad to see somebody's checking this out. I'm looking forward to seeing what people have to say about both this page and its topic. Your mother probably taught you not to pick on the mentally handicapped; the same rule applies for the series. xD

%%* LethalLavaLand: Earth's surface.

%%* DragonRider: Everyone and their mother, it seems.

%%* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: All of the major villains.

The basic premise; an all but world-ending event known as the Cataclysm strips the Earth's surface of most lifeforms and leaving it a poisonous, volcanic wasteland. Humanity escapes complete extinction by fleeing to the upper atmosphere in a flying ark named Airlandis. This city in the sky is powered by orbs of a purple crystal referred to as 'Amber', generally found near lakes or rivers of molten rock. The Dragon Flyz are members of a paramilitary body not unlike the United States Coast Guard, in which they scour the wastelands of Old Earth to collect Amber and defend against the endless attempts at conquest at the hands of Dreadwing and his forces.
