I always sort of thought of Ridley as a Psycho for Hire. ("So I get paid to kill stuff, possibly including that chick with the power armor, and I get dental? Where do I sign?")

Is there a trope for when a character is a dragon for multiple big bads? I looked at the list under the dragon and none seemed to fit this. I also searched for what I would call the trope, either "Dragon for Hire" or "Professional Dragon".
Example: In Metroid, Ridley is the dragon (quite literally) to Mother Brain but in Metroid Prime 3, he is now the Dragon to Dark Samus (Metroid Prime).
Ghirahim in Hyrule Warriors serves as Dragon for Demise, Cia (debatable), and Ganon.
