Our Dragons Are Different/Web Comics

""We like to keep a low profile. Best not to draw attention to ourselves, unlike those [common dragons]. And where are they now, eh?" - Kos, Orjak."
 * George the Dragon has a dragon named... well, what do you know...George. As far as we've seen he is the ONLY dragon on earth, and he certainly DOES get around a bit. He is the regular 4 legs and 2 wings variety but his wings tend to come and go and will. Also of note, George's diet seems to consist entirely of junk food.
 * Gunnerkrigg Court has Rogat Orjaks ("horned giants"), which are large, human-like lizard things. They're intelligent, benign, and keep to themselves. The passage formerly quoted at the top of the page implies that there were real dragons, until they were exterminated for showing off a bit too much:


 * Girl Genius features the Dragon King of Mars in one of the fictional Heterodyne Boys stories. He looks like a robotic Western dragon. Mars, in this story, seems to be inhabited by such robot dragons.
 * Then there is Franz, the dragon-like monster guarding the treasure vault of Castle Heterodyne.
 * Kay The Cookie Jar Dragon is actually a miniature Cute Monster Girl. One of the characters hangs a lampshade on this, talking about all the things that dragons should be; Kay simply replies, "But I am a dragon", and this is taken as a perfectly good excuse.
 * Order of the Stick, in its eternal quest to mock Dungeons and Dragons tropes to death, of course covered this, even giving us the term Color Coded for Your Convenience.
 * The colour coding of dragons appears to have been slightly subverted recently with
 * Llewellyn of Ozy and Millie is essentially a lovably eccentric Englishman -- and a wise, kind-hearted adoptive father -- in dragon form. Oh, and he's also Really Seven Hundred Years Old.
 * "Lovably eccentric" is pretty much dragons' hat in Ozy and Millie. During a family reunion, Ozy won a game by being suitably Zen in his justification for not participating to begin with.
 * Sluggy Freelance featured a flower-breathing dragon that "terrorized" the Dimension of Pain for a while... until Reakk boinked it.
 * Aylee also took on a fire-breathing dragon form for a while, as a reaction to being stuck in cryo for months. Most of her forms after that and the one just before it were dragon-like.
 * The flower-breather was one of three "Dragons of Annoyia". Another one was a nebbishy sort who didn't appear to breathe anything, but was pretty much the embodiment of everything you can find annoying about another person.
 * Erfworld's "dwagons" are diffewent, resembling giant stuffed toys. However, in combat they seem to be about as tough and dangerous as traditional Western dragons.
 * They also seem to be non-intelligent, though its hard to tell with any of the basic troops. Basically only warlords get lines.
 * This Penny Arcade comic involves a calling out out on essentially, a book's dragons being not-so-different.
 * The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob posits that dragons evolved from kuehneosaurs. They had an advanced civilization but destroyed it in a war, taking the dinosaurs with them. The survivors became pastoral. When humans evolved and came into conflict with them, the dragons avoided a war with the primitives by leaving Earth for Butane, a planet in the Kuiper Belt. They are part of Princess Voluptua's space empire.
 * Linburger. The dragon was long and looked like an eastern dragon. However, it was just a very big beast and devours anybody caught outside like a western dragon. If you kill one, the body will release pheromones that attract hundreds, so the government just leave them alone to chomp on slum residents until it leaves.
 * Planes of Eldlor features five subspecies: Fire, storm, desert, swamp, and riftwalker dragons. Each has distinctive features and abilities, though all of them share the classic "western dragon" appearance of having four legs and large, batlike wings. The dragons of Eldlor are benevolent and intelligent, but somewhat reclusive - though occasional mischevious pranksters like Sukozu enjoy visiting human villages just to "see the looks on their faces."
 * The Law of Purple: 'Dragons' are actually higher-dimensional creatures that spend most of their time in another plane of existence.
 * Alternia of Homestuck has a species of dragons, the Dragonyy'yd. They are all telepathic, but are blind until maturity. As such, they sense through smell. These dragons are highly intelligent, and can even communicate with the outside world before their egg hatches. Terezi and  had one as her lusus. This came in handy for the former after she went blind.
 * Dominic Deegan has dragons as well, but only one ever shows up. They're more along the lines of western dragons in appearance, as well as colossal in size and capable of powerful magic. Apparently their language and beautiful and lyrical to the ear, but the one we see speaks a very different language so Dominic never gets to hear it himself. Plus, they're very rare, so if ever one has the opportunity to meet one is considered incredibly lucky.
 * The former title character of Daryl and Susie is a dragon. He, and other dragons like him, is bipedal, is about the same size as a human and resembles a crocodile with wings. One trait that Daryl doesn't share with his fellow dragons though, is that he has monsters come out of his head.
 * Footloose: We use them to test our students!
 * El Goonish Shive has a dragon like creature called the Taurcanis Draco which is basically what you'd get if you combined a bulldog, a bat, and a goat while making it the size of a small car and reptilian.
 * In Endstone, it's the form assumed by a stoner rocking the Dragonstone.
 * Dragons in The FAN are deities. They never appear, but a common depiction of Galion, the Dragon of Light is humanoid.
 * In Galactic Maximum, dragon support.
 * In American Barbarian, a dragon asleep in the snow

 * Dark Wings'' has the gargantuan Great Dragons, the never-seen-on-panel common dragons, and the small but crafty wyverns. All have approximately human intelligence.
 * Deviant ART: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=100+heads#/d1nf54d This rendition of a multi-headed dragon by artist IRIRIV. Instead of the typical dragon, the Centocephalic Dragon has an almost sauropod-like body with half its 100 long serpentine heads moving and twirling around the rest of the body to aid in balance and efficiency. Along with its normal set of limbs, it also uses it's wings to aid in walking (leaving the artist to wonder why normal dragons do not use this mode of locomotion considering their huge size). Instead of fire, it spits molten metal that not only burns but hits hard.
