Our Dragons Are Different/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

** Spike's new incarnation in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' is an [[Extreme Omnivore]] that especially likes to eat gems, and has magic fire breath that he uses to send messages like a living fax machine.

** Spike aside, ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' has a standard Western dragon in the episode "Dragonshy", and another one in "Owl's Well that Ends Well" who has the added features of retractable claws and tail spikes. The sea serpent in part 2 of the pilot has an overall design very similar to Eastern dragons. Both dragons hoard gemstones and riches in their caves, which actually makes sense here given that, as Spike proves, this version of dragons' preferred diet is gemivorous.

**** The episode "The Secret of My Excess" shows that draconic maturity is related to greed and hoarding, the more they hoard the bigger they get {{spoiler|and giving it up makes them shrink.}}

**** The episode "Dragon Quest" features Spike going on a great dragon migration to find out about himself. The episode shows dragons of different colors and shapes and sizes, some with horns and some with spikes and more, showing there's more variety of dragons in Equestria than previously thought.

* The eponymous dragon in ''[[Potatoes and Dragons]]'' can't fly, and its body and head are just kind of a green lump with stegosaur-like spikes. It also has an irrational hatred of crowns for some bizarre reason.

* ''[[The Herculoids]]''. Zok, the dragon with [[Frickin' Laser Beams|laser]] [[Eye Beams|beam]] eyes.

Tales of derring-do,

Bad and good luck-tales! }}

* One episode of ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'' had the Genie build a mechanical dragon to test Aladdin's bravery. Unfortunately, Genie accidentally destroys the remote used to control the dragon, and as a result the mechanical dragon starts to malfunction and goes on a rampage.

* One rather odd episode of ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'' was about Garfield and his owner Jon Arbuckle ordering food at a Chinese restaurant when the waitress noticed that Garfield was actually eating too much food. She then cautions Jon by telling him an ancient Chinese folktale about an evil dragon who threatened a nearby village to completely relinquish their food otherwise he will set their village on fire. A big tiger-striped cat challenges the dragon to an eating contest in order to get the villagers' food back and wins. The dragon gets very furious and starts chasing away the cat, and while everyone's food has finally been rescued by the cat, both the dragon and the cat were never seen again. After she is finished, the waitress tells Jon that if the orange-and-black cat's descendant (in this case, Garfield himself) eats too much, then the dragon from the folktale will have his revenge. The episode ends with Garfield and Jon leaving the restaurant, while the dragon looks on while disguised as a paper dragon.
