So who are your favorite dragons from books, games, movies, and whatever else you can think of?
For me, Smaug from J. R. R. Tolkiens The Hobbit is way up on my list. He's so amazingly... dragonish (well, obviously, but some dragons these days....) Not a sissy dragon, to be sure.
Saphira from Christopher Paolini's Eragon is also pretty high up. Perhaps not so much for her attitude, but just that the picture of her that I form in my mind is so beautiful... a sapphire blue dragon...
All of the dragons from the books by Chris D'Lacey's ( The Fire Within, Icefire, and Fire Star, I think the names of them are) are pretty cool, in my opinion. Admittedly, this is one of the cases where the dragons are... well, not very dragonish, considering they're probably under a foot tall. But the dragons are so... funny. And cute. And understanding. And quirky. Definitely quirky.
Perhaps tied with Smaug at the top of my list is Haku (not sure on spelling) from the Japanese animated movie Spirited Away (directed by Hayao Miyazaki). I think I'm in love with Haku's dragon form, which sounds really weird, but... he's the single most gorgeous dragon I've probably ever seen. Plus, he's an Asian species of dragon, which means his fundamentally good character is understandable.
