Top 10 Most Famous Dragons of All Time
Dragons are awesome mythical creatures. And there's a lot of them in mythology, folklore, and pop culture. And I've compiled a list of ten of the most famous dragons in history.
Smaug is a fictional character and the primary antagonist in J. R. R. Tolkien's 1937 novel The Hobbit. In Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy, he was portrayed via motion capture by Benedict Cumberbatch. The last of the great dragons of Middle Earth and the primary antagonist in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. He lives within the Linely Mountain and has a huge pile of treasure that he stole from the dwarves. Bilbo Baggins tries to steal a two-handled cup from the treasure hoard, but Smaug later discovers the theft and circles the sky above the mountain in a rage, bellowing and shooting flames. Later, Bilbo makes himself invisible and sneaks into the dragon's cave again. Although Smaug cannot see Bilbo, he can smell him and he mocks the invisible hobbit. Bilbo flatters the vain Smaug into rolling over onto his back. Bilbo spots an open patch in Smaug's jeweled armor. Knowledge of his weak spot is passed on to Bard the Bowman, who kills Smaug with a single, black, dwarf-made arrow.
The last of the mighty great dragons of Middle Earth! And probably the smallest... but we still love him, also, why is Shenron number one? Smaug is MUCH more iconic! "I am fire! I... am... Death."
It is by far # 1, those top some lame Polish dragons at Top also with lame cartoons ones totally somebody used fake voting or something.
Smaug, just the name, reminds me of the fearsome battles that dragon has fought.
Toothless is always my favorite. How to Train Your Dragon 1, How To Train Your Dragon Riders of Berk, How To Train Your Dragon Race To The Edge, How To Train Your Dragon 2, How To Train Your Dragon 3, How To Train Your Dragon Homecoming and How To Train Your Dragon Nine Realms which wasn't necessary.
Toothless is the best dragon in this list! He's funny and dangerous, and belongs to the rariest species - Night Fury (also this name - Night Fury - is the best!). HE MUST BE #1
One of the scariest dragons ever seeing that he beat the king of dragons without trying very hard.
He's the best. My phone lock screen is Toothless.
Charizard, known in Japan as Lizardon, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Charizard first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and subsequent sequels.

He isn't a dragon or a dragon type. His description doesn't even say dragon! He is a flying and fire pokemon
Shenron is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama.
Game Of Thrones, Dany's awesome and last living Dragon another one desrves to be Top 3. Also where is Night King's Undead badass Viserion not even on the list.
Love his design, doesn't deserve #1 but should at least be in the top ten!
Should be number 1
The third and final enemy in the epic poem Beowulf, one of the earliest known works of fiction. The dragon is also the first example of a fire-breathing dragon in literature.
The dragon is awoken after a slave steals a jewel-encrusted cup from its layer, driving the dragon into a frenzy. The monster attacks Beowulf's homeland, forcing Beowulf to take action by going into its lair with his thanes. In the end, all of Beowulf's thanes run away except Wiguf. Beowulf dies in battle with the beast, but he does allow Wiguf to deliver the killing blow.
I love dragons. Nice list.
May I just add that there's a lot of them in metal music, too, especially in power and folk metal - on album covers, in song titles and lyrics, in band names.
In Norse mythology, Fafnir was once a greedy dwarf, but got turned into a dragon after being affected by the curse of Andvari's ring and gold. His brother Regin asks the hero Sigurd to slay Fafnir because Fafnir murdered their father for the treasure and he still refuses to share it with Regin. Sigurd digs a trench across the path Fafnir follows for his daily drink at the river. Hidden in the trench, Sigurd thrusts his mighty sword into Fafnir's belly as he slithers overhead. At Regin's request, Sigurd cuts out Fafnir's heart and roasts it. Sigurd burns his fingers on the red-hot heart. When he sucks on his fingers to relieve the pain, the taste of Fafnir's blood gives Sigurd the power to understand the language of birds. The birds warn Sigurd that Regin plans to kill him, so Sigurd kills Regin and claims the treasure.
I love his portrayal in Dragon Maid.
Fafnir is also a beyblade that belongs to Free de la Hoya in the beyblade burst evolution series
She is a beautiful red dragon!
In Polish legend, a fearsome dragon lives in a dark cave at the foot of Wawel Hill along the banks of the Vistula River. Every day it rages through the countryside, terrifying the inhabitants of Kraków. A peasant boy named Krak is allowed by the king to slay the dragon. Krak stuffs three roasted sheep full of sulfur and hot spices and leaves the spicy meal next to the dragon's cave. The dragon gulps them down whole. The spices and sulfur burn the dragon's stomach. It drinks half the Vistula River to quench it's thirst. It's swollen, burning gut bursts and kills it.

King Ghidorah is Godzilla's Greatest Enemy of all times since 1964's Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster. Godzilla 2014, 2019 and 2021 is the same godzilla. The fights between the 2 rivals are insane.

Yamata no Orochi is an evil dragon that has eight heads and eight tails. Each year he demands that a Japanese maiden be offered to him in sacrifice. Susanoo, the god of the sea and storms, is the only one who can stop him. He arranges right enormous vats of rice wine in a circle and leaves them out to tempt the dragon. Attracted by the smell of the strong wine, Orochi plunges each of his eight heads into a vat and drinks greedily.

Ah... probably the first of the great dragons, and one of the biggest, only second to the mighty Ancalagon the Black, also, where is he?!?!

Probably the coolest dragon I've ever seen.
A bloodthirsty monster that appears in an episode to the hagiography of Saint George called Saint George and the Dragon.

The princess is tied to a wooden stake near the spring. Saint George, a soldier of the Roman Empire, discovers the distressed princess and untied her. Saint George charges the dragon on horseback.

Saint George announces he will finish off the dragon if the citizens convert to Christianity. They agree to convert and Saint George draws his sword and kills the dragon.
The Fucanglong (also known as Futs-Lung) is the Chinese underworld dragon who guards buried treasures, both natural and man-made. His most treasured possession is a magic pearl that multiplies when touched. The pearl is considered the most valuable of his treasures because it represents wisdom. It takes nearly 3,000 years for the Fucanglong to grow to his terrific adult size. Newly hatched, he looks much like an eel. By 500 years of age, the Fucanglong has grown a head that resembles a carp's. By his 1,500th birthday, he will grow a long tail, a head with a thick beard, and four Stimpy legs with claws. At the age of 2,000, the Fucanglong will have horns.
