Famous Black Dragons

[Mark Chance]

While the effort at a non-traditional observance is appreciated, this is unfortunately not truly in the spirit of Black History Month educational goals.

It could be if he opted for the Black Dragon himself: Ron Van Clief!

Don't forget Wesley Snipes and Samuel L. Jackson!

Sure...they may not look it, but I have it on good authority they have rings of shapechange...

We love it when Dragon Dronet comes up to RadCon every year to show and tell us the awesome things he does in movies and TV. He's famous to Sci Fi/Fantasy con goers around here.



He's who came to mind when I read the title of this thread. So, here I am expressing my admiration and gratitude for this very cool man. Dragon Rocks!

Dragon Dronet


He was a Pit Fighter in the first Conan movie.

This is only tangentially related but to this day I think the most awesome dragon battle sequence on film is the fight at the end of Disney's Sleeping Beauty.

Mergandevinasander of Chult, found in FR, Dragons of Faerûn, elsewhere?

This dragon had purple eyes, and the famous Drizzt once impersonated him (pretending to be polymorphed) to trick a red dragon. In... "sojourn" I think.

Apparently less famous than some others (and only badass in terms of competence):

Mayland Long, the title character of R. A. MacAvoy's Tea with the Black Dragon (1983) -- Ancient; shapechanging to human form; quite large hands suitable for playing keyboard instruments.

 

[MonkeyDragon]

Malificent, the wicked fairy in Sleeping Beauty. In traditional stories, she's just the wicked fairy or sorceress, but in the Disney movie, she turned into a black dragon at the end. So who's to say that she hasn't been a shapechanged black dragon all along? That could be fun.

In Monte Cook's Banewarrens and Ptolus there is a black dragon known as Father Claw who ascended and is worshipped by kobolds and lizard men, I think one of his lieutenants rose up against him and became a lesser god as well.

In Monte's Module for Atlas Games there is the black dragon Storamere [sblock]who went insane bred with lots of different things to make half dragons (drow, umber hulk, carrion crawlers) and returned as a ghost after dying.[/sblock]

Heh. I worked with Dragon for about 4 months on Tim Burton's 'Planet of the Apes'. He was a great guy.
