Most Popular Dragons Of All Time

1. Puff The Magical Dragon
Puff, the magical dragon is actually a song sung by Peter, Paul and Mary in 1963 which achieved great popularity and stirred controversy with the idea thatpuffing the magic dragon had something to do with smoking marijuana. Though the authors of the song have repeatedly rejected this urban legend and have strongly and consistently denied that they intended any references to drug use. The lyrics tells the story of an ageless dragon Puff and his little friend Jackie Paper. When Jackie grows up, he losses interest in Puff and leaves the magical dragon all alone and depressed. The story is about the hardships of growing up.
2. Petes Dragon Elliot
How would you like to have an invincible dragon in your house? It really isnt as scary as it sounds, though Elliotts naivety often does causes trouble but at least he isnt as badass as Smaug.Petes Dragon is a 1977 liveaction/animated musical film from Walt Disney Production that narrates the story of a young orphan named Pete who enters the fishing town of Passamaquoddy with his only friend Elliott who protects Pete and occasionally lands him into trouble with the towns folk.

3. Smaug MostPopular Dragons
Over the years writer J. R. R. Tolkien has created themost fascinating characters in literature, Smaug the fire drake is one of them. He is probably the only dragon that has as many as 15 different names (Smaug the Magnificent, Smaug the Terribe, Smaug the Mighty etcetera). He first appeared as an antagonist in the 1937 novelThe Hobbit, where he is described asmost specially greedy, strong and wicked worm. He lived in a den on the Lonely Mountain where he guarded all the treasures. This ones a badass, better steer clear of him. And btw, Benedict Cumberbatch had provide the voice and motioncapture for Smaug in Peter Jacksons trilogy.
4. Draco
Yeah, I know. You thought of Draco Malfoy in the first glace at the name. Dragonheart came out in 1996. Draco, voiced by Sean Connery was one of the protagonists. This digitally created copperscaled dragon was back then the finest and most authentic looking dragon ever seen onscreen. Without giving away too much of the plot, let me inform you that in the film Draco was the last living dragon and had managed to incur the wrath of a village. Although, he is feared, Draco is actually kindhearted, very wise, sarcastic and unfailingly loyal. In the film he finds an unlikely friend in a knight played by Dennis Quaid.
5. Fin Fang Foom
The most enduringcharacter of the longgone age of monsters, Fin Fang Foom had first appeared in comic books published by Marvel Comics created by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby.

Fin Fang Foom has fought with a number of superheroes like Iron Man, Fantastic Four et al. He ranks 99, in the IGNs list of Top 100Comic Book Villainsof All Time.
6. Mushu
The funniest dragon that ever lived. Well, he didnt exactly live, except for in our spawning creative minds. Mushu is a red dragon that appeared in the 1998Disney filmMulan and its sequel. Voiced by Eddie Murphy initially and Mark Moseley later, Mushu provides comic relief in the films. He is overconfident, funny, impulsive and selfish. Once he was a guardian of Mulans family but was demoted for not being able to protect one of family members. Desperate to rise to his former position he urges Mulan to join the army and places his life on risk which he later regrets. Underneath everything Mushu has a good heart and is rather sensitive about his size. He hates being called a lizard Hey! Dragon. DRAGON, I dont do that tongue thing (hisses).
7. Saphira
She is the marvellous creation of the American author Christopher Paolini. Though the first book of the Inheritance Cycle is named Eragon after her rider, Eragon the most important character in the book is Saphira. She was the one who choose to find Eragon and unleash the potentials within him to fight the evil powers. Lucky chap! Saphira is not only his partner and friend, she is s guide who gently leads Erago to the right direction when hes lost. And when it comes to surreal power, she can telepathically connect with her rider and offer the most sophisticated dragony advice. You should get a dragon like Saphira for yourself. No, seriously. Shell turn your life around. Check out Saphira, the enchanting blue dragon in the trailer of the feature filmEragon released in 2006.
8. St George and The Dragon
St. George is Englands patron saint. According to the Christian hagiography, St. George (275303 AD) became a venerated Christian martyr after winning a battle against a dragon therefore saving thousands of lives. There are many versions of the story of St. George slaying the dragon but the most popular one goes like this its called saving the damsel in distress. A town that was terrorised by a dragon decided to appease him by offering a princess. St. George upon hearing the news marched towards the dragons lair and slayed him right across his wings (for the wigs were scaleless and vulnerable). Disney had made a feature film in 1941 based on the 1898 childrens storyThe Reluctant Dragon by Kenneth Grahame. This short story is often hailed as the prototype of most modern stories where the dragon is depicted as a sympathetic character than a threat.
