Evil dragon? Dragon slaying? Cute Dragon? Dragon riding? It all counts!

What’s the absolute best dragon ever created in a video game?

 

[Magic Carpet]

Currently playing Spyro on Gamepass. This game has a bunch of goofy dragons in it.

 

[intbal]

Borealis from Elden Ring is an absolute bastard.
So cool, though.

 

[LectureMaster]

Cute Dragon

 

[DeVeAn]

Easy

 

[Mayar]

Fatalis - Monster Hunter World: Iceborne
Elden Ring, Dragons also very cool =)

 

[Fbh]

Design wise I've always like the Rathalos.
It's not the most unique or flashy design but it still manages to be recognizable while having that sort of quintessential cool dragon look:

In term of the actual fight though I thought Bayle from Elden Ring was fun to fight and looked cinematic as fuck

 

[ClanOfNone]

Curse you Bayyyyyllllllle!

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

 

[Mayar]

She is Manakete They sealed their true dragon forms into their Dragonstones. Technically, she is no longer quite a dragon =)

 

[willothedog]

Blue, of course

 

[West Texas CEO]

Bahamut

 

[FoxMcChief]

Rune farming elder dragon in Elden Ring.

The best things are the ones that we never get to know, so we can’t measure their merits. Therefore:

 

[Guilty_AI]

thread needs more dragon girls

 

[Skifi28]

Fatalis in Iceborne. Design, Lore, actual fight, everything is jsut perfect.

I mean, imagine a dragon that hates human so much he nearly wiped them all out on his own and that stands on his hind legs just to mock you before it melts you on his scales as part of his armor.

 

[Hrk69]

Does Bowsette count?

 

[yogaflame]

The dragons in the game "Lair" for Ps3 was impressive for me.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Dragon of Dojima

 

[Varteras]

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Bahamut, but in particular the one from Final Fantasy 10.

Its flying wyvern not a dragon.

My choice is Angelus from Drakengard...

And Belial from Odin Sphere

This
Placidusax was also preatty great, especially when he fired the lasors.

Well, let's be honest, Monster Hunter has never been particularly logical in terms of monster types. Because from Capcom's point of view, this is Elder Dragon

But let's all be honest with ourselves, we all see a horse here.

But thats what i find it interesting. Kirin might have horse like body but its face definitely looks like a dragon.

They have some pretty controversial designs, they take different mythical creatures and animals and mix them with a bit of dragon design. =)

 

[Icymanipulator]

Rathalos or Fatalis, or some other one from Monster Hunter. But whichever it is, it’s definitely a creature from Monster Hunter.

 

[Edellus]

The King of dragons, of course; Bahamut. FFXIV version for me. That Bahamut didn't mess around:

 

[Boralf]

Haxorus carried me recently in a playthrough of Pokémon Black 2.

 

[Mozzarella]

Forgot his name but that Dragon in Skyrim who sits at the top of the mountain chilling there and giving you life coaching lol

[Reizo Ryuu]

Nothing beats grigori

 

[TintoConCasera]

Grigori has already been posted, so I'll go with the red dragon from Dragon's Crown.

Very cool design and a great bossfight.

 

[Aion002]

Ryu from the Breath of Fire series.

There is only one correct answer and I am embarassed for GAF that nobody posted it yet

Saskia aka Saesenthessis

Saskia aka Saesenthessis

I would have picked her if she had let my Geralt seduce her. Sadly she has a dwarf fetish.

[ap_puff]

I think the only time a video game dragon really wow'ed me is the cutscene from FFXIV' A Realm Reborn Trailer. So I guess that'd be Bahamut.

 

[Sooner]

Dragon God - Demon's Souls

 

[Pimpollo818]

Sinh - Sunken Crown DLC

 

[proandrad]

Remake pls

I will always remember Grigori as the Dragon that

kidnapped the Innkeeper thinking he was my love interest

, and turning what was supposed to be a

Spoiler

sophie's choice moment

into something unintentionally hilarious.

For the record, I really did enjoy how it played it, as it highlights how delightfully absurd games can get despite cranking the dial of seriousness up to 11.

 

[MujkicHaris]

Skyrim was already mentioned. Based designs. Charizard from Pokémon is cool too.

My favorites are all dragons in Gothic II and Gothic II: Night of the Raven. But the one I like the most in those games is Feomathar, the fire dragon.

"I simply cannot believe that there truly are still people who will forfeit their lives merely to see a dragon in the flesh." ~Feomathar, The Fire Dragon
