Paathurnax was the one and only character I refused to kill in any of my playthroughs. He’s just so goddamn awesome and voiced by goddamn mario

 

[Sgt.Asher]

So many monster hunter choices, for the more dragon shaped Gogmazios.
Then for their more unique designs Nakarkos, it's nice to fight a laser cuttlefish. Also Ahtal-ka

Is the thing you fly in Panzer Dragoon classed as a dragon? Or is it a dragoon?

 

[simpatico]

Pretty sure this one is going to have to come from the Panzer Dragoon series

Darkeater Midir for me.

Insane fight and an incredible ost.

The way the music ramps up is absolutely phenomenal and I never get tired of this fight. Playing this boss on a big TV is pure spectacle.

 

[Paltheos]

The God Emperor Fou-Lu obv.

There are probably better picks, but he's the first I thought of.

 

[poodaddy]

I give it to the Gaping Dragon from Dark Souls, purely because of how creative and creepily tragic it is. From Software has some of the best character and monster designers of the entire industry, and designs like this really make them stand apart.

Placidudax from Elden Ring is the best , coolest and most epic dragon and dragon fight I've seen in a video game.

 

[KiteGr]

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.

Came to post Grigori but it's already posted.

Not the best, but...

 

[Randall365]

Seethe off Dark Souls.

The guy had his own science lab, library and workers, with some trained guard-boars, along with a crystal cave to chill out in when he fancied.

Fuck knows how many test tubes he fumbled and broke or how many minions got ice blasted to death when he got a bit cross about something.

Clearly hugely dedicated.

Fatalis forever.

 

[Neolombax]

I thought Bayle was pretty badass, though I don't play Elden Ring.

 

[Spiral1407]

I always though the Dragon God was pretty cool even if the boss fight kinda sucked

 

[Kotaro]

Midir, The Dark Eater,

no competition, by far the best dragon in video games in term of design and fight mechanic and music/atmosphere

 

[Thebonehead]

The Dragon 32 obviously.. It was a Welsh clone of the Trs-80 and my second ever home computer

Humans addiction to anything dragons is fascinating. Even in our imagination, no other made up animal has surpassed it.

Which was the first media ever where the Dragons appeared ?

 

[keefged4]

Easy

Kiryu-san is the only correct answer here.

 

[PeteBull]

One of the best dragon fights, still holds up to this day too

 

[DelireMan7]

Midir, The Dark Eater,

no competition, by far the best dragon in video games in term of design and fight mechanic and music/atmosphere

Midir is cute in comparison to Placidusax.

That being said I'd say he probably has the second spot on my ranking of best dragon fight. Maybe third after Dragon God from Demon's Souls.

 

[Alexios]

This isn't their best depiction, being based on 90's FMV & renders (and I didn't think Orta's designs stacked up to the previous games so ignore the middle one, though some alternative forms & evolutions could be cool) but yeah, it's Panzer Dragoon's as mentioned (way too late in the thread smh).

The adversaries were cool too of course.

Other than that, probably something from Monster Hunter (but likely not some crazy elder dragon design, something more tame like the various raths and exes). That one Dark Souls dragon was ace too, for going against your expectations like it did when it surfaced and opened its gaping mouth.

 

[CashPrizes]

Lagi from Panzer Dragoon I think deserves #1, this is his final form but his other forms as he was growing in Panzer Dragoon Zwei were also awesome.

Surprised no love for Flammie from Secret of Mana. Definitely my favorite "cute" dragon design.

 

[Kadve]

BTW, this have to be a secret achievement in quite a bit of games right?

 

[GymWolf]

It must be monster hunter, they have a huge number of cool dragons with the best intros ever.

 

[Kadve]

On a (slightly more) serious note:

Cause i used to play this game a lot xd.

 

[RaZoR No1]

Probably the one we never got to play...

Scalebound!

I mean having a huge Dragon as a partner who decimates all kinds of enemies with you.

Why the hell not?!

Why did they take away something like that from us?

 

[Mozzarella]

Can't believe nobody said this yet.
Broken unit

Thank you. Finally someone who posted the absolutely timeless designs of Panzer Dragoon.
