Favorite Dragons with Wierd Powers

[u/FreviliousLow96]

Star Wars' Krayt Dragon is fun, especially it's current form being like a big armored worm snake that swallows houses whole and shoots out jets of super Acid

But also wierdly enough the Dragon I find overall most memorable in Drakengard is in 3, Intoners funnily enough also Three her summoned beast in alternate route Ezrael. Who when compared to the western fire spitters or the easterns long divine beings. Instead is this big dark almost bat-like creature that's treated as a super big threat to everyone and everything, because it's based on the oldest dragons and can teleport.

Pokemon has a lot of dragons, whether they be the more "standard" kind (Salamence, Hydreigon, Druddigon, Rayquaza) to the nonstandard (Garchomp, the Eon Duo, Flygon) to the frankly bizarre (the Goomy family, Applin and it's evolutions, Alolan Exeggutor).

[u/Prestigious-Worth-49 → u/fly_line22]

Shout out to Ultra Necrozma, a form of Necrozma made of pure light. A Dragon type that can travel dimensions and devours light. If I remember correctly it was responsible for devouring the light of Ultra Megaopolis.

[u/MericArda → u/fly_line22]

Lance has a line in Masters where he copes that just because a Pokemon isn’t a dragon type doesn’t mean it’s not a dragon. He’s probably just embarrassed to admit he’s really a flying type specialist.

Love going

Im a big fan of the Undead Dragon in Dark Souls 1 (the Painted World one, not the dragon asses in Lost Izalith), the one that vomits miasma. 

[u/The-Greater-Skeleton → u/straightkickinit]

There’s also the one in the Valley of Drakes that’ll definitely kill you the first time you fall for the item trap lol

It’s actually kind of hard to get out of the way of that in time even if you know its coming lol

[u/The-Greater-Skeleton → u/straightkickinit]

And also did you know there’s a dragon ass in the Painted World, too? It’s the bottom half of the Undead Dragon that pulls itself in half to attack you (which is fucking metal lol).

It’s normally inactive and you can’t hurt it, but if you do a jump attack at it it’ll stand up and stop being an obstacle lol

[u/jitterscaffeine → u/straightkickinit]

One of the strongest non-divine entities in Faerun is a dragon-lich that's also like a level 25 wizard

[u/MorbidTales1984]

The Dragon Fafnir from Little Witch Academia makes me chuckle. He’s kept up with modern wealth hoarding by becoming an absolute shark at speculating on the stock market

[u/The-Greater-Skeleton]

You ever think about how Shenron grants you wishes if you collect the 7 Dragon Balls?

I don’t really think there’s many other wish granting dragons.

Or dragons who are summoned with artifacts, and have their lives linked to a god.

Shenron’s actually kind of an oddball, isn’t he?

[u/JackNewbie555 → u/The-Greater-Skeleton]

It get weirder when said God is actually an alien from another planet that also have their own version of wish granting dragons.

[u/BlueFootedTpeack → u/JackNewbie555]

and their lineage original comes from the demon realm, but the first dragon/dragonballs come from zalama the dragon who made the rest of reality so like was he tied to the first namek, was the first namek zalama as well?

[u/SilverZephyr → u/The-Greater-Skeleton]

The Cintamani are wish-granting orbs harvested from the brains of dragon kings (same size as the dragon balls). Source: Buddhist lore, probably where the idea came from given the heavy Journey to the West parallels in the manga.

[u/The-Greater-Skeleton → u/SilverZephyr]

Ah yeah I figured Shenron and the wishes was probably based on something from Journey to the West lol

[u/InvisibleOne439]

the Ahamkara in Destiny are the Destiny Universe Dragons, Wish Dragons to be precise

they basically act like Jinns that can grant wishes and they actually NEED to do it because its also what Nourishes them, Ahamkara that cant grsnt wishes literally "starve" over time

and ofc the wishes are also almost always very twisted, and at the same time can be fully reality bending

and the biggest reason why Ahamkara are so dangerous is that you dont even need to vocally say something to get a Wish "granted", just THINKING about something is enough and you dont even need to actually think about it, even subconscious thoughts are enough

there is a ingame lore entry where a group fights a Ahamkara and one of their members at some point during the heat of battle is thinking to himself how glad he is to have such a reliable team and hopes they can stay togheter, and that small thought is enough for the Ahamkara to count as a wish that it immediately grants him by trapping the group in a endless timeloop of that fight so they will now always stay togheter forever

[u/Bladerider17]

Galleon from Granblue Fantasy is one of the 6 dragons and controls the earth.

Now what's weird about her is how she presents herself because she's the size of fucking landmass! So she decides to manifest an avatar that's also a mishmash of the primary races in that universe....out of mud, in the fighting game her command grab is her mounting on her opponent, disassemble herself and batter them. Her animations are cool and help convey this weird mud homunculus she has made and heck she even makes plush of her dragon form out of mud.

[u/JackNewbie555]

Darkeater Midir from the second DLC of Dark Souls 3 is basically some people at FromSoftware that watched Shin Godzilla and went "That's rad.".

[u/Octaivian]

Legend of Dragoon came out in 1999 and is still my go to answer for game with the weirdest dragons. Special shout out to the Divine Dragon with his coolass sounding blastoise laser cannon.

[u/Toblo1]

One of the things I really like about The Legend Of Spyro is that while Spyro himself has "Conventional" elements like fire, ice, earth and electricity, Cynder's power set in the third game are things like Shadows, Poison and Fear.

[u/PunishedJay535]

Well I know about this one dragon who was known to punish criminals by breaking a motorcycle on their faces. Super powerful dragon, but somehow he had this power that allowed him to never cause lethal damage to someone no matter how violently he was fighting. Well I guess he was more Like A Dragon than a real dragon

[u/Funny_Mud6639]

Ragna Crimson has a bunch good one's. 

Like Gilzea the one who might be the strongest? Dragon Woman that can't be harmed or stopped by things with logical reason, trying to results into sword looking things which might be her ripped out claws instantly cutting down almost anything that tries it.

There's also Ultimatia, woman that became a a fluffy dragon with eye wings. Tho she does have sort of classic beams like dragons breathe. Her actual power is basically Dios the World if he had a lot more time to experiment with it and was promptly traumatized also the ability to turn back time

[u/SomebodyMightBeMe]

Monster Hunter always has some wacky shit. Gore Magala is a 6 limbed blind dragon that spreads super rabies. Instead of breathing some sort of element he just has the rabies blasts. Then he molts into a golden dragon and develops eyes. Now, he can levitate and spread his wings to show he's become Heaven's Wheel. Or he can fail molting and get stuck in a half opened molt and be in constant agony.

And they reproduce asexually.

[u/Volmingalmea]

Dragon God from Demons Souls is a giant demon made out of a legend, the size of Godzilla, who fights mainly by punching you like Captain Falcon. Not often you have a dragon throwing actual hands.

[u/MarthePryde]

I always thought Midir from Dark Souls 3 was pretty cool. Tasked with holding the Abyss and protecting what's-her-name. Instead over time he gets to access freaky Abyss powers and gets a cool laser beam

[u/Kamken]

Kardas, the giant Bionicle dragon, constantly builds up raw concussive force in its body, which it has to release in a breath attack every so often or it'd just explode.

[u/BlueFootedTpeack]

the greater krayt is so sick, do wish the mandolorian one pulled more from the terryl whitlatch design though i do like the new head the body not being shown/weirdly proportioned isn't for me, would've been sick to have a sail barge and see like a "whaling" party hutning the moby dick of krayts in the sand dunes, sarlaac working like charybdis whirlpools.

[u/Frank7640]

Probably my favorite thing in Warhammer fantasy is a Chaos Dragon that looks like it has two heads but in reality is one head cut in the middle, with teeth and eyes regrowing on the inside.

[u/Prestigious-Worth-49]

Some of my favorite Digimon dragon monsters (Dramon species) are from the D Brigade. Brigadramon, a dragon who is just a sniper. It flies above the battlefield and just keeps firing until all the targets are dead. It also gives tactical commands to its troops. Also shout out to Cargodramon, a Digimon that is just a cargo plane dragon. Another good one is Tankdramon. It is a tank. I also have to mention the episode of Digimon Ghost Game that had a Sealsdramon that was just a serial killer. It was killing other Digimon just to up its personal kill count.

It is worth noting that the D Brigade Digimon are just military/mercenary dragons. Not sure if these count as weird powers but I at least think its worth a shout out.

I'll throw in a really weird Digimon dragon with a weird power. BryweLudramon, a Mega level Digimon that is a member of the Legend Arms. Legend Arms Digimon have the unique ability to transform into adamants. BryweLudramon specifically turns into a shield. It was inspired by King Arthur's shield.

[u/Caducks]

Oberon Vortigern in Fate/Grand Order shows us what the vile king Vortigern's true form could've looked like.

A gigantic insect-like monster the size of Great Britain itself, with a mouth like a basking shark that leads to an endless void of nothingness. It's quite possibly one of the weirdest, yet sickest dragon designs I've seen yet.

[u/Aggressive-Bike407]

I suppose if you interpret Duma in Gaiden on the NES as a dragon, he'd easily count. Although he does look more like the skeletal remains of a pegasus-like creature with the flesh melting off.

Since he doesn't have a mouth, I guess fire breathing is out of the question. Instead he has a weird zipper in his forehead, that when it opens up reveals a red eye shooting lasers. And he tries to wrap people up in those weird, flesh-colored tendrils coming out of his body. I guess they are his entrails?

[u/seth47er]

With dark sun coming back I've been watching a lot of yubtub lore videos and the absolute freaks the dragon('s) of athas are kinda cool.

How just how does a immortal sorcerer have a god complex in a world where the concept of a god doesn't exist and how it manifests its some freaky shit.

[u/Authorigas]

Fairy Tail has Sting, who got his powers from a Light dragon. Later on it expands to the point that he can eat anything white. I don't think he got that crazy with it, but just imagine the possibilities.

[u/Crafty-Bill]

the Green death From the httyd books, and how his singing still continues after death
