Dragons: A Fantasy Made Real/Characters
This is the list of the various dragon species found in Dragons: A Fantasy Made Real.
Prehistoric Dragon
The first of the dragons that the mockumentary focused on. The Prehistoric Dragon lived long before the humans appeared, back to the time of the dinosaurs. Its size rivaled even that of the T-Rex and it is the largest of the dragons. Like most other prehistoric creatures, the Prehistoric Dragon went extinct after the K-T Event.
- Breath Weapon: Its fire breath. It is a dragon, after all.
- Giant Flyer
- The Greatest Story Never Told: Presumably, given that no record (fossil or otherwise) of the dragon was ever found.
- Playing with Fire: It is a dragon, after all.
- Prehistoric Monster
- Our Dragons Are Different: Unlike most depictions of dragons, it actually only has 4 limbs as it lacked front legs.
Marine Dragon
Like the Prehistoric Dragon, the Marine Dragon also exist as far back as the dinosaur times. Like the name suggests, the Marine Dragon inhabits the ocean rather than the land. Unlike the Prehistoric Dragon, it escaped extinction of the K-T Event due to their marine habitats.
- Giant Swimmer
- Our Dragons Are Different: It is actually a sea monster.
- Sea Monster: In fact, human encounters with Marine Dragons may actually be the inspiration for sea monsters in various myths.
- Vertebrate with Extra Limbs: Due to a genetic mutation somewhere along the line.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: It was never told what the final fate of the Marine Dragon was.
Forest Dragon
As the climate stablized after the K-T Event, the dragons soon recolonized the land. The Forest Dragon ended up inhabiting the bamboo forests of China. They mainly hunted the large mammals that was abundant in the forest.
- Breath Weapon: Its fire breath.
- Not Quite Flight: Unlike the other terrestrial dragons, its wings are rather minuscule and only good for gliding rather than flying.
- Our Dragons Are Different: It's implied to be the basis of the Chinese Dragon.
- Playing with Fire: It regained this ability after it was lost by the Marine Dragon.
- Tiger Versus Dragon: A literal example. The dragon won.
- Tree Cover: This is their method of hunting, given that their habitat is a dense forest.
- Vertebrate with Extra Limbs: Given that it descended from the Marine Dragon.
Mountain Dragon
The other terrestrial dragon that came after the K-T Event. They had traditionally roam large areas of land in search of large herds of game. Human civilization had forced these dragons up into the highest mountains, hence the name Mountain Dragon. The Mountain Dragon was finally driven into extinction by the humans.
- Breath Weapon: Like all the other terrestrial dragons.
- Giant Flyer
- Our Dragons Are Different: It's implied to be the basis of the European Dragon.
- Playing with Fire: Well of course.
- Reluctant Monster: They are infamous for stealing human cattle, but it is only an attempt to feed themselves.
- Vertebrate with Extra Limbs: Given that it descended from the Marine Dragon.
