European Dragons are traditionally shown as forces of nature, or even symbolic of evil in its purest form. They can only be tamed by the select few, and the ones that aren't tamed tend to wreck villages and cities, as well as eat livestock and destroy crops. Almost like predator animals, but bigger and stronger. Expect them to be giant winged beasts that breathe fire. Eastern dragons are usually more benign, but are powerful, almost god-like beings capable of immense destruction if they are angered. Then you have these dragons. They're not mean or destructive; in fact, they're downright friendly. These dragons tend to be only slightly bigger than an adult human and have much rounder features. Expect them to be a Friend to All Living Things or at least a Friend to All Children. If they are a lot bigger than humans, chances are they'll be a Gentle Giant. Small ones may be a Shoulder-Sized Dragon. Despite their benign nature, disturbing their friends or home can result in a major case of Beware the Nice Ones. If they aren't intelligent enough to talk, they may act like cats. This is a fairly recent trope as far as depictions of dragons are concerned. The idea of dragons as relatable characters in their own right in European culture can probably be dated back to Kenneth Grahame's short story The Reluctant Dragon, published in 1898. It would not be until the late 20th century, though, that "cute" dragons truly became a fixture of popular culture. Nowadays, such portrayals are extremely common, to the point of almost rivaling the original, more monstrous, portrayals in number. Compare Lovable Lizard, a much smaller, but equally friendly reptile. |

The dragons native to the setting of Heralds of Valdemar are malevolent, unintelligent magical monsters called cold-drakes, but in the short story A Dragon In Distress, Tarma and Kethry are called through a portal into another canon where a friendly, tea-drinking dragon asks for their help in rescuing the princess she adopted from a prince who's stolen her away. | |

Dragons in the world of Dragonheart are a noble and mighty race who swore an oath to guide and protect mankind. They can even share half their heart in order to help save the life of a mortal who they deem worthy. This is specifically shown with Draco, a very charming and heroic dragon who tried to change the evil nature of a mortally wounded prince by sharing half his heart and making the boy swear that he would rule justly and uphold the old cold. Drake from Dragonheart: A New Beginning while similar in appearance to his father Draco he is a lot more childlike and wide-eyed. |

Another Eastern dragon example is Sisu from Raya and the Last Dragon, a kind-hearted water dragon who genuinely believes in the best of everyone and appeals to their better inner qualities. Additionally, the film depicts all dragons as heroes who protect humanity from the Eldritch Abominations known as the Druun. The loss of the dragons triggers The End of the World as We Know It, while their return leads to a World-Healing Wave that eliminates the Druun and begins a new era of peace. |

Raedon the copper dragon in Dragonlance: The New Adventures is friendly even for a metallic dragon (in Dragonlance, metallic dragons are good while chromatic ones are evil), and helps out the heroes on several occasions. Which makes it all the worse when the Big Bad performs a Grand Theft Me on him and uses his body to destroy a village. | |

Dragon becomes this in Shrek due to her crush on Donkey. In the original film, she starts out as a fierce dragon who guards the tower that Princess Fiona is trapped in, but near the end, she flies Shrek and Donkey to Lord Farquaad's castle to stop Farquaad from marrying Fiona and eats Farquaad shortly after. At the end of Shrek 2, she and Donkey become parents of Dronkeys, creatures that are half-dragon and half-donkey. | |

Twin Dragons: The protagonists and titular characters, Kai and Kaya Romero are humanoid dragon hybrids. Kai is friendly to his peers, polite to his elders, and is even willing to reach out to those who haven't been nice to him if he sees a speck of goodness in them. Kaya is a playful sweetheart who is very sorry for every perceived wrongdoing on her part, is very affectionate to those she cares for, and her sincerity and loyalty means she's the one that Cleo trusts the most. Don't think you can mistreat anyone they care about, though. | |

When Women Were Dragons: While dragons can theoretically have as many personalities as humans, the ones shown in the narrative use their power to help the world. Some dragons start guarding pods of whales and other endangered species, others use their sense of smell and flight to defuse minefields, and still others defend civil rights protesters. Beatrice forms an international pacifist organization which defends civilians from the effects of war and encourages peacemaking. | |

Forest Kingdom: The (nameless) Last of His Kind dragon that Rupert is sent to slay in Blue Moon Rising turns out to be a polite, inoffensive retiree who hasn't set anything on fire in centuries, and collects butterflies rather than gold. He befriends Rupert and Julia, escorting them through the Darkwood at grave risk, and ultimately transports the party that confronts the Demon Prince, standing with the heroes despite knowing that the fall of the demons' ruler will also mean The Magic Goes Away and his own days will be ended. | |

World of Warcraft usually has serious godlike or demonic dragons, but a few are more silly. In particular, the Bronze Dragonflight is most likely to be played for laughs due to hanging out in an Eldritch Location between time. Except for in the Bad Future where they become the Infinite Dragonflight. Chronormu is the ambassador of the bronze dragons. Though she's actually quite smart, she always has her head poking into different timelines, giving her a Ditzy Genius personality. She also usually prefers to remain shapeshifted as a gnome named Chromie, making her come off as even more quirky. Faerie dragons (while not actual dragons in lore) are usually depicted this way. They're adorable nature spirits who want to share magic and be your friend. Then again, they're a major case of Beware the Nice Ones, since they don't really understand mortal rules and have been known to eat people they don't like. Alexstrasza the Life-Binder is a massive dragon of fire and her flames give life rather than death by burning poison and evil. It helps that she's an All-Loving Hero and a benevolent counterpart to her villainous brother, Deathwing. |

Koryu from Inuyasha is a small red Chinese dragon. He only appears in one episode. All of his attacks on Inuyasha and his friends are basically little more than pranks. In one scene, he attacks Kagome by throwing lightning bolts at her, but his attack is so weak it does almost no damage. Along with Ah-Uhn, he is just one of two dragon yokai in anime that are benign. | |

In How to Train Your Dragon, it was the general consensus that every dragon species was considered "extremely dangerous; kill on sight" from the smallest Terrible Terror to the most ferocious Monstrous Nightmare (with the exception of Night Furies, the Book of Dragons instructing one to "hide and pray it does not find you" should you encounter it). But as Hiccup was quick to discover, most species of dragons are actually just animals with a capacity of intelligence and compassion and only defend themselves from weapon-wielding humans that hope to either exterminate or exploit them and in the case of Helheim's Gate, a giant chief dragon that would eat them should they not bring it tributes. By the end of the first film, he has taught the rest of his village this and soon enough Berk has made peace with dragon-kind. | |

Dungeons & Dragons has a longstanding tradition of dragons being Color-Coded for Your Convenience in terms of good vs. evil. The "chromatic" dragons - Red, White, Blue, Black, and Green - are bastards, one and all, but the "metallic" dragons - Gold, Silver, Brass, Bronze, and Copper - are good-aligned. Brass Dragons (Chaotic Good) are relentlessly chatty and potentially kind of annoying, but also extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Bronze Dragons (Lawful Good) are friendly coastal residents, always ready to throw down against evil. Copper Dragons (Chaotic Good) are fun-loving, good-natured pranksters who love stories, jokes, and riddles. Gold Dragons (Lawful Good) are majestic stoics, the reclusive hermit gurus of dragonkind. Silver Dragons (Lawful Good) are friendly, virtuous creatures who see themselves as the protectors of the humanoid races. Then there is Bahamut (Lawful Good) the Platinum Dragon god of Justice who may be stern and unrelenting in his pursuit of the evil and unjust but unequivocally a good guy who was typically very compassionate (preferring to Polymorph enemies rather than kill them) and who fights against his evil sister Tiamat. |

Pokémon Red and Blue. The original Dragon type Pokémon: Dratini, Dragonair, and Dragonite from the first generation. All of them are as cute as a button (well, Dragonair is more beautiful), and Dragonite is known for helping humans drowning or lost at sea. That said, it's also the first pseudo-legendary Pokemon and shouldn't be angered. | |

Wings of Fire: Zigzagged, dragons are portrayed simply as people, with all the varied personalities that implies. That said, most of the protagonists and many of their allies qualify for this trope, being generally friendly and kind-hearted people. | |

Beau from Dragon Booster is a heroic Gold-star dragon of legend who, along with his rider Artha, participates in high-speed races and is tasked with preventing war from breaking out between dragons and humans. Beau is extremely loyal and enjoys having a good laugh (sometimes at Artha's expense) with the rest of their racing crew. | |

Azymondias aka Zym from The Dragon Prince is a baby dragon. Cheerful and playful, he loves to cuddle with his human friends. His mother is also very nice and friendly to people, although of course much more mature mentally and much larger physically. Totally inverted with Sol Regem. He is a vicious and very dangerous dragon who hates humans more than anything. In one scene he even threatened to kill the elf Rayla and the young dragon Azymondias because they are friends with a human (Callum). |

Pokémon has several Dragon type Pokémon that look more like giant plushies than some of the other Dragon types: Pokémon Red and Blue. The original Dragon type Pokémon: Dratini, Dragonair, and Dragonite from the first generation. All of them are as cute as a button (well, Dragonair is more beautiful), and Dragonite is known for helping humans drowning or lost at sea. That said, it's also the first pseudo-legendary Pokemon and shouldn't be angered. Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Altaria is an odd example. It's a part Dragon-type for some inexplicable reason, but it's a large, gentle fluffy bird with cloud wings and no visibly draconic features, and sings in a beautiful soprano that makes you feel like you're in a dream. Its Pokédex talks about it hugging its trainer with said wings. In the remakes, it gains a Mega Evolution which makes it even fluffier and gains the Fairy type. Also, it looks humorously ridiculous when wet because those clouds "deflate". The eon twins, Latias and Latios, also certainly count. They have a basis that crosses between birds, dragons and jet planes, are capable of understanding humanity due to their telepathy, and both are often considered very docile creatures, preferring to flee rather than fight (in spite of their status as Olympus Mons). Most media portray Latias in particular as a very friendly Pokémon when one manages to gain her trust, whereas Latios leans closer to an Aloof Ally (but he nonetheless has a massive Big Brother Instinct towards Latias in most media). The two are also commonly summoned by humans they trust to serve as mounts, such as in Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Rayquaza is also friendly, but in an Aloof Ally way — it lives in the stratosphere, away from nearly all other living thingsnote Minior appears to be the only Pokémon it shares a habitat with and secretly protects Earth from threats from outer space. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Player Character helps Rayquaza defend Earth from Deoxys. While Pokémon Black and White's Haxorus is not an example, its pre-evolution Axew is downright adorable. Iris in the anime even lets hers ride in her hair! Pokémon X and Y introduced the Goomy line: Goomy, Sliggoo, and Goodra, Expies of the Dratini line of the first generation. All three of them remain cute through their evolutions, with Goodra being so friendly to its Trainer it loves to give them big hugs. Unfortunately, they're all covered in slime, and a hug from Goodra will get you slimed as well. Pokémon Legends: Arceus gives them an alternate form, Hisuian Sliggoo and Goodra; the latter is said to be incredibly affectionate and gets upset if its trainer ever leaves its side. Pokémon Sun and Moon has the Normal/Dragon Type Pokémon Drampa, a lovable grandfatherly type with great power; this Pokemon is known for growing attached to children, especially, and is known to have a sense of justice as a Bully Hunter, though perhaps a bit misguided, as their idea of retribution is to burn the bullies' homes to the ground. The box legendaries of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Koraidon and Miraidon, are intense-looking but friendly dragon-type Pokémon who bond to the player after they give them a sandwich, which helps them get their strength back after being severely wounded. They're incredibly sweet and loyal to the player — and Penny, much to her displeasure, since they show it by licking her face — and when socializing with them during picnics, they show themselves to be expressive and playful, with mannerisms and body language much akin to cats. |

Dot helps him overcome his fear of the dark by revealing that she's afraid of the dark as well, and she reunites him with his friends. In a later episode, "Puppy For a Day", Dot helps the babies search for Rizzo, who pretends to be a puppy to teach them about responsibility, when he goes missing. | |

In the Gummi Bears episode "Someday My Prints will Come", Tummi finds a mechanical decoy that makes dragon footprints, and when he bounces across the kingdom of Dunwyn with it, he lures a dragon out of her cave. She turns out to be the friendliest dragon in the kingdom, in contrast to the stereotype. The Gummi Bears befriend her and defend her from the knights of Dunwyn, who think the footprints that were made by the decoy were made by a real dragon. | |

Several dragons in Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid are friendlier towards humans than what's normal for their species: Lucoa, as a former goddess of agriculture and wisdom, tends to treat almost everyone as if she was their laid-back Cool Big Sis. Her complete lack of racism towards humans makes quite a bit of sense given The Reveal in Mononoke Sharing that she helped create humanity in the first place. Ilulu, both before her Start of Darkness and after her Heel–Face Turn, has an established love of humanity, particularly when it comes to young children. Elma is a Token Heroic Orc among the harmony faction who refuses to accept Human Sacrifices. While she does have the rare moment of looking down on humans, she views it as her duty to lead them to peace and prosperity. |

The Beginning After the End: Sylvie, Arthur's bond, is a friendly and innocent dragon. She is basically the surrogate daughter of Arthur (and by extension Tessia) they were both present when she first hatched (which gets all the more apparent once she gets the ability to assume human form). However, in spite of her soft exterior she is more than willing to step in and defend her loved ones if the need arises, even going so far as to perform a Heroic Sacrifice to save Arthur at a crucial moment point in the story). Her mother Sylvia also counts as not only did she save and nurture a young Arthur like a doting grandmother after he was separated from his family due to a bandit ambush, but she also ended up sacrificing herself to save him from agents of the Vritra (though not before bequeathing him the egg that contained the unborn Sylvie to him). Both are of the Indrath Clan of dragons, the rulers of the Asuras, with Sylvia being the daughter of the clan's leader and the Top God of the setting Kezess. After The Reveal that Kezess and the dragons were responsible for committing genocide upon the ancient Djinn, an action which led to the Divine Conflict that drives the story, both Sylvia and Sylvie come off as the sole good dragons in the setting, especially since Sylvia not only set Arthur on his journey but also posthumously informed him the truth about why the war started in the first place when the rest of her kind wanted to cover it up. After being revived by Arthur and coming to terms with how the war has turned out, Sylvie reaffirms that she stands with Arthur and his homeland. Even though Kezess and the Indrath are her relatives, if they are willing to cause harm to Arthur and his loved ones then she is willing to stand against them in the end. It is clear that Sylvie not only inherited her mother's selflessness, but thanks to the nurturing influence of Arthur away from the manipulations of the Indrath has turned out to become a better person than the rest of her kind. |

Dragons in The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob! are a race of Ultra Terrestrials who left Earth for outer space centuries ago, to avoid coming into violent conflict with humans. While certainly powerful enough to be destructive, and rather disdainful of humans, most of the dragons we've seen are nice once you get to know them. They prefer to live as "rustic philosophers" out in the wilderness. Hibachi in particular is a Nice Guy and a good friend to the main characters. | |

Drake from Dragonheart: A New Beginning while similar in appearance to his father Draco he is a lot more childlike and wide-eyed. | |

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Altaria is an odd example. It's a part Dragon-type for some inexplicable reason, but it's a large, gentle fluffy bird with cloud wings and no visibly draconic features, and sings in a beautiful soprano that makes you feel like you're in a dream. Its Pokédex talks about it hugging its trainer with said wings. In the remakes, it gains a Mega Evolution which makes it even fluffier and gains the Fairy type. Also, it looks humorously ridiculous when wet because those clouds "deflate". The eon twins, Latias and Latios, also certainly count. They have a basis that crosses between birds, dragons and jet planes, are capable of understanding humanity due to their telepathy, and both are often considered very docile creatures, preferring to flee rather than fight (in spite of their status as Olympus Mons). Most media portray Latias in particular as a very friendly Pokémon when one manages to gain her trust, whereas Latios leans closer to an Aloof Ally (but he nonetheless has a massive Big Brother Instinct towards Latias in most media). The two are also commonly summoned by humans they trust to serve as mounts, such as in Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Rayquaza is also friendly, but in an Aloof Ally way — it lives in the stratosphere, away from nearly all other living thingsnote Minior appears to be the only Pokémon it shares a habitat with and secretly protects Earth from threats from outer space. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Player Character helps Rayquaza defend Earth from Deoxys. |

Wander over Yonder has King Draykor from "The Hero," an anthropomorphic dragon king. He is initially set up to be a typical, princess-kidnapping fantasy villain, but it turns out that he's Good All Along, and he and the princess are actually a happy couple. Brad Starlight, the supposed Knight in Shining Armor who wants to "save" the princess from Draykor, is the real villain. | |

Dragon Rider: The main Dragon character Firedrake, while he can be fearsome when protecting his friends he and his species overall peaceful and awe-inspiring creatures which is contrasted with the novel’s antagonist Nettlebrand, an evil wingless Golden dragon created by an alchemist, the silver dragons are magical creatures that are generally pacifists and don’t even require eating animals or plants to survive, only moonlight. | |

In The Neverending Story, Falkor, much like his literary counterpart, is a friendly, optimistic dragon who, in this film, is literally introduced as a Deus ex Machina who not only saves Atreyu in his Darkest Hour but also takes him nearly the entire way of an incredibly long journey just because. This version also has a head that resembles a dog, for extra friendliness points. | |

Pokémon X and Y introduced the Goomy line: Goomy, Sliggoo, and Goodra, Expies of the Dratini line of the first generation. All three of them remain cute through their evolutions, with Goodra being so friendly to its Trainer it loves to give them big hugs. Unfortunately, they're all covered in slime, and a hug from Goodra will get you slimed as well. Pokémon Legends: Arceus gives them an alternate form, Hisuian Sliggoo and Goodra; the latter is said to be incredibly affectionate and gets upset if its trainer ever leaves its side. | |
