Dragon Rider	comment	Let's face it: you can't get much more badass than a Dragon. They're huge. They fly. They breathe fire. They have weapons sticking out of nearly every part of their body. They're really, really smart. They're brutal and merciless in battle. They live for eternity, or at least a few thousand years, during which they only get stronger. They wield magic. Their tough scales make them both pretty and pretty Immune to Bullets. (Well, it really depends.) As the most well-known mythological beast, dragons have always been treated like nuclear bombs in times of swords and wooden shields — a quintessential incarnation of prestige, as well as terror. Somewhere along the line (1967, to be exact), somebody got the idea that maybe these vicious, bloodthirsty beasts don't have to be so evil after all. Maybe underneath all those fangs and claws, they're just gentle, misunderstood creatures who might just be willing to fight on the side of the good guys if you're lucky. In fact, maybe they're just looking for a friend. Thenceforth, there came the idea of a Dragon Rider, a human (or humanoid) who is so mightily goddamn badass he can ride on the back of these beasts, often as a steed into battle. The concept exploded and gained popularity among fantasy authors, and now can be seen just about everywhere in modern fantasy literature and games. Dragon riders are usually characterized by a bond with the beast they ride which results in a synchronous relationship between the two, a telepathic link, and no possibility that the two could ever be separated from each other without drastic consequences. They'd better get used to each other's company — they're stuck together for life! The plausibility of this trope depends on how intelligent the dragons are in this setting as well as what exactly the rider brings to the table. In some cases, the human might fill some gap in the dragon's own abilities. If the dragon is just a particularly awesome, non-sapient animal, then the relationship is more comparable to that of a horse and rider. If the dragon lacks access to powerful or diverse magic, it might benefit from having a wizard on its back. However, most dragons are so all-around awesome that the human comes across as redundant. That legendary magic sword of yours isn't going to do much good up there either unless it's really really big, in which case the dragon himself might use it. In the case of a sapient dragon, it might be letting the human ride on its back not so much because it needs their help in combat, but just because the dragon and human are friends. Much to the chagrin of some fans of old fashioned dragon lore, even the more intelligent dragons are usually subservient to their riders (or at least seem to be/are treated as though they are). This trope will keep coming back because dragons are cool and a dragon you can fly on is cooler. May sometimes be called wyverns, a different dragon-like mythical creature. Most stories that have both depict wyverns as being smaller and less intelligent (often non-sapient) compared to "true dragons", explaining why they're able to be tamed and ridden by humans. Compare Dragon Knight, Giant Flyer, Beast of Battle, and Horse of a Different Color. Contrast Shoulder-Sized Dragon, a dragon that rides you! Not to be confused with the former name of the manned version of the SpaceX Dragon capsule (now called Dragon 2), or with Interspecies Romance. Dragon Riders are often also Dragon Tamers since their line of work often involves training their mounts.

They do ride one at one point, mostly by setting it free from where it was trapped and desperately hanging on as it flies off, but it was very old and blind and in very poor health, meaning that the possibility of crashing and dying was a greater worry for the would-be riders than that of being eaten.

It's possible to make a dragon by carving it out of a special stone and then placing your essence into it, basically becoming the dragon. One dragon-maker tried to dodge this by making her carving that of a girl on a dragon and putting herself only into the girl. It didn't work, and the result is a chimera with the girl as just another part of the whole dragon.

Noble Dragons on the Disc are a semi-imaginary species who can only exist in strong magical fields, such as the one surrounding the Wyrmberg. The deceased leader of the dragonriders says that the wimpy dragons summoned by his children are due to their lack of imagination, and congratulates Twoflower on creating a dragon almost as impressive as his own. Unfortunately, Twoflower then rides it away from the Wyrmberg, whereupon it disappears again.

Stormcast cavalry rides on wingless draconic beasts such as Dracoths and Dracolines, while the greatest of the ride the mighty, winged and intelligent Stardrakes into battle. In 3rd Edition, they form an alliance with the Draconith, a nearly-extinct species of intelligent dragons, who agree to serve as their mounts in exchange for help in rebuilding their civilization. It is considered a great test of an Ironjawz strength and bravery for them to defeat and "tame" a Maw-krusha, great wyvern-like creatures that are even more destructive and have a worse temperament than the Orruks themselves.

Dragon Rider / int_2ffcbd43	comment	Fire Emblem: Dragon Riders are a recurring class. They're soldiers who ride non-fire-breathing dragons (referred to in Japanese as hiryuunote "flying dragon"), usually only coming from a single country on the continent in question, and unlike most examples of this trope, they're generally very common in the enemy ranks. In most canons it's not specified where these dragons come from; the Archanea canon is the exception, stating that they're degenerated descendants of the Manakete tribes. Their appearance and build is inconsistent throughout the series: they had only two legs in the first three games, became quadrupeds through the SNES and GBA eras, became vaguely bipedal (with the front legs not touching the ground) in Path of Radiance, returned to full quadruped status for Radiant Dawn and the DS titles, and then returned to their original two-legged status in Fire Emblem: Awakening and onwards. The naming for the class and creatures is quite the convoluted headache outside of Japan. For Blazing Sword, the first English release, they were renamed "Wyvern Riders" to distinguish them from the proper dragons which figured heavily into the plot of the game; Sacred Stones and Path of Radiance stuck to this. The Japanese version of The Sacred Stones introduced the "Wyvern Knight" class, whose wyverns were ostensibly separate from the hiryuu of the Dragon Rider class and looked more like a traditional wyvern; they were still called "Wyvern Knights" in the English version and the matter of their physical difference wasn't addressed. Radiant Dawn's translation discarded the "wyvern" name for the classes themselves, going with variations of "Dracoknight"; however, in dialogue the species are still called wyverns, again to differentiate from the game's fairly important actual dragons. This remained the case for Shadow Dragon, the next release translated on the DS for the series. Fire Emblem Awakening reverted to the "wyvern" terminology entirely (as, once again, "actual" dragons feature prominently and are a very different sort of creature than the mounts). Ashnard from Path of Radiance should get special mention as, unlike the other examples in the series, he rides an actual intelligent dragon albeit heavily drugged and forcibly enslaved. Throughout the series, dragon riders have had a consistent presence, but aren't the most common playable class; indeed, most of them can only be obtained through recruiting them from the enemy. These are the playable or otherwise notable dragon rider characters from across the franchise: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, and their remakes: Minerva and Michalis (New Mystery of the Emblem only) start as one. Caeda, Est, Palla, and Catria can promote to this, because somehow pegasi become dragons (Macedon). Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War: Altena, Areone and Travant (Thracia). Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade: Zeiss, Melady, Gale and Narcian (Bern). Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade: Heath (pictured above) and Vaida (Bern again). Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones: Valter, Glen and Cormag (Grado) are this by default. Tana and Vanessa can become this if promoted to the Wyvern Knight class (because again, somehow pegasi become dragons). Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn: Jill and Haar (Daein) are playable in both games. In Path of Radiance, Shiharam and Ashnard can be unlocked to use on the bonus Trial Maps. Fire Emblem: Awakening: Cherche and her son Gerome primarily (who thanks to Time Travel actually ride the same dragon), but thanks to the class change and marriage systems, there can potentially be well over a dozen characters capable of using this class. Also notable for the fact that Manaketes Nowi and Tiki are capable of using it, which would make them dragons (in human form) riding dragons. Fire Emblem Fates: Camilla and her retainer Beruka, as well as Arthur's son Percy (Nohr). Uniquely for the franchise, one possible promotion for the Wyvern Rider class gets to ride undead dragons. TearRing Saga: Similar to the Archanea games before, Pegasi become Wyverns with Sasha, Mahter, Frau and Verna promoting to them and Raffin, a horseback character, being able to do do as well. The nation of Canaan also uses Dragon Riders, an alternate 1st-tier class with Prince Julius being a commander of them. Berwick Saga: Wyvern Riders represent the air units in this game in which they use spears, swords and shields. In this game however, they can move past enemy land units who can do the reverse as well. Additionally, they cannot be initiated upon by land unit melee attacks, limiting their enemy phase potential somewhat while highlighting their movement utility. Fire Emblem: Three Houses: Anyone who receives the necessary training can class into the Wyvern Rider class, but of those who do so in the story itself that goes to Claude, Cyril and Seteth, who ironically enough is actually a Child of the Goddess stuck in his human form, making him a dragon riding dragons. Characters that the game indicates can canonically do so due to retaining their unique clothing choices include Petra. The nation of Almyra noticeably employs Wyvern Riders into their armies, most notably the general Nader, which makes it fitting that Cyril and Claude do so themselves since they have Almyran ancestry. It's also worth noting that despite appearing to be fearsome and dangerous creatures, the dragons themselves never actually attack, leaving everything to their rider (the one exception being the Malig Knight's "Deadly Breath" skill, which inflicts Area of Effect damage after each attack). Compared to their 'sister' flying mount class, the Pegasus Knights, dragon riders have different stat distribution, providing greater HP, Attack and Defense compared to the Speed, Skill and Resistance afforded by pegasus knights, probably because they're bulkier creatures with more weight to throw around. Having mounts able to attack on their own would probably screw up the game balance.

They have a lot of abilities superior to human ones, which one host, Jack, notes with some discomfort — they're very strong and fast, can leap far, see differently, and have strong retractile claws that let them cut through metal — but they need to rest against a host's skin every six hours or they die. One of them notes that his kind make for good companions, servants, and friends to humanoids, they cannot be the masters. Also, if they've been with a human long enough, then they have telepathy with said human while riding him or her. K'da are also on the small side, explicitly unable to carry their human partners on their backs, though Draycos is able to climb trees and cliffs while Jack clings to his tail and is dragged up.

They do ride one at one point, mostly by setting it free from where it was trapped and desperately hanging on as it flies off, but it was very old and blind and in very poor health, meaning that the possibility of crashing and dying was a greater worry for the would-be riders than that of being eaten.

After a few optional quests, the two can agree to be rider and steed, and a conversation with another dragon implies that such an arrangement, usually lifelong for the rider, can be seen by the dragons as the equivalent of going outside to play. Players can also capture a wyvern to use as a mount, though they tend to make weak mounts (Despite being a pain to fight against).

Dragon Rider / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft features several types of dragon that can be acquired as mounts. Normally they can't do anything that would make a dragon preferable to any other flying creature (although it does look cool to fly around on a dragon). Some expansions offers short quests in which players can commandeer a more badass dragon — raining down fireballs and even swallowing enemies whole in some cases. There's also Rend Blackhand, a dragon-riding boss. In all their incarnations and regardless of whom they work for, training and riding dragons is the Dragonmaw Clan's orcish hat. They use a different category of dragon in each incarnation. During the Second War (Warcraft II), as part of the Old Horde they bent red dragons to their service by imprisoning their matriarch Alexstrasza the Dragon Queen. She eventually broke free (as sealed objects in cans are wont to do) and crippled the clan during a vengeful rampage. As fel orcs of Kargath Bladefist's Fel Horde, they try the same trick with the Netherwing dragons of Outland, and their activities have encouraged a deep distrust of mortals among the Netherwing as a result. The Netherwing faction storyline involves ingratiating yourself with the Dragonmaw while releasing the Netherwing broodmother and sabotating their other operations. By the end you've all but disgraced the Dragonmaw in Illidan's eyes, but that's not the end of the Dragonmaw... In Cataclysm, the Dragonmaw are shown to be under the unwanted rule of Mor'ghor, a fel orc who ran the nether dragon-breeding operation back on Outland and now lords over the untainted Azerothian clan with an iron fist. Before and after his insurrection the Dragonmaw used and still use the same Artifact of Doom, the Demon Soul, that they enslaved the red dragons with. This time, however, they enslave black dragons, who are considered more punchibg bags, and catch their drakes in the wild to not repeat the mistake of the groups who came before them. By the end of Mists of Pandaria, the Dragonmaw have turned to the use of black proto-dragons, the dragon equivalent of cavemen, as the black dragons have been all but eliminated from the face of Azeroth. With Garrosh's defeat, they appear to have stopped this policy. In the Warcraft novel War Crimes, the Dragonmaw form an alliance with the Infinite dragons, and use them as voluntary mounts rather than enslaving them. The Order of the Cloud Serpent (Mists of Pandaria) is an entire organization of Pandaren who ride on Cloud Serpents, Pandaria's equivalent of Asian dragons. Reaching Exalted reputation with them is necessary for you to be able to do the same, even if you have maximum flying skill. The intelligence of Cloud Serpents in comparison to other dragons is variable, as only supernatural ones like Tsulong or Yu-Lon are shown talking, but they're at least implied to be as intelligent as humans even if they can't speak. A special item made by the alchemy profession since Cataclysm can be used to turn the player character into a rideable dragon. The Dragonflight expansion added the new Dragonriding mechanic, allowing players to choose from several customisable dragons to navigate the Dragon Isles. It has a bit more of a physics engine than a typical flying mount, requiring players to account for things like momentum, winds and how tired their dragon is before they can get to a particular spot, but can reach much higher speeds with the right technique and winds hopping. The more the player achieves in the game (through raiding, Mythic+ dungeons and so on) the more appearance customisations become available for the rideable dragons.

Toothless needs a rider to operate the stabilizer prosthetic which lets him fly. He's something like a draconic version of a proto-human: he demonstrates extremely high levels of "people smarts", eventually comes to understand Hiccup's speech to a great extent, and is capable of abstract reasoning and problem-solving — when the other dragons are battling the Vikings, Toothless is attacking the catapults. By the third film, he's reached the point where he can recognize and eventually create artistic depictions of himself and others. The other named dragons, Stormfly, Meatlug, Hookfang, and Barf and Belch, are ridden by Hiccup's first students.

Dragons-as-mounts are usually portrayed as noble steeds, sometimes intelligent and sometimes not, and have become popular on the basis that dragons are awesome and, ergo, riding one makes you awesome as well. A telepathic link between rider and dragon isn't obligatory, per se, but it's common. Dragons as steeds for villains, however, go back a bit further, at least as far as Tolkien having the NazgÃ»l riding dragon-like fell beasts.

The title character has a Chinese-style dragon as a Contract Beast and can summon it to perform either of his two finishing moves known as Final Vents, one for his normal form, and another for his Survive form. However, the Rider usually refers to riding motorcycles, which is why, for Survive's Final Vent, the dragon transforms into a motorcycle, lets Ryuki hop on and spits fireballs at the enemies before ramming them. In addition, though Ryuki can be and WAS translated as Dragon Knight, it can also be read as Dragon Rider depending on the kanji, a helpful pun that transfers over to his first Finishing Move, the Dragon Rider Kick.

Riding them is still commonplace even today, but only for recreational purposes, as the use of dragonettes in war was slowly replaced by aircraft. Additionally, there's a shoulder-sized variant called the "messenger" or "courier" dragonette, which is depicted as the draconic equivalent to an Instant Messenger Pigeon.

Dragon Rider / int_66abe7c6	comment	Fate Series: Fate/stay night: Subverted. You'd think that the Servant Rider would be able to ride dragons, but even at a Rank A+ of the Riding ability (allowing her to "ride" almost anything with expert skill, from ordinary horses to modern motor vehicles to most mythical beasts), she is unable to ride dragons. Fate/Grand Order: It clarifies that normally, a high rank in Riding alone is not enough to ride a dragon. It requires either additional skills or special link to a specific dragon. Thus, while dragon riding is beyond most Rider-class Servants, there are a handful who can be summoned that do have the ability. Saint Martha is able to ride the non-sapient dragon Tarasque, because her taming it was part of the legend that allowed her to become a Heroic Spirit. Quetzalcoatl can ride dragons because she's a dragon god herself. And Sakamoto RyÅ�ma is able to ride the dragon spirit OryÅ� because in life he formed a contract with her (and also married her). Not every Heroic Spirit with the Dragon Riding skill is automatically a Rider-class Servant (most have more than one class that they can qualify for), but it'll probably be their most suitable class. Jeanne Alter is an Avenger and has no Riding skill, but her Rank EX skill Dragon Witch allows her to control all dragons, allowing her to use Fafnir as a mount.

Dragon Rider / int_68237790	comment	Pathfinder: Dragonkin are truck-sized dragons that come in the full range of chromatic and metallic colors (complete with breath weapon, but unlike true dragons no alignment restrictions) and can form a Psychic Link with a humanoid that can then ride them. They also have opposable thumbs, meaning they can wield giant-sized weapons in battle. Of course, they're only found on the planet of Triaxus, so players hoping to get one for themselves will have some hurdles to jump. The time period of Starfinder presents some new challenges to the dragonkin of Triaxus. Dragon riding isn't really an option in outer space, but their bond works just fine and makes bonded dragonkin/triaxan pairs excellent Star Fighter copilots. While true dragons rarely — or ever, in most cases — lower themselves to carrying humanoids on their backs, they can be forced to act as steeds under extraordinary circumstances such as the use an Orb of Dragonkind, which can magically dominate dragons. The Big Bad of the Giantslayer adventure path, the storm giant tyrant Volstus, is fought at the end of the adventure while riding on the back of a red dragon he has enslaved with one such Orb. Drakes, smaller and weaker cousins of true dragons who lack front legs, very rarely consent to bearing humanoid riders in flight. As drakes are normally proud, surly and foul-tempered creatures, such a bond is typically the end result of years spent winning the trust and cooperation of the drake in question. Paladins and cavaliers (a class focused on mounted combat) are both given archetypes focusing on riding drake companions.

Dragon Rider / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: There have been rules in various edition for riding dragons — the cover of the old Basic D&D's Master Player's Book from 1985 shows a majestic king, bearing a sword while riding a gold dragon into battle — but there's a number of complications involved. First is that dragons are sapient, intelligent, and proud beings that detest servitude, and raising one from a wyrmling until it grows large enough for a medium-sized character to ride can take decades, if not over a century. It's much easier, then, to form an alliance or partnership with a dragon of a compatible alignment, who will expect to be treated with respect and supplied with both a suitable lair and a treasure hoard. The second major issue is the mechanics involved, as not only does a would-be dragon rider have to be skilled enough to stay in the saddle during aerial maneuvers and combat, they have to find a way to actually fight from dragonback, which can be difficult while on top of a dragon of Huge size or larger. On the other hand, spellcasters can find that a dragon mount takes away much of the danger from being a Squishy Wizard in close combat, while support spellcasters like The Paladin can ride into battle and use their curative magic to keep their dragon ally in fighting form. This last point helps avoid the "redundancy" issue involving dragon riders, as while dragons are both physical and magical powerhouses, they can't always use their magic in the same turn they're making physical attacks, and tend to lack White Magic to heal themselves. Dragonlance justifies dragon-riding by making most dragonriders warlords, who on top of the obvious benefits enjoy an aerial view of the battlefield, the ability to rapidly redeploy to where they're needed, and a mount that can simultaneously impress friendly soldiers and terrify the enemy. Plus, the Greater Dragonlances can be used only on dragonback, and are the only weapons that can instantly kill a dragon. They won the Dragon Wars all by themselves. The piratical githyanki are noted to have an old pact with red dragons, who will occasionally deign to take them on as riders. How could one possibly augment the red dragon's general badassitude already? By adding Psychic Powers, that's how. The Draconomicon, a sourcebook dedicated entirely to dragons and associated subjects, has a number of options for characters who want to do this: The Dragonrider prestige class, though it doesn't treat dragons as particularly different from other mounts, does grant immunity to a dragon's frightful presence. Most of its abilities revolve around various tricks in aerial combat. Unfortunately, there's nothing about the class that helps a character actually get a dragon to ride and the suggestions earlier in the book are either the time-intensive sort that would have to be worked into the character's background or ridiculously expensive. Dragonnels are dragon relatives with ungulate legs, and about the same size as a large horse. They're fairly simpleminded as dragons go, and are very popular steeds for paladins and knights. Training one requires a fair amount of time, care and expertise, but a properly bonded one is a fierce, strong, flying mount that becomes intensely loyal to its master. Spiked felldrakes, a species of wingless, quadrupedal dragon-kin about the size of a horse, are sometimes ridden as mounts by high-level paladins and knights of good alignment. The Dragon Samurai prestige class also gets a special ability that makes them better at riding dragons, and another that makes them better at convincing a dragon to let them ride him. The 4th Edition Draconomicon: Metallic Dragons describes drakkensteeds, lesser relatives of true dragons that can tamed as mounts by strong-willed riders. Consequently, their eggs and young are worth more than their weight in gold. Drakewarden rangers, a subclass described in Fifth Edition's Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, take on a drake as their companion. This creature starts out as simply a small ally for combat, but at 7th level it grows wings and becomes large enough to ride. However, it's still too small to fly while carrying a humanoid on its back; that has to wait until a second growth spurt at 15th level. One particularly tongue-in-cheek build involves a (Small-sized) halfling paladin riding a Medium-sized baby dragon paladin riding a older Large dragon paladin riding an even older Huge dragon paladin all the way till you hit Colossal (the largest size class), resulting in a charge attack that involves insane amounts of damage. Drakes are roughly horse-sized draconic creatures that are fairly easy to domesticate if raised from a hatchling. In settings where drakes are common, so are drake riders. Subverted with wyverns, as flavor text details how attempts to raise them as mounts face one enormous obstacle: the wyvern's poisonous stinger, which is perfectly positioned to remove any annoyances that might try to hop on its back. Dragon Magazine #146 describes a miniature example of this trope in its entry on demon drakes, a particularly malicious branch of the faerie dragon family tree. They often ally with quicklings, which then ride their drake allies into battle; the twist is that quicklings are only a few inches high, and demon drakes around the size of a large hawk.

Played for laughs in that when Enrique first mounts Zak and Wheezie, he thinks he's going to ride them like a horse, not realizing that they can fly. This is not entirely unreasonable on Enrique's part, however, as the wings of dragons in Dragon Land are quite small, and they clearly rely on magic to power their flight as well.

The common flying mounts in Avatar are the ikran, or banshees. Bonding with one is seen as a rite of passage, and we see many Na'vi ride them (there are implications that most, if not all, Na'vi have a banshee partner). The grand-daddy of all of Avatar's winged beasts in named the Great Leonopteryx to humans, and Toruk by the Na'vi, which translates to "Last Shadow". Riding this creature (who looks even more dragon-like than the banshees) requires such badassery that Na'vi history records only five examples of someone doing it, and the previous Toruk Makto united the disparate Na'vi tribes at a time of great need. This becomes a main plot point towards the end of the movie, where the main character becomes the sixth person in history to bond to Toruk.

Dragon Rider / int_7e86f5f5	comment	Warhammer Fantasy Battle: Many high-level characters have the option of riding dragons into battle, with each race getting their own type of dragon mount. There is only one dragon available to the Empire, so only the Emperor gets to ride it. Undead generals can ride zombified or skeletal dragons, while Chaos lords sometimes take to the skies on horribly mutated two-headed dragons or, as in the case of Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord, squat and wingless toad dragons. Orcs have access to wyverns, which are more vicious but stupider and ignoble dragon offshoots, and Lizardmen generals instead get to ride T-Rexpies. In the game's background material, it is said that in past ages High Elf Dragon Princes used to regularly ride dragons into battle. In the time period that the game takes place in, however, those dragons that remain have entered a deep hibernation that takes exceptional effort to wake them from, forcing the Dragon Princes to ride purebred elven steeds clad in armor shaped to resemble draconic wings and spines. The kingdom of Caledor has a particularly close connection to the dragons, as the bulk of their population slumbers in the Dragonspine Mountains on its lands; ancient Caledorian songs are the only reliable means of rousing them, and the majority of modern dragonriders are Caledorians.

Dragon Rider / int_81f5d35d	comment	Kamen Rider: Kamen Rider Ryuki provides an interesting example. The title character has a Chinese-style dragon as a Contract Beast and can summon it to perform either of his two finishing moves known as Final Vents, one for his normal form, and another for his Survive form. However, the Rider usually refers to riding motorcycles, which is why, for Survive's Final Vent, the dragon transforms into a motorcycle, lets Ryuki hop on and spits fireballs at the enemies before ramming them. In addition, though Ryuki can be and WAS translated as Dragon Knight, it can also be read as Dragon Rider depending on the kanji, a helpful pun that transfers over to his first Finishing Move, the Dragon Rider Kick. And it's naturally extended to Kamen Rider Dragon Knight and their Evil Twins Ryuga and Onyx. (Except Ryuga/Onyx doesn't have Survive. Well, doesn't use it onscreen, at least, though what the Survive forms of all 13 Riders look like are All There in the Manual.) Kamen Rider Wizard has his own Western-style dragon that he can summon. The catch is that he needs to combine his motorcycle with it as a Restraining Bolt and ride it that way; otherwise it'll be at least as destructive as whatever he's trying to fight.

Dragon Rider / int_83bf844d	comment	Tales of Kolmar: Subverted in Song in the Silence. The humans are initially forbidden to cross into the dragon's territory, and killed on sight if they disobey. When a handful of humans eventually befriend the dragons, the dragons agree to be ridden for the sake of covering distance faster when emergencies come up. However, while it seems to work okay when the dragon is walking or running with a human just behind his or her head, flying like this makes for a very sore neck. The dragons have an easier time carrying humans in their hands while flying, but they have to keep the humans close to their scales to keep them from freezing, and landing while their forelegs are full is extremely difficult.

Dragon Rider / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: The Valyrians tamed and rode dragons; after Valyria's cataclysmic destruction, the only surviving dragonriders and dragons became the Targaryens and their mounts, who survived the Doom by having lived on a distant outpost. Dragons are immensely powerful beasts, especially at their huge adult sizes, but aren't sapient and need a very forceful riders to give them direction. A dragon and its rider form a strong bond, and dragons will not accept any rider but their current one, although they will be open to new riders once their old one dies. Forming this bond is potentially very dangerous, since if it doesn't take the dragon is likely to eat its would-be rider. The combination was potent enough that Valyria was able to spread unchallenged over most of of Essos, and Aegon the Conqueror took over most of the continent of Westeros simply because he had three of them at his disposal while his opponents had never even seen a dragon before. However, in the present-day time frame of the books (some 300 years after Aegon's landing), the dragons are extinct. At least until Danaerys Targaryen resurrects three seemingly-fossilized dragon eggs and begins planning an invasion of similar scope to her ancestors. However because the art of training a dragon has been lost, she has no idea how to do so. At the end of A Dance With Dragons she's finally managed to ride a dragon, although she hasn't yet mastered it. It should be noted that while having Valyrian ancestry is often touted as a prerequisite to become a dragon rider, the exact rules are unknown. Many bastard Targaryen/Velaryon candidates Rhaenyra Targaryen picked during the Dance of the Dragons ended up getting mortally injured or straight up roasted to death attempting to ride previously-claimed dragons. Conversely, Nettles, a lowborn woman with no Valyrian ancestry to speak of, tamed the wild dragon Sheepstealer with the Mundane Solution of feeding him his favorite food every day until he got used to her.

Later on, Richard, in exchange for saving that egg, is allowed to ride Scarlet for the rest of the book, and once more as a favor in the next book.

Dragon Rider / int_a4ff8e01	comment	Fate/Grand Order: It clarifies that normally, a high rank in Riding alone is not enough to ride a dragon. It requires either additional skills or special link to a specific dragon. Thus, while dragon riding is beyond most Rider-class Servants, there are a handful who can be summoned that do have the ability. Saint Martha is able to ride the non-sapient dragon Tarasque, because her taming it was part of the legend that allowed her to become a Heroic Spirit. Quetzalcoatl can ride dragons because she's a dragon god herself. And Sakamoto RyÅ�ma is able to ride the dragon spirit OryÅ� because in life he formed a contract with her (and also married her). Not every Heroic Spirit with the Dragon Riding skill is automatically a Rider-class Servant (most have more than one class that they can qualify for), but it'll probably be their most suitable class. Jeanne Alter is an Avenger and has no Riding skill, but her Rank EX skill Dragon Witch allows her to control all dragons, allowing her to use Fafnir as a mount.

The book makes it clear that it's really more of a case of Dragon Rides You. As it turns out, this is one case where the dragon is definitely not subservient to the master. In fact, the dragon would be deeply offended at the idea of any human "rider" being a master.

Dragon Rider / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: Some games make the Dragoon class fully-fledged Dragon Riders, although you rarely play as one. The most notable examples are... Final Fantasy II where dragoons got their names from riding specially raised dragons called Wyverns, which The Emperor saw as a threat to his flagship and poisoned them leaving the party to find the Last of His Kind. The dragon can even be called to use its Breath Weapon in battle by using it as an item. Final Fantasy V, had the Wind Drakes, one owned by Lenna called Hiryu that serves as aerial transport and a large part of her backstory and Character Development as well as and another one owned by Krile. Final Fantasy IX has Kuja who rides a pretty badass silver dragon. Ironic, considering that he himself is The Dragon to Garland and appropriately that particular dragon belongs to Garland and his dragon riding privileges do get revoked. Final Fantasy XIII: Bahamut transforms into a flying dragon when in Gestalt Mode, which Fang (a dragoon) can ride. In one scene Vanille and Fang use their weapons (a fishing rod and a spear, respectively) to basically lasso an dragon-like enemy monster to hitch a ride to the Big Bad. Final Fantasy XIV: There are two separate dragons obtainable as mounts, both a flying dragon and non-flying drake. It's implied that, in the distant past, man and dragon built a great civilization together. It implies the existence of this trope then, before the betrayal that shattered the civilization and started the war. It sees a revival at the end of the Heavensward storyline; with Ser Aymeric of Ishgard riding upon the back of a dragon he'd befriended prior to the final battle in the epilogue.

Dragon Rider / int_a8639b13	comment	Fablehaven: Mostly averted. Dragons are proud creatures who view humans as mice and would die of shame if they were ridden by one. Raxtus would let his human allies ride him if he could, but his back is far too spiky to carry a rider. He carries humans in his claws. He also lampshades the trope, saying that, if dragons relied solely on physics rather than using magic as support, they wouldn't get off the ground with or without a rider. It's eventually played straight in the final book, when Agad rides Camarat. According to Raxtus, this is only because the two are brothersnote in the books, wizards like Agad are dragons who chose to permanently become human in exchange for greater magical powers, and it's just this once.

When a dragon and a rider pair up their bond is forever, and Nihal is the only person who managed to tame a dragon who lost his rider. Most dragon riders in the series belong to a specific order of Dragon Knights based in the Land of the Sun. Both Nihal and Ido are part of this order and have partnered dragons, Oarf for Nihal and Vesa for Ido. A secondary order of Dragon Knights, technically a subset of the first but in practice a largely independent group, is based in the Land of the Sea and rides the smaller species of serpentine blue dragons found there. The Tyrant has at least four Black Dragon Knights serving him, including Dola, Deinoforo and the Creepy Twins Dameion and Sameion.

Dragon Rider / int_b1058237	comment	Temeraire features dragon riders in an Alternate History version of the Napoleonic Wars. In contrast to the usual single-rider form that this trope takes, the dragons are used as living military airplanes or airships, with crews of up to thirty men led by a captain. Extremely maneuverable and self-aware airships, with flamethrowers, water cannons, acid bombs or sonic generators (different dragon breeds have different military uses), in addition to whatever ordnance and rifles the crew is carrying — specialized sections of a dragon's crew include bombers for attacking targets on the ground and riflemen for strafing enemy dragons and crews. Of course, the fact that the dragons are treated as living weapons rather than actual people becomes a major issue from the second book onward. For instance, the dragons start demanding payment, work opportunities outside of the military, proper shelter, and the right to not take a captain. This also happens to be the European mindset toward dragons (although this may be limited to Britain's citizens and non-aerial military divisions). Later books in the series point out that dragons are well-respected and active members of society in China, and that many African tribes view dragons as the reincarnated spirits of their ancestors. As with many depictions of dragon riders in fiction, most dragons do have a strong bond with their captain, which wavers between a close friendship, a parent to their captain, and also their captain's child, a bond strong enough that the threat of harming a dragon's captain is commonly used against dragons to blackmail them into behaving. It's noted that dragon-captains rarely get married because it's hard dividing attention between a jealous dragon and a spouse. Unlike many fictional dragon-rider bonds, it's more like an animal imprint than anything magical or mystical, and some dragons have rejected their captains.

Dragon Rider / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: The Valyrians were an ancient civilization who built a massive empire by training dragons and riding them as living weapons of war. Following Valyria's downfall, Aegon "the Conqueror" Targaryen and his sister-wives Visenya and Rhaenys invaded and unified six of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. By cleverly using their dragons they were able to melt the castle of Harrenhal, burn 4,000 men at the Field of Fire, and offer little King Ronnel Arryn a dragonback ride. As descendants of the former Valyrian Freehold, they were the only family of dragonlords (those Valyrians who could actually tame and ride dragons) who survived, the beasts giving them a distinct edge in the conquest. Aegon's dragon was Balerion, "the Black Dread", and the biggest dragon ever known. He forged the Iron Throne by using Balerion's fire breath to melt and fuse the swords of his defeated enemies. In the books, Balerion's wingspan is said to have been so wide that entire towns fell under his shadow when he passed over. Aegon's son King Maegor Targaryen also rode his father's dragon after Aegon's death Queen Visenya rode Vhagar, the smallest of the original three Targaryen dragons. Yet according to a history read by Davos Seaworth centuries later, Vhagar was still large enough to swallow a horse whole. Queen Rhaenys' dragon was Meraxes, who died relatively early into the Targaryens' rule during an attempt to conquer Dorne (the only kingdom not conquered in the initial wave of invasion) Nearly 300 years later, Daenerys Targaryen aspires to live up to her ancestors' glory once her dragons are grown. Like Aegon and his queens, she does have three dragons - Drogon, Viserion, and Rhaegal - but at first lacks the two other riders she needs to use them to their full potential. This becomes more problematic than she anticipated, as the larger her dragons grow, the more difficult they are to keep under control. In the episode The Dance Of Dragons, she finally takes flight upon Drogon and becomes the first dragon rider in over a century. After being reunited with Drogon in Season 6, she's taken to using him as her primary mount, even riding him into combat to destroy the Masters' fleet besieging Meereen. In Season 7, The Night King becomes a rider after he kills Viserion and resurrects him as a wight. In Season 8, Jon Snow bonds with and is able to ride Rheagal. This is due to his at-the-time unknown Valyrian heritage- Daenerys' deceased brother Rhaegar is in fact Jon's biological father.

Although they haven't had any rules since the 2nd Edition of the game, they do still appear in the background material every now and again. The mjordhainn, a species of alien raiders native to Thusel Prime before their extermination by the White Scars, rode flying dragon-like creatures called tchorlau. Only War: The Orks assaulting Cuyavale have been attempting to tame the aggressive, predatory Drakons native to the planet. At least some have seen some success, and have been spotted riding one of the flying beasts as a form of aerial transport. Warhammer: Age of Sigmar: The Stormcast Eternals have a strong association with dragons due to the alliance between their god, Sigmar, and Dracothion, the ancestor of the Realms' dragons. Stormcast cavalry rides on wingless draconic beasts such as Dracoths and Dracolines, while the greatest of the ride the mighty, winged and intelligent Stardrakes into battle. In 3rd Edition, they form an alliance with the Draconith, a nearly-extinct species of intelligent dragons, who agree to serve as their mounts in exchange for help in rebuilding their civilization. It is considered a great test of an Ironjawz strength and bravery for them to defeat and "tame" a Maw-krusha, great wyvern-like creatures that are even more destructive and have a worse temperament than the Orruks themselves. The Champion of Khorne Vorgaroth rides on a daemonic dragon Skalok the Skull Host. Warhammer Fantasy Battle: Many high-level characters have the option of riding dragons into battle, with each race getting their own type of dragon mount. There is only one dragon available to the Empire, so only the Emperor gets to ride it. Undead generals can ride zombified or skeletal dragons, while Chaos lords sometimes take to the skies on horribly mutated two-headed dragons or, as in the case of Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord, squat and wingless toad dragons. Orcs have access to wyverns, which are more vicious but stupider and ignoble dragon offshoots, and Lizardmen generals instead get to ride T-Rexpies. In the game's background material, it is said that in past ages High Elf Dragon Princes used to regularly ride dragons into battle. In the time period that the game takes place in, however, those dragons that remain have entered a deep hibernation that takes exceptional effort to wake them from, forcing the Dragon Princes to ride purebred elven steeds clad in armor shaped to resemble draconic wings and spines. The kingdom of Caledor has a particularly close connection to the dragons, as the bulk of their population slumbers in the Dragonspine Mountains on its lands; ancient Caledorian songs are the only reliable means of rousing them, and the majority of modern dragonriders are Caledorians.

Earlier generations were often more humanoid and were able to fly, but life underground has made their wings vestigial and led to a decrease in their intelligence. Despite that they're still a fearsome mount and quite capable in combat.

Dragon Rider / int_c02ce5b4	comment	House of the Dragon: This prequel to Game of Thrones is set 170 years earlier, in an age when House Targaryen was at the peak of its power and possessed many dragons. As of the end of Season 1, the Targaryens and their allies are firmly split into two rival camps - the Blacks and the Greens - and civil war looms on the horizon. The dragons and their riders are as follows: Blacks Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen rides Syrax. Prince Daemon Targaryen rides Caraxes, and also tries to tame Vermithor so someone else can ride him. Princess Rhaenys Velaryon (nee Targaryen) rides Meleys. Laenor Velaryon - Rhaenyra's former husband - rode Seasmoke before his disappearance, leaving the dragon for someone else to claim. Prince Jacaerys Velaryon rides Vermax. Prince Lucerys Velaryon rides Arrax, but both were killed in the first real conflict between the two sides. Prince Joffrey Velaryon has bonded with Tyraxes, but is not shown riding him (possibly too young). Baela Targaryen rides Moondancer. Greens Prince Aemond Targaryen rides Vhagar, the only remaining dragon from Aegon's Conquest a century earlier, and the most gigantic living dragon at that. King Aegon II rides Sunfyre. Queen Helaena Targaryen rides Dreamfyre.

Gosei Sentai Dairanger and Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Season 2, though, invert it by having the Red Ranger's dragon mecha doing the riding (though after it changes into a humanoid Warrior Mode). Its mounts are an assault platform made by the other four Rangers' mecha and the Sixth Ranger's white tiger mecha. In the first season of Mighty Morphin (and therefore Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger), Tommy/Burai seemed more inclined to ride on the Dragonzord's head or control it remotely than use its actual cockpit.

Dragon Rider / int_c0f0713c	comment	Shatter the Sky: The Empire of Zefed has them, called Talons, the dragon guard. Earning the right to ride a dragon however is difficult. Only the Zefedi are given them. The Verran people had them originally before the Zefedi conquered them. However, they are still in the dragon mountains as dragons will die if taken away too far. Verrans are barred from work in the fortress housing the dragons and riders. All the Verrans despise it. Long ago, the Verrans had ridden dragons as well and even breathed fire too it's said. They were only defeated after a Zefedi emperor stole them, which explains their animus for this. The bond between a rider and dragon is reputedly unbreakable when raised up from a hatchling. Maren infiltrates where the dragons are raised to get one so she can become a dragon rider and go rescue her girlfriend, who has been taken captive by the emperor's servants. Different oils are used to control and train the dragons it's revealed, which Maren learns about. She eventually rides a dragon herself, through winning her trust instead of control with the oils. It turns out that the emperor is himself a dragon rider, riding the biggest one, named Vix the Ruiner. The Senatese, a people who he wants to conquer, also have (free) dragons whom they ride it's revealed, and defeated his own dragon riders through using them. Control over dragons is what makes the empire so powerful since no human soldiers can beat them. The dragon riders (called Talons) are thus the most elite soldiers the empire has.

The dragons in this series are small(ish), do not breathe fire, and are about as intelligent as the average apex predator. Dragons raised from the egg, so that they imprint on their riders, are capable of impressive feats at the direction of their humans, but raising a dragon this way requires time and extreme dedication. The wild-caught dragons are kept passive by being continuously drugged and live a rather miserable existence. Thus, the protagonists are the ones who go through the effort of raising their own dragons.

Ash has his Dragon-in-everything-but-official-type Charizard, most iconically ridden in the third movie during his pivotal battle against Entei. Later, as the party tries to escape the collapsing crystal fortress created by the Unown, Ash places Molly Hale on Charizardâ€™s back to help get her out quickly and safely. Later on, Ash acquired his own Dragonite and flies on it as well. Alain, Liza and Kiawe also ride on their Charizard. Lance has his Dragonite, which he rides in a couple of the games as well. PokÃ©mon: The First Movie: While not a Dragon-type pokemon, Gyarados can give any sea serpent a run for its money. Aside from our protagonists, Fergus is one of only three trainers to cross the raging sea to New Island, and he does so by riding Gyarados. Pokemon Hunter J had a Salamence, as did the magician Butler. Carlita had a Hydreigon in the 'Victini and Reshiram/Zekrom' movies.

Bonus points because apparently if a dragon lacks a rider they can't mate, and they can only properly bond with one person in their lifetime (and when one dies, the other dies with them), but they're ageless before that (claw?), so that's all right. A rather funny note is that that the dragon Ancaladar has no problem with his link Jermayan riding him, but repeatedly states "I am not a horse" if others try. He still agrees to ferry children though after being guilt-tripped into it.

Dragon Rider / int_e199d649	comment	Inheritance Cycle: Dragon riders were very important in the backstory, serving as an international peacekeeping force of sorts, but were almost entirely destroyed when one of the own decided to make himself king. Humans who become riders tend to look slightly elvish (perhaps because the spell that allows humans and elves to bond with dragons was cast by elves) after a while, and gain stronger-than-average magic power, making them decidedly less useless (especially since dragons in the cycle can't reliably use magic themselves, other than their innately magical abilities like breathing fire). Additionally, there is a lot of subtext that implies that, while dragons in the wild are incredibly intelligent, it is only the ones that bond with riders who have mastery over language and all the "civilized" attributes that entails, while the bonded riders gain a ferocity and battle prowess of the dragon's natural killer instincts. Originally, only elves could become riders; this ability was extended to humans as part of an ancient peace treaty. At the end of the series, this is further amended to include dwarves and urgals.

Dragonboys are not however dedicated riders, but attend the dragons (used to counter the bad guy's trolls and ogres) by doing things like camp chores, cooking and keeping their dragon's weapons and armor in fighting trim, as well as occasional fighting by standing behind their dragons under the tail and engaging any infantry who try to flank the dragon to hamstring them.

Dragon Rider / int_e6267766	comment	Star Wars Legends: Ancient Mandalorian warriors often rode into battle on the backs of four-legged, winged draconic aliens. In a darker take on this trope, these dragons weren't willing mounts, but a sapient species, the Basiliskans, that the Mandalorians defeated and enslaved; eventually, the brutality of their subjugation caused them to degenerate into simple beasts.

Dragon Rider / int_f1deabfa	comment	Dragon Rider is not as focused on this trope as one would expect. Although the main human character does in fact ride on the dragon's back, it's simply because this is the only way to transport him. Said dragon (Firedrake) is Walking the Earth, looking for a valley for the dragons to move to, and acquires the main human character as a Tagalong Kid, as he's a Heartwarming Orphan who Firedrake decides to help. However, it is stated that humans who bond with dragons and ride them do get some special powers, such as extended life and healing abilities, as they find out in a Pakistani village. Overall, though, this isn't too important to the plot. We learn more about why dragons sometimes need riders (whether humans or brownies) in the sequel, The Griffin's Feather. Although the silver dragons are usually gentle, they can go berserk if they see anyone mistreating someone they care about, and need a rider calming them down in order to behave rationally. Also, the silver dragons can usually only fly by moonlight, but in an emergency where they have to fly day and night, riders can feed them moonflowers to give them the strength to keep going.

Dragon Rider / int_f349915b	comment	Dragonlance justifies dragon-riding by making most dragonriders warlords, who on top of the obvious benefits enjoy an aerial view of the battlefield, the ability to rapidly redeploy to where they're needed, and a mount that can simultaneously impress friendly soldiers and terrify the enemy. Plus, the Greater Dragonlances can be used only on dragonback, and are the only weapons that can instantly kill a dragon. They won the Dragon Wars all by themselves.

Dragon Rider / int_f9742e61	comment	Dragonriders of Pern: The Trope Codifier. Dragons form a personal, psychic bond with their riders (whom they choose) when they hatch and commit suicide without exception when their riders die (although a nesting Queen will remain alive until the day her eggs hatch). This goes the other way to a slightly lesser extent — it's considered a rare exception when a rider survives losing his dragon, and most of the ones that do end up committing suicide anyway. Those that don't end up an Empty Shell, even if they do find something else to live for. In the backstory, the dragons were genetically engineered specifically for the purpose of serving as mounts. The colonists needed something to incinerate the Thread before it reached the ground and ate everything organic, and it so happened that Pern had a native species of small flying lizards whose caustic breath could destroy the Thread — once modified to be larger, these made very useful mounts.
