The Dragonslayer	comment	In modern fantasy fiction, killing a dragon is usually a job for an entire party of adventurers, or completely beyond most warriors' ability to harm. So how can the Dragonslayer do this themselves? Having a dragon-specific Weapon of X-Slaying and the strength to lift and wield it helps, but beyond incredible strength and skill, they must have knowledge. Dragons traditionally have a brace of classic weak spots — a missing scale, the eyes, and the mouth are particularly common — and knowing just where to hit the beast can be crucial. Dragons, especially in games, often have specific elemental alignments, and knowing how to properly exploit the Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors can also go a long way. So this is just a variant of the Hunter of Monsters, right? Well, no. The Hunter normally suffers the Achilles' Heel of Crippling Overspecialization, while the Dragonslayer still has a giant sword, which unlike a stake or silver daggers is very effective in battle. The Dragonslayer is often The Hero with a few dead dragons tacked on. But that's assuming the truth. Dragon slayers have a reputation for being Miles Gloriosus, to the point where even the real deal is viewed with skepticism. Perhaps the one rumored to be a dragon slayer isn't, and you instead need to look for his brother, or maybe sister. Or maybe their great-grandfather was one, but nobody in the family knows how to do it anymore. Due to the power and danger usually given to dragons in myth and fiction, the title of Dragonslayer itself can also be a highly respected and coveted one in-universe, as bearing it signifies personal victory over one of the most powerful and feared monsters around. In medieval legends, this role is often filled by heroic knights. Though in non-Abrahamic legends the role may be filled by a storm god instead. It is important to note that having killed one dragon does not necessarily make one a dragonslayer, just as having saved one person makes someone a hero but not The Hero. This is basically part of their job description, meaning they generally hunt dragons, plural. The other qualification, of course, is surviving the encounter. Not the person who gets rid of The Dragon, unless we're being literal here. Compare and contrast the Dragon Tamer, who works with dragons instead, though there's nothing stopping someone from being both.

The Dragonslayer / int_12fd8e7f	comment	In Destiny, there was an event known as the Great Ahamkara Hunt, in which the Guradians hunted down a species of dragons known as the Ahamkara. In this case, these "dragons" are dragons in a very loose sense, being Reality Warper Eldritch Abominations that resemble large wingless serpents with dozens of eyes, and who grant wishes and desires in exchange for knowledge and violent slaughter. In one case, this became a literal case of dragon-slaying, as Lord Saladin wished to fight a real dragon, and the Ahamkara granted that wish, turning into one. In Destiny 2, the player ends up slaying Riven, an Ahamkara, at the end of the "Last Wish" raid.

The Dragonslayer / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age, naturally, has plenty of opportunities for this: The Warden in Dragon Age: Origins fights and slays several dragons over the course of Origins and Awakening, including the game's Big Bad, a dragon-shaped Eldritch Abomination. Hawke in Dragon Age II faces the entire gamut, ranging from Drakelings to a High Dragon. In the Mark of the Assassin DLC, they're invited to take part in Duke Prosper's annual Wyvern hunt, winning a prize for being the first to slay an Alpha Wyvern. Near the end, Hawke gets into a fight with Duke Prosper, who, in addition to using a crossbow, rides into battle with his trained Wyvern, Leopold. Cassandra Pentaghast, in addition to being a member of the current royal family of Nevarra, descends from legendary Dragonslayers responsible for the near extinction of the entire species during the Steel Age. Pentaghast herself is no slouch, as seen in the Dawn of the Seeker film. Over the course of the film, Cassandra takes out a grand total of six, five of them in the same scene. The Inquisitor and their party (which can include Cassandra) can slay a total of ten dragons, plus Corypheus's red lyrium dragon.

They'd still have been stomped by a full-scale dragon assault if not for that one of their first moves was stealing the dragon leader's egg and threatening it if anything like that happened.

He started in the business after blaming a dragon (the one he's working with, unknown to him) for turning the king evil with the eponymous heart donation. He gives up the grudge after befriending said dragon and realizing that the heart only made the king immortal — the king was always evil. In the end, he has no choice but to act as a dragonslayer one last time to put an end to the villain once and for all. The villain's mother, the Queen Dowager, also hires dragonslayers to kill the last dragon, so her son will die with him.

The Dragonslayer / int_1f140feb	comment	The Silmarillion: TÃºrin Turambar slew the dragon Glaurung, father of dragons. Much as was the case with Sigurd and Fafnir (from whom Tolkien drew inspiration), TÃºrin killed Glaurung by finding a place where he knew the dragon would cross the River Taeglin, and stabbing him from below. Other characters have killed dragons, but TÃºrin is actually given the epithet "Glaurung's Bane" (dagnir glaurunga in an inscription on his tombstone), making him the prime example of this trope in the Legendarium. EÃ¤rendil slew Ancalagon the Black, greatest of all the dragons of Middle-earth, during the War of Wrath to end the First Age. Unlike many other examples, this was an aerial battle which EÃ¤rendil fought from his flying ship Vingilot, and Ancalagon's fall shattered the peaks of Thangorodrim. Additionally, Thorondor and his other Eagles supported the Hosts of the Valar by battling Morgoth's fleet of dragons in the air. However, EÃ¤rendil is better known for other feats, like sailing to Valinor and being the father of Elrond (and his twin, Aragorn's ancestor, Elros).

It is in fact an Animated Armor controlled by the Pilgrim Butterflies like a puppet. The real Ornstein wasn't even in Lothric Castle, he's finding the Nameless King, Gwyn's first-born son, in Archdragon's Peak. The Ashen One, just like their predecessors, also gets to slay their share. Wyverns show up occasionally throughout the game. One of the bosses is a human king whose obsession with Seath the Scaleless's knowledge mutated him into a grotesque dragon-like monster. The DLC once again has a true dragon to fight, and while this dragon may be the closest to a true dragon at its full strength, unlike its predecessors, it's also implied that the centuries fighting against the Abyss have corrupted and eaten away at it. It's still one of, if not the most difficult boss in the franchise.

That act set him on a course that eventually had him uniting all of Osten Ard, except that in reality, he found the dragon already dead by the hand of the old King (who was mortally wounded in that battle). Prester John always felt the guilt of claiming credit for that kill.

The Dragonslayer / int_291e9857	comment	The Dark Souls franchise: Dark Souls: Dragon Slayer Ornstein earned the first part of his title, fighting alongside Lord Gwyn against the Everlasting Dragons in the climactic battle that allowed humanity to rise and flourish. There's a collection of dragon heads mounted in the castle in Anor Londo that provides proof of his kills. The Chosen Undead also gets the chance to slay up to five different dragons over the course of the game, and six with the DLC installed. Eight, if the hydras are included. It should be noted, though, two of those dragons are rotting zombies, two were deformed and maddened over the centuries, and one is a much lesser (though still powerful) drake. The only true dragon you face is in the DLC, and it needs to be crippled by a giant's arrow before it can even be touched. Dark Souls II: There exists a boss called the Old Dragonslayer, who is heavily implied to be the very same Ornstein from the first game several hundred years later, having fallen prey to the same fate as his old comrade Artorias. Once again, the Bearer of the Curse continues the proud tradition of dragonslaying by going up against two different boss dragons over the course of the game, three with the DLC installed. Four, if you count the Old Iron King. Of these dragons though, one and its weaker brethern are actually wyverns rather than true dragons, while the other was actually artificially created. Like in the first game, the only true dragon you face is in the DLC, and it has been pierced through the chest with a spear and had part of its soul sucked away by an Eldritch Abomination for centuries and still manages to be one of the most powerful opponents in the game. Dark Souls III: The Dragonslayer Armour is a heavy armor resembling Dragonslayer Ornstein, equipped with a melted iron greataxe tailored for slaying archdragons and a greatshield resistant to lightning. It is in fact an Animated Armor controlled by the Pilgrim Butterflies like a puppet. The real Ornstein wasn't even in Lothric Castle, he's finding the Nameless King, Gwyn's first-born son, in Archdragon's Peak.

By the time the story takes place, almost all dragons have indeed been slain by Psypher wielders, and all five main heroes fight at least one of the remaining dragons during the course of the story while three end up slaying them. Specifically, Oswald kills Hindel and Wagner, Cornelius fatally injures Belial, and Gwendolyn tops everyone else by being the destined slayer of Leventhan, who by that point of the endgame grows so large his body could encircle the whole continent at least.

This is exactly the story we are presented with in the main series regarding how Anomander Rake and Silchas Ruin came to be draconic shapeshifters: namely by slaying Tiamat, the many-headed ur-dragon, and drinking her blood. This is yet another instance of this trilogy calling into question what had previously been established as fact in the main series, following the theme of Steven Erikson questioning how much we can truly trust what we know about history.

A character can take these hearts to a dragon-worshipper church, and eat them to gain some of the dragon's power. These constitute 1) either the dragon's signature Breath Weapon, which is more powerful but narrow gague and cannot be used from horseback, or 2) a less-powerful, wider-spread, and can-be-used-while-mounted generic version, plus 3) the spells Dragonmaw and Dragonclaw (conjure a biting dragon head or slashing dragon arm, respectively). Such people are known as "Dragon Communers" in-setting, and are said to mutate into wyrms (as evidenced by their use of greatswords fashioned from their own shed scales).

Dragonslaying is apparently a very important thing in his world, since it's how you get energist crystals for powering giant robots. It's also his rite of passage as the king of his small country.

Others can kill them, too (in fact, the Empire's Secret Police the Blades started out as dragonslayers), but this only kills their body, with their Aedric soul remaining intact. Their return from (near) extinction is revealed to have been not due to repopulating their numbers, but because Alduin's return allowed him to resurrect them from the burial mounds their remains were entombed in by the Ancient Nords.

Once again, the Bearer of the Curse continues the proud tradition of dragonslaying by going up against two different boss dragons over the course of the game, three with the DLC installed. Four, if you count the Old Iron King. Of these dragons though, one and its weaker brethern are actually wyverns rather than true dragons, while the other was actually artificially created. Like in the first game, the only true dragon you face is in the DLC, and it has been pierced through the chest with a spear and had part of its soul sucked away by an Eldritch Abomination for centuries and still manages to be one of the most powerful opponents in the game.

The Dragonslayer / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: Rangers who choose Dragon as their favored enemies. Of course, said rangers are encouraged to be very, very careful when working. The Council Of Wyrms campaign setting introduces the Dragon Slayer kit. Dragon Slayers are human beings specially trained to kill dragons. They are immune to dragon-caused fear, gain bonuses when attacking dragons, and have armor and weapons that are more effective against dragons. They are dedicated to the goal of eradicating dragonkind. The Draconomicon has much to say on the subject: It suggests that many of the dragons who become paladins end up as this — being paladins, they are driven to confront evil, and being dragons, they tend to think more of dragons, including how much of an evil the evil ones can be. They are also, of course, intimately familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of dragons... The Draconomicon also includes two Prestige Classes specialized for hunting dragons, the Dragonslayer and the Dragonstalker. The difference between the two is that Dragonslayers fight their prey in pitched combat, while Dragonstalkers track their targets for extended periods before killing them from ambush before the dragon even knows they're there.

While it's yet to live up to its name in a literal sense (the one fight against a dragonlike Apostle by the name of Grunbeld was a draw), it's certainly killed a vast number of slightly lesser foes, and if there ever was a man capable of killing a dragon, it's Guts.

The official protector of the Court is called the Dragon Slayer, but James Eglamore — the current Dragon Slayer — admits that it's a rather misleading title. Dragons are rare enough — if not outright extinct — that they don't require much slaying these days. Nevertheless, there's little doubt that Eglamore could take on a dragon if necessary: he defeats a Rogat Orjak (technically not a dragon, but very dragon-ish all the same) in an early chapter.

Thoroughly deconstructed as Galen may have the weapons — magical spear, dragonhide shield, and his mentor's powerful Amulet — but not the training to take on a monster. He himself cannot defeat the dread Vermithrax, but he does summon his mentor Ulrich Back from the Dead, who does fight the dragon in an epic duel. However, even the wizard can't kill the dragon himself; destroying his Soul Jar makes him explode while in the dragon's clutches, which was his plan from the start. It's also subverted in two different ways: First, at the end of the film, the corrupt King shows up, shoves a sword into the dragon's cooked corpse, and has himself declared "Dragon Slayer". Second, the spear itself is actually the titular Dragonslayer, as it's named by its maker Sicarius Draconumnote Latin for "Dragon Slayer".

Much of the game's story involves finding the dragonslayer, as the dragon he supposedly "slew" looks to be making a return. The truth is somewhat more complex, and Vauclair, as it turns out, is planning to up his game from one-time almost-slayer to "guy who single-handedly genocided the dragon race off the face of the Earth", a plan you're expected to try to prevent. Dieter is a Dragonslayer shaman and a punk rocker who has spent his life fighting racism and people who try to keep down Berlin's anarchists. He can occasionally be seen communing with his mentor about whom he should be picking a fight with next. His personal quest involves taking him to defeat a Berlin chapter of Humanis, a human supremacist group, who is attempting to douse Berlin in nerve toxins to kill off its non-human population. The end of the game can see the Berlin crew enter the dragonslaying club themselves by putting down Feuerschwinge for good, though at that point it is practically a Mercy Kill considering what Vauclair did to her. It says something that both Dieter and the Dragonslayer will support talking her out of suicide and letting her go instead, since both of them consider her the victimized party.

The Dragonslayer / int_9f89a5f0	comment	PokÃ©mon: PokÃ©mon X and Y adds the Fairy type to its Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors system specifically to counter the Dragon type, which had been getting too overpowered. Aside from being super effective against Dragon-types, Fairy-types are completely immune to Dragon-type moves. Prior to the Fairy type (and even afterwards), Ice-type PokÃ©mon and moves were the go-to strong choice against dragons (especially if they were part Flying). Beyond that, the only way to cause super-effective damage to a dragon is with another dragon (and that wouldn't come into play until the second generation games, as the only Dragon type move initially was the Fixed Damage Attack Dragon Rage). A few specific species are also known for their effectiveness against Dragon-types: Oddly, before the existence of the Fairy type, Porygon2 of all PokÃ©mon was the main go-to for dealing with dragons, possessing the ability to copy their abilities as well as withstand the amount of damage they deal, leaving surreal images of a two-foot-tall toy duck taking down a seven-meter-tall serpent. Sylveon was the first Fairy-type PokÃ©mon revealed and the face of the type when it was introduced. In fanart, it's often depicted as having a fierce and violent disposition against Dragon-types, at odds with its pink, frilly appearance. The Alolan variant of Ninetales is both an Ice- and Fairy-type. This makes it immune to and ridiculously strong against Dragon types.

The Dragonslayer / int_b962c879	comment	Fairy Tail has Dragon Slayer magic, which gives humans the physiology and powers of dragons, and is consequently the only technique capable of harming dragons. Ironically, the ones who taught mankind this technique in the first place were the dragons themselves, devised as a way to end a civil war against those who rejected peaceful coexistence with mankind. However, using this magic comes with the downside of turning the user into a dragon themselves, as was the case with Acnologia, the most bloodthirsty Dragon Slayer of all time, and the one who hunted dragons to near extinction. There are multiple "generations" of Dragon Slayers: 1st Generation: The original Dragon Slayers who were taught their magic directly by the dragons. As dragons are all but extinct now, very few of this generation can be created. 2nd Generation: Dragon Slayers who gained their magic by having dragon lacrima implanted into their bodies to give them access to the lacrima's element. These tend to be referred to as "fake" Dragon Slayers, and are still quite rare as these lacrima themselves are rare and thus very valuable. The sequel would reveal these specific lacrima are actually "processed" Dragon hearts. It's also possible, though rare, to implant multiple lacrima to gain multiple elements, as is the case with "Eight Dragon" God Serena, the top Wizard Saint of Ishgal. 3rd Generation: Dragon Slayers who have not only been taught by dragons, but also have the dragon lacrima implants. Some refer to this generation as the best of both worlds. 4th Generation: Debuting in Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry, these are Artificial Humans grown from dragon lacrima, and thus are The Needless who can fight as long as they are empowered by a source of magic. 5th Generation: Debuting in Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest, these Dragon Slayers gained their magic from devouring the flesh of dragons and other Dragon Slayers, hence their alternative name, "Dragon Eaters".

The Dragonslayer / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: Depending on the edition, the God-Emperor of Mankind was Saint George, though instead of killing the dragon, he imprisoned it on Mars. That dragon might very well be the Void Dragon, a C'tan (the C'tan are among the most powerful entities in existence, its brother the Nightbringer having imposed its image into nearly all races as death incarnate, aka the Grim Reaper). However, this may have bitten him in the ass, as the Void Dragon has power over machines, and it is more or less implied that the Adeptus Mechanicus' worship of the Omnissiah is strengthening the Void Dragon. The Primarch Ferrus Manus once wrestled a strange silver dragon and plunged it into magma. The dragon's living metal skin fused itself onto his arms, granting him the ability to forge things without tools. The similarities between the Emperor's and Ferrus's encounters implies that the dragon Ferrus defeated was a shard of the Void Dragon, and that the metal fused to his arms is Necron Necrodermis.

The Dragonslayer / int_bcb32dc6	comment	Shadowrun: There is an organization of dragon hunters that killed many dragons during the down cycle while they hibernated, and continues to kill them today. One of them, going by the name Dragonslayer, has posted many times on Shadowland with conspiracy theories about dragons. The Dragonslayer archetype is a totem for Shaman characters (or a mentor spirit in later editions). Dragonslayer shamans tend to be Boisterous Bruisers or Blood Knights on the lookout for a suitable "dragon" to slay, though the "dragon" can be metaphorical as long as it represents some kind of evil entity that threatens innocents. Above all, the Dragonslayer totem despises oath-breakers and liars (alongside giving up on your goal), and forces adherents to be true to their word once given.

The Dragonslayer / int_bd310eaa	comment	El Goonish Shive: When a dragon shows up, Noah proudly proclaims, "I will slay the dragon." It's clear that he would have easily been able to defeat it, except it's actually a summoned monster receiving an immense amount of power from an outside source, allowing it to heal from any injury. Magus was training to fight dragons and other monsters before he got trapped in the main world. The way he talks about it, it seems like magic and monsters are so common in his world that the job is more like being a firefighter than a mythical hero.

To really drive the point home, Dwarves are said to have 18 words for "killing a dragon".

The similarities between the Emperor's and Ferrus's encounters implies that the dragon Ferrus defeated was a shard of the Void Dragon, and that the metal fused to his arms is Necron Necrodermis. Warhammer Fantasy: Dwarf Slayers are dwarves who, to make up for some failure, become mohawked Death Seekers who look for the toughest monsters around so they can die a glorious death. Being dwarves, however, they're naturally quite good at killing the things, and so their failure becomes greater the more monsters they kill. They typically start as Troll Slayers, from there moving on to becoming Giant Slayers and eventually Dragon Slayers. Those who prove too tough for even dragons to kill then head into the Chaos Wastes as Daemon Slayers, and are never heard from again. Gotrek & Felix: The human poet Felix Jaeger, companion to the world's most infamous Slayer, possesses a sword that was enchanted for dragon slaying. The effect is that Felix, who usually approaches Cowardly Sidekick compared to Gotrek, will turn into The Berserker any time they have to face off against a dragon. Fortunately, the sword gives Felix a few buffs to help him survive. The Bretonnian Dukedom of Bastonne has produced more than its share of dragonslayers over its history. Gilles le Breton, Bretonnia's first king and himself a Duke of Bastonne, first rose to fame when he fought and killed the legendary dragon Smearghus, who had been ravaging the Bastonnian countryside. His descendant and current Duke, Bohemond Beastslayer, himself slew a dragon in his younger years and crafted his mace's shaft from its thighbone. The knight Jasperre le Beau, also called Jasperre the Dragonslayer, is particularly skilled at this; he killed the dragon Malgrimace while rescuing the king's daughter, and has since then killed many other dragons in addition to other monsters such as hydras, griffons, and hippogriffs. The vampire Abhorash, founder of the Blood Dragon order, encountered a dragon and fought it in single combat. After a full night of battle, he grappled it and drained it of its blood. Not only had he slain a dragon, but by consuming its blood Abhorash permanently quenched his blood thirst, freeing him eternally from ever needing to consume blood again. The Ogre tyrant Greasus Goldtooth gained the moniker "Drakecrush" by slaying the great Ice Drake Jaugrel.

There's a collection of dragon heads mounted in the castle in Anor Londo that provides proof of his kills. The Chosen Undead also gets the chance to slay up to five different dragons over the course of the game, and six with the DLC installed. Eight, if the hydras are included. It should be noted, though, two of those dragons are rotting zombies, two were deformed and maddened over the centuries, and one is a much lesser (though still powerful) drake. The only true dragon you face is in the DLC, and it needs to be crippled by a giant's arrow before it can even be touched.

As Gandalf and the Dwarves muse on what to do about Smaug to reclaim their treasure, it's discussed that there are no more heroes left capable of slaying such a beast, and that is what led Gandalf to direct them to Bilbo, and to reclaim their treasure by thievery instead. And then it's played much straighter with Bard the Bowman; when a riled and angry Smaug attacks Esgaroth, he slays him by loosing an arrow into the one vulnerable part on Smaug's entire body. As Bard's kill takes place during a battle though, he doesn't really become known for dragonslaying as such.
