Just about wings.

Welcome to watch Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 dragons from movies and TV.

Wouldn't help us For this list.

We're looking at the best dragons to grace both the big and small screens.

Let us know which dragon is your favorite in the comments below.

# 20.

The bull rain of fire.

Most dragons naturally stem from the fantasy genre but we're going to start things off a little differently.

Rain of Fire is a post apocalyptic film having one of the most unique and creative Armageddon one caused by dragons.

Thank you.

Okay yeah there's nothing mystical or magical about these beasts.

They just burn everything in their wake and are nearly impossible to kill the strongest.

A gigantic male dragon nicknamed the bull is the one to kick off the end times to begin with.

As expected the film's climax centers around taking down the bowl in order to ensure humanity's survival.

Number 19 the great protector shang chi and the legend of the 10 rings.

Now this is what you call a traditional dragon, magical benevolent and forever seeking to keep the peace.

Yeah yeah as its name would imply this entity protects the mystical land of Tallow most notably from the ancient evil known as the dweller in darkness after slumbering for centuries beneath the waters the great protector is awakened in order to fight its primal foe once more, acting as both a flying steed and platform to allow Shanxi.

The chance at landing the killing blow number 18 dragon the Shrek franchise like fairy tales of old in Shrek, a sleeping princess awaits the arrival of her true love in the tallest castle tower guarded by a fierce dragon.

Of course there is one little catch.

This dragon is female, single and oh so ready to mingle a girl dragon.

Oh sure, I mean of course you're a girl dragon.

After initially being a hurdle for Shrek and company to overcome when rescuing Fiona from her prison, dragon became an ally in the finale due to falling in love with donkey of all people.

Well the heart wants what it wants to guess and I'm not afraid of Number 17 tandem the Dragon Prince.

This animated series explores the conflict between humans and the realm of Zaidi's magical creatures, including dragons.

The titular prince, Asmodeus or Zim for short certainly deserves a mention, but his father king of the dragons takes the spot raining for three centuries tandem was a respected leader by his subjects and an absolute powerhouse.

He was equally feared by his enemies who simply called him thunder since he could, you know, make it rain lightning on a whim today of all days, I will spare you number 16 the Dragon, The seventh Voyage of Sinbad, one of the most prolific and influential special effects creators of all time.

Ray Harryhausen was the creator of this action adventure classic over the decades, Harry housing, created dozens of iconic creatures and this creation is up there as a contender for his magnum opus.

The impressive look of the dragon nicknamed Taro by some was created with Harryhausen's signature stop motion style known as Dina Mation.

The model which was over three ft long and featured vibrant paint, took advantage of Harryhausen's first color film.

All the hard work was worth it when the dragon came head to head with a cyclops during the climax, which is still a technical marvel over 50 years later, number 15 blue eyes, white dragon ugo in duel monsters, few cards are as memorable or powerful as set okay, bas signature beast, the sole owner of these now iconic dragons, They were often the trump cards that afforded to his many victories when he wasn't losing to you.

G of course, despite one of them being nearly unbeatable with its high number of attack points, Skiba would often bust out all three at once to help him devastate opponents.

So what hope do you have against two?

Why don't you just admit defeat Yugi?

When he was feeling particularly prideful, he would fuse them together, creating the blue eyes ultimate dragon which possessed an attack power that made it practically invincible, create the blue eyes.

Ultimate dragon.

Number 14 Sisu Riah and the last dragon.

This film draws its inspiration from the varied cultures and peoples of Southeast Asia, including the dragons that make up their myths.

Unlike the fire breathing beings that some may be used to Sisu is a water dragon with power over the rain but more importantly a true and loyal friend to Ryan who said that.

Whoa hello Hello voiced by Aquafina.

Sisu is uniquely hilarious among dragons but also possesses boldness and nobility.

She'll make you laugh, spit up some wisdom and make it rain all at the same time.

Thank you.

Number 13 Draco Dragonheart who better to cast as someone that is equal parts distinguished and rough around the edges to play the world's last dragon than James bond himself.

Sir Sean Connery.

Connery gives immense personality to the ancient dragon who strikes up an uneasy truce with a dragon slaying knight burdened by guilt.

A little overconfident aren't we?

Hardly?

But if you win you'll be out of work.

Although the special effects are terribly dated by today's standards.

Seeing a fully C.

G.

I.

Character perfectly lip sinking to Connery's dialogue was nothing short of incredible at the time, tempered by a captivating character arc.

Once you swore your sword and service were mine to call when I had need of you to ask what I would of you, I hold you to your bow night number 12 Elliot, Pete's Dragon.

The original Elliott from the 1977 adaptation is unquestionably a popular figure in Disney fandom famously being featured in the main street electrical parade.

However, we think he's edged out by his counterpart in the films remake, acting a bit like a gigantic flying green fluffy dog.

Elliot is the best friend and defender of the lost child, Pete possessing the power to become invisible.

The so called Mill Haven dragon has become a bit of a folk legend.

There's such a grand sense of joy and wonder whenever Elliot rolls onto the screen, it is a sheer delight.

Mhm mm.

Number 11 mushu Mulan, the Disney animated renaissance of the 19 nineties was filled with memorable sidekicks with the pint sized dragon mushu being no exception.

Voiced by the hilarious Eddie Murphy mushu provided comic relief and some much needed levity to the flick.

So tell me what model needs my protection.

Great ancestor originally only meant to awaken the great stone dragon mushu ended up taking on the role of Mulan's protector.

His arc even mirrored hers with both determined to regain the honor of the fa family while pretending to be something they were not short on size and big on personality mushu is irreplaceable.

My eyes can see straight through your armor.

Number 10.

The Hungarian horn tail, harry potter and the goblet of fire.

While a number of dragons appear across the harry potter franchise, they're featured most integrally and prominently in his fourth cinematic outing with each champion in the tri wizard tournament having to face down a dragon.

It should come as no surprise that Harry would draw the fiercest of them all, The Hungarian horn tail, I have to admit that horn tail is a right nasty piece.

Somewhere true to its name.

This creature was a mass of spikes and rage.

If not for some expert flying skills, the boy who lived would have been toasted because the horn tail is pretty determined when it comes to getting its prey.

Number nine drogon.

Game of Thrones.

Long after dragons were thought to be extinct.

Following the downfall of how Star Gary in three were hatched into the world by the line survivor Daenerys Targaryen.

She sought to use her dragons to retake her birthright And over the course of several seasons, all three grew into tremendous war machines.

Yeah, yeah.

While the Syrian and regal were respectable, Drogon was the largest, most powerful and the personal mount of Daenerys.

As Drogon grew, he became fierce and unruly, dangerous and very unpredictable.

He also raised most of King's landing to ash in a single afternoon.

Yeah.

No eight.

King Ghidorah, the Godzilla franchise, one of the most fearsome Kaiju, this three headed monster stands over 500 ft tall, is capable of shooting gravity beams and has been a blight on humanity across every incarnation.

Although its origin story has varied over the years, King Ghidorah has consistently remained the arch enemy of the king of Monsters himself, Godzilla with enough power to match him in combat every step of the way.

Thank you.

Boom.

This is definitely one dragon in dire need of getting all three heads lopped off.

Number seven Maleficent, Sleeping beauty, cunning, magically adept, flamboyant and incredibly well dressed.

Maleficent remains one of the best animated villains of all time.

Of course when spells and trickery don't suffice, she has this little transformation up her sleeve and all the powers of her drink.

Konik form is as iconic as her natural state, if not more so black and purple gargantuan in size and able to unleash emerald flames.

Maleficent truly was the best part of this entire classic.

She would have gotten away with it too if it weren't.

For Prince Philip and his cheat code sword.

Number six verma, thrax pejorative dragonslayer, the dragon from this dark cult classic was brought to life by technical wizard Phil tippett's incredible stop motion, which he called Go Motion.

This marked the first time that the effects company, industrial light and magic worked on a non lucasfilm movie.

These spectacular special effects helped bring the despicable dragon to life, giving it a truly terrifying aura with over a quarter of the film's budget going into the dragon's effects verma, thrax is a monster straight out of a medieval tale of adventure in wizardry and will happily incinerate anyone who says otherwise.

Number five shen Ron, the dragon ball franchise.

Whoever completes the monumental task of collecting all seven dragon balls is granted an audience with the God dragon himself Sh Enron wherein the almighty entity will grant the summoner.

The greatest gift of all a Wish that would be me, impartial as he is powerful.

Chevron will grant boons to both the benevolent and the wicked appropriately, the eternal dragon looks all too intimidating, drawing inspiration from the dragons of chinese mythology.

Although there are some rules and limits to Chevron's power.

A super version of Chevron's powers are limitless sporting golden scales and incomprehensible size.

Created with the limitless power.

The super dragon balls give me a servant who possesses the same powers.

Number four Falco or the never ending story as his title might imply, Falco or the luck dragon is incredibly fortunate in all he does.

Of course, that's far from the only great thing about him as wise as he is kind Falco or is a loyal friend that never lies.

I'm a luck dragon.

My name is Falco or given his nature, it's no surprise there's very much a canine quality about him serving as a guide and ally to the likes of a tray you on his journey to defeat the likes of nothing as well as helping to give bastian some much needed payback against some school bullies.

Why can't we have a falco or number three?

A coup spirited away.

Like most of the residents of the spirit world, there's much more to Haku than what he seems, although he typically appears as a young human boy whose true form is that of an elegant and regal dragon who certainly has some bite to him as both a beast and a young man.

Haku stood firm as to heroes adamant protector and friend with their relationship being as beautiful and pure as jubilees.

Most lyrical of animations like many of Hayao Miyazaki's creations, Aku has a deep connection to nature being revealed as a wayward spirit of a river.

One worth every prayer imaginable.

Thank goodness you're alive.

I can't believe it.

Number two toothless.

The how to train your dragon franchise described as the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself.

Night furies are feared above all other dragons by the Vikings of berk.

When one is down by chance by the chief's son Hiccup, he's able to discover its true nature being that of a playful and intelligent animal which he subsequently names toothless.

The to develop an unbreakable bond as both dragon and rider where they prove that together they can overcome the worst.

They're two species produce.

Come on though, let's not pretend toothless isn't the one packing the firepower.

He's challenging the alpha to protect you.

Number one smog.

The Hobbit trilogy created by one of the 20th century's most revered authors.

J.

R.

R.

Tolkien.

Smog was brought to life on the big screen in peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy.

Smog was a monumental achievement in film history brought to life with the smooth yet sinister voice of Benedict cumberbatch.

Ice.

Yeah.

Yeah.

However the bane of Lake Town is far more than just a technical marvel.

It's a beast.

As cunning as it is dangerous.

Me slinking through the mountains of gold and unleashing his fiery fury upon those who disturb it smile remains the ultimate cinematic dragon fire.

I am.
