History Main / CoDragons

* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': While most of the Akatsuki members continue to fall and the ones that remain have more of their pasts revealed, it turns out that [[spoiler:Pain and Zetsu are both TheDragon to Tobi, with Pain as Tobi's right-hand man as well as the Akatsuki's field leader and Zetsu is the Akatsuki's spy as he helps Tobi pull off his tricks. After Naruto defeated Pain, Kisame Hoshigaki replaces him as a new Co-Dragon, lending Tobi his great fighting skill willingly. One could argue for Sasuke's inclusion in this, but Tobi seems to treat him more like TheBrute.]]

* In the first half of the third season of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', Zuko appears to be meant as Co-Dragon to Azula under Fire Lord Ozai, even if his heart wasn't really in it.
** And Azula has something of Co-Dragons in Mai and Ty Lee. [[spoiler:Their HeelFaceTurn and the realization that fear does not guarantee loyalty leads to Azula's VillainousBreakdown]].

* ''Film/HighlanderIIITheSorcerer'': Kane is introduced with two other evil immortals who seem to work for him, but they're quickly killed off when he sends off one to fight [=McLeod=] by himself and betrays and kills the other to [[DevourTheDragon absorb his powers]].

* Gwen and Penny serves this to Portia from ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyB''

* ''Manga/MoriartyThePatriot'' has William Moriarty's brothers, Louis and Albert, serving as his {{Dragons}}.

* In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarIII'', Zeus has Poseidon and Helios, during the Second Great War against Kratos and the Titans.

* Amon from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' has [[NoNameGiven The Lieutenant]], who leads his chi-blockers, and [[spoiler:Hiroshi Sato]], who designs the Equalists' weapons.

** In season 3, Galvatron has [[ThoseTwoGuys Cyclonus and Scourge]].

** As pictured above, Ganondorf in ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'' gets two returning characters, Zant and Ghirahim, as his Co-Dragons when he finally makes an appearance. The original character Cia, meanwhile, has two more original characters, Volga and Wizzro, as her Co-Dragons.

** Gekko Moria has Hogback, Absalom, and Perona.
** In Kuja Pirates, Boa Hancock had her sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold, but she [[DefrostingIceQueen wasn't an antagonist for long.]]

** Caesar Clown had Monet, as his assistant, and Vergo [[spoiler:but they were both working first and foremost for Caesar's boss, and were both (ostensibly) killed at the end of that arc]].

* In ''Fanfic/JWITCHSeason1'', [[SnakePeople Lord Cedric]] and [[EvilSorcerer Daolon Wong]] jointly serve as [[EvilOverlord Prince Phobos's]] chief minions. [[TeethClenchedTeamwork They don't like each other much, though]], yet [[TheStarscream they both have their own plans to overthrow Phobos when the time is right]].

* ''Machinima/ArbyNTheChief'':

* The Chorus arc of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' gives us Locus and [[spoiler: Felix]], two mercenaries who carry out [[BigBad Control]] [[spoiler: AKA the Chairman]]'s plan to wipe out the people of Chorus. All of Control's other grunts answer to them, they are the only ones who have any sort of contact with their boss, and are by far the biggest threat of the arc, even giving [[SuperSoldier Wash and Carolina]] a challenge.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBotsMaster'': The CorruptCorporateExecutive LLP has his two top employees, [[EvilGenius Dr. Hiss]] and [[FemmeFatale Lady Frenzy]]. Frenzy is better at getting on Paradim's good side, while Hiss is often abused by his boss for failing to defeat the heroes, despite otherwise being a very competent scientist.

* In the cartoon adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/DonkeyKongCountry'' Klump and Krusha act as this to King K. Rool

* ''Series/VRTroopers'' had a lot of them, given that it [[CutAndPasteTranslation blended together three separate]] ''Metal Heroes'' shows. General Ivar (commander of Grimlord's air and ground assault forces), Colonel Icebot (top scientist and monster creator) and Decimator (field commander and best warrior) were the main sub-leaders in season 1; season 2 saw Decimator get replaced by Oraclon (a giant gold head that served as a living supercomputer) and, to an extent, Doom Master and Despera (new warrior and DarkChick respectively).

** The following movie, ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheHauntsOfEvil'', has the villain Lord Daburanda's two dragons - the EvilGenius Professor Kos and TheHeavy, CaptainSaberu. The former is a researcher who's behind construction of ancient war machines to enforce Daburanda's dictatorship, while the latter is tasked with rooting out civilain resistance and ordering his soldiers around.

** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', the position is shared by Ansem, Xemnas, and Young Xehanort, as they are Master Xehanort’s right-hand men in the Seekers of Darkness. Ansem is searching for a mysterious girl called Subject X, Xemnas maintains some of the day-to-day groundwork being laid by the lesser members since he already has experience being their leader, and Young Xehanort researches the bonds between [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory toys and their owners]] to help engineer the collection of the last Seeker of Darkness needed. During the climactic Keyblade War, the former two serve as Master Xehanort’s main generals in the field, overseeing and providing support to the lesser members during their fights against the Guardians of Light. The penultimate boss fight, fittingly, is against these three all at once. It's also interesting to note that while Ansem and Xemnas are Rank II and III respectively in the Real Organization XIII, Young Xehanort is actually the second-lowest ranking member at Rank XII.

** ''Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters'' plays with this trope, starting with Enter as its sole Dragon for BigBad Messiah. After Messiah grows impatient, he creates Escape, another Dragon. [[spoiler: In the final arc, Enter manages to manipulate the Rangers into destroying Messiah, becoming a DragonAscendant.]]

** Damaras and Argus are replaced by [[ReplacementFlatCharacter Redker and Yellzor]] after rangers kill them and Prince Vekar.

** ''Power Rangers Super Megaforce'' has [[DragonInChief Damaras]], [[TheBrute Argus]] and [[EvilGenius Levira]] as Prince Vekar's Co-Dragons. While both Damaras and Levira are complaining about the prince and acting on his back, they both care for him. Argus, on the other hand is completely loyal to Vekar and [[TheConfidant his confidant]].

** ''[[Series/PowerRangersSamurai Samurai]]'': Dayu and Serrator. Serrator was the scheming treacherous one all the way, even getting to be DragonInChief for a little while; but Dayu wasn't particularly loyal either - she never acted against the other villains, but did leave for a while when she had been abused too much. There's also Deker, though he was more of an independent WildCard.
** ''[[Series/PowerRangersMegaforce Megaforce]]'': A rotating ensemble in the first season, complicated by Vrak's position of DragonInChief. The series started with Vrak and Creepox as Co-Dragons to Admiral Malkor, then Creepox went down and Biggs and Bluefur were brought on with Vrak as go-between between them and Malkor, and then those two made way for Vrak getting his own personal Dragon, Metal Alice.

* ''Franchise/{{Extrapower}}'': Mensouma and Undata are the two closest minions of Dark Force and his most effective commanders.

* ''Machinima/ArbyNTheChief'':
** Trent Donnovich has two ''sets'' of two [[TheDragon Dragons]]: his sisters Victoria and Brittany, and Cameron and Cody, two MLG players Trent hired to be his bodyguards.
** Eugene Black has two people serving as moderators in his trolling clan: Tyler King and Colin Hunt.
* ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' has the 'Big Four', consisting of Steven Wilson, Melvin Carter, Jim Greynolds and Sonia Nguyen, all of whom appear to have an equal standing whilst being clear superiors to the remainder of the terrorists. [[BigBad Danya]] certainly seems to give them equal roles in his organisation.

*** In the Blackbeard Pirates, since they grew in numbers after the time-skip, Blackbeard has the Ten Titanic Captains (Jesus Burgess, Shiryu, Van Augur, Avalo Pizarro, Laffitte, Catarina Devon, Sanjuan Wolf, Vasco Shot, Doc Q, and one unnamed member) as division commanders of the crew.

* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': While most of the Akatsuki members continue to fall and the ones that remain have more of their pasts revealed, it turns out that [[spoiler:Pain and Zetsu are both TheDragon to Tobi, with Pain as Tobi's right-hand man as well as the Akatsuki's field leader and Zetsu is the Akatsuki's spy as he helps Tobi pull off his tricks. After Naruto defeated Pain, Kisame replaces him as a new Co-Dragon, lending Tobi his great fighting skill willingly. One could argue for Sasuke's inclusion in this, but Tobi seems to treat him more like TheBrute.]]
