* ''Manga/OnePiece'': The [[Recap/OnePieceLandOfWanoArc Wano Country Arc]] reveals that the Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit eaten by X Drake[[note]]the X is pronounced Diez[[/note]] which allows him to turn into a Dinosaur is the ''Ryu Ryu no Mii, Model: Allosaurus'' (''Dragon Dragon fruit, Model: Allosaurus''). Apparently, the Ancient Dragon models allows you to turn into dinosaurs, as several top commanders of the Beast Pirates also have Dragon Fruit Models, such as King who can turn into a Pteranodon, Queen who turns into a Brachiosaur, and Page One who turns into a Spinosaurus. This is a reference to the fact that in Japanese the word for Dinosaur, ''Kyoryu'' (恐竜), contains the character, ''Ryu'' (竜), which means dragon. [[spoiler:Ironically, this is not the case with the ''actual'' eastern dragon fruit eaten by Kaido, which is a Mythical Zoan Fruit, the ''Uo Uo no Mii, Model: Seiryu'' (''Fish Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon''). The name being Fish instead of Dragon is most likely a reference to the famous legend of the Koi fish that swam up a waterfall and transformed into a dragon when it reached the top and passed through the Dragon Gate. This legend is even referenced InUniverse as the main method of entering Wano is by using giant koi fish to pull your ship up a massive waterfall.]]

* ''Manga/OnePiece'': All the dinosaur Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits are classified as types of Dragon Devil Fruit. This is a reference to the fact that in Japanese the word for Dinosaur, ''Kyoryu'' (恐竜), contains the character, ''Ryu'' (竜), which means dragon. Confusingly, despite Kaido having multiple dinosaur Zoan users in his crew, her eastern-style dragon form is classified as a type of '''fish''', most likely a reference to the famous legend of the Koi fish that swam up a waterfall and transformed into a dragon when it reached the top and passed through the Dragon Gate.

* ''Fanfic/{{Outlander}}'': [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]]. The reason why Sam doesn't immediately think he's in a fantasy world even after being attacked by a dragon is that there ''were'' giant lizards on Earth once upon a time.
