5	''Coryoon: Child of Dragon'' is a 1991 HorizontalScrollingShooter CuteEmUp developed and published by Naxat Soft for the Platform/TurboGrafx16. Instead of a jet fighter or a spaceship, you're controlling an adorable little dragon as you fly around blasting enemies.

7	Playing as Coryoon, a baby dragon and the pet of an unnamed princess, when a curse turns your master into a child, you immediately set off on a journey across forests, underwater regions, and interiors of volcanoes to seek a cure, battling through a colourful assortment of enemies all the way.

9	----
10	!! Coryoon contain examples of:
11	* AsteroidThicket: In the second-to-last stage, which is set in outer space. Coryoon will need to be wary of ''ice'' asteroids all over the place.
12	* BossRush: The final stage, where there are no mooks an instead pits Coryoon against the unicorn, giant lobster, gryphon, serpent, phoenix and crystal turtle before the FinalBoss.
13	* BossWarningSiren: A rather generic, simple one, where each boss is heralded by a huge red "'''WARNING!'''"
14	* BreathWeapon: Since you're a dragon instead of a spaceship... besides Coryoon's dragon breath, most of the bosses like the giant lobster and gryphon can breathe ranged projectiles as well.
15	* ChargedAttack: By holding down the firing button, Coryoon can let out a concentrated blast from his cheeks. Combining this with any available power-ups will yield different effects - for instance, "Fire" allows Coryoon to let out a fiery tornado lasting for several seconds.
16	* ColorFailure: Bosses turns grayscale upon defeat, but otherwise doesn't "die" graphically onscreen due to the game's cutesy nature.
17	* CrystalLandscape: One of the last stages is a massive cavern where the landscape is made of gigantic purple crystals.
18	* CrystallineCreature: Coryoon fights turtle-like enemies with shells made of crystals while exploring the crystal caves. The stage's boss is notably a KingMook version of these turtles, one several times larger than Coryoon and [[MookMaker constantly lay eggs]] which [[WeaponizedOffspring hatches into more of these enemy types]].
19	* ElementalPowers: Coryoon can collect orbs which turns his default projectiles into different elemental-based attacks, including "[[ShockAndAwe Thunder]]", "[[PlayingWithFire Fire]]" and "[[MakingASplash Water]]".
20	* FairyCompanion: One of the collectible items grants Coryoon a pair of fairy sidekicks orbiting around him, who can help Coryoon attack onscreen enemies.
21	* FlyingFace: In a game where bosses are mostly based on generic mythological creatures, the boss in the desert stage sticks out - because it's a disembodied, floating serpentine head who breathes ranged attacks on Coryoon non-stop. It has an OrbitingParticleShield made of fire for good measure. Defeat it an it turns into a SegmentedSerpent instead.
22	* FountainOfYouth: A curse turns Coryoon's owner, a princess, into a child. And it's up to Coryoon to find a cure to break the curse.
23	* GiantEnemyCrab: The mid-boss of the underwater world, who stays on the ground for the entire battle but can [[ExtendableArms extend its pincers]] to snap at Coryoon. Defeat it and Coryoon faces the stage's end boss, a giant lobster.
24	* HarmlessEnemy: Huge birds that carries pouches in their beaks, and lacks any form of attacks. Shoot at them and they'll flee while leaving behind a random elemental power-up for Coryoon.
25	* HelpingHands: A cute example (well, ''everything'' in this game's pretty darn adorable) in the valley stage: gigantic floating gloved hands who constantly tries clapping on Coryoon. Somehow they can't be hurt by any attacks.
26	* MirrorMatch: The FinalBoss - after Coryoon has defeated a colourful gauntlet of enemies, besides a BossRush against most previous bosses, the game then concludes with... Coryoon fighting three silver clones of himself. Defeat the trio and they then pull a FusionDance into a gigantic silver Coryoon.
27	* {{Oculothorax}}: The Crystal caves has a mid-boss being a gigantic, ''spiked'', eyeball monster. Surrounded by dozens of smaller ones orbiting around it.
28	* OurGryphonsAreDifferent: A gryphon serves as the boss of the valley stage. That one appears to have some traits lifted from the ClassicalChimera as well, with a snake's head for a tail and both its heads firing away at Coryoon.
29	* ThePhoenix: A hostile, two-tailed Phoenix serves as the boss of the volcano stage. It has FeatherFlechettes abilities as a backup ranged attack.
30	* PolarPenguins: Penguins are minor enemies in the Arctic sea level, and attacks Coryoon on sight.
31	* {{Snowlems}}: Sentient snowmen who can chuck snowballs as attacks appears near the end of the game.
32	* SpreadShot: Coryoon's "Thunder" power-up turns his projectiles into lightning bolts that spreads into an arc. Collecting several identical versions of the power-up even allows him to spread the blasts ''behind''.
33	* {{Unicorn}}: A pair of unicorns appears at the end of the first stage as a DualBoss. They have a SharedLifeMeter though, which makes the battle slightly easier.
34	* WrittenSoundEffect: To complete the game's kid-friendly, cartoonish look, defeated enemies will frequently let out an onscreen "'''BOM!'''". Bosses will leave behind a dozen.
