History Main / FeatheredDragons

** Other feathered Dragon-type monsters include "Gragonith, Lightsworn Dragon", the Rainbow Dragon archetype ("Rainbow Overdragon", "Crystal Beast Rainbow Dragon", "Rainbow Dragon"), "Buster Whelp of the Destruction Swordsman", and "Judgment Dragon" and its counterpart "Judgment, the Dragon of Heaven".

* ''Franchise/YuGiOh'': Among the WIND-attribute Wyrms, there are "Dragonlark Pairen" (that looks like a cross between a dragon and a phoenix) and "Mariamne, the True Dracophoenix", a draconic being with white plumage instead of scales.

* Kasaqua in ''Literature/ToShapeADragonsBreath'' is a feathered dragon of the kind native to North Markesland, in contrast to the dragons of Anglish lands. She's described as having pinfeathers that come in to full feathers.

* To play up an association with ElementalPowers such as [[BlowYouAway air]] or [[ShockAndAwe electricity]]. It's popular in modern fiction to have elementally themed or aligned dragons, and depicting dragons tied to sky-themed elements as having physical traits of the animals most strongly associated with air and the sky is a good way to visually reinforce such themes.

** Birdramon and its black-feathered PaletteSwap Saberdramon are for all practical purposes gigantic birds, but their names, [[ToothyBird toothy mouths]] and control over fire -- including {{Fireball}}-based {{Breath Weapon}}s -- mark them as very avian members of the dramon family of draconic Digimon.

** Tyrantrum has a mane of feathers around its neck. This is due to it being based on ''UsefulNotes/TyrannosaurusRex'', making it [[DinosaursAreDragons a dinosaur]], and many dinos being known to have had feathers. The Pokedex in ''Ultra Sun'' mentions that Tyrantrum is theorized to have had a more extensive coating of feathers back in prehistoric times, but are unable to be fully restored to this state.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonWhite'': Reshiram -- one of the two legendary dragons of Unova -- has this sort of appearance. Although the art style makes it difficult to tell if it's covered in feathers or fur, the fact that it has wings and is often shown flying does tend to suggest feathers. [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:N_Reshiram.jpg This]] piece of official artwork seems to make it explicit.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonScarlet'': Koraidon, the box art legendary, and Roaring Moon, the past paradox version of Salamence, are both Dragon-type [[DinosaursAreDragons dinos]] adorned with feathers to give them a ferocious and primal look.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'': Both the [[https://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Nova_Dragon_(Final_Fantasy_IX) Nova Dragon]] and [[https://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Silver_Dragon_(Final_Fantasy_IX) Silver Dragon]] have this appearance. You fight them both as bosses and Kuja uses the latter to travel throughout a good portion of the game.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'': The great wyrm Hraesvelgr has feathery white wings [[GoodWingsEvilWings in marked contrast]] to the black, spiky leather wings of his brother Nidhogg.

* Dragons are reptiles, and sometimes [[DinosaursAreDragons they're dinosaurs as well]], and the scientific consensus that many dinosaurs had feathers is beginning to percolate into popular culture. Works tying dragons to the dinosaurs may depict at least some of the wyrms as feathered as part and parcel of the fact that the dinosaurs most likely to be associated with them, the predatory theropods, were primarily feathery animals themselves.

* ''Fanfic/CitadelOfTheHeart'', as well as its predecessor incarnations, have the fanmade Franchise/{{Digimon}} [[https://www.deviantart.com/mf217/art/Brondramon-Re-Upload-Reference-576149806 Brondramon]]. The wings, and to a lesser extent, the beard, have always been depicted as being comprised of feathers, all the way down to the wings being avian in structure. Bonus points for Brondramon also being considered a FeatheredSerpent by some InUniverse.

** ''[[VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet Pokémon Scarlet]]'': Koraidon, the box art legendary, and Roaring Moon, the past paradox version of Salamence, are both Dragon-type [[DinosaursAreDragons dinos]] adorned with feathers to give them a ferocious and primal look.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonUranium'', a fan game, has the Chicoalt line, a group of Dragon/Grass (and later Dragon/Flying)-types that resemble draconic creatures with avian feathered and beaks. The final stage, Coatlith, becomes a full FeatheredSerpent. Likewise, Yatagaryu is an Electric/Dragon-type Pokémon that fully resembles a serpentine, three-legged bird.

** ''VideoGame/PokemonScarlet'': Koraidon, the box art legendary, and Roaring Moon, the past paradox version of Salamence, are both Dragon-type [[DinosaursAreDragons dinos]] adorned with feathers to give them a ferocious and primal look.

* In ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'', the now extinct [[BlowYouAway Wind]] [[ShockAndAwe Dragons]] had [[https://www.deviantart.com/raizy/art/Wind-Dragon-554678406 a mane of feathers down the back of their necks and four birdlike wings.]] Their smaller relatives, [[http://www.sdamned.com/comic/528 the Wyverns,]] looked similar, minus the second set of wings and the legs (in some cases).
