Trogdor
Trogdor's original in-series design by Strong Bad

Trodgor, full Trogdor, the Burninator (stylized as TROGDOR, the BURNİNATOR; born [in game] January 13 or "Trogdat day"), is an S-shaped "wing-a-ling" dragon with a beefy humanoid arm, and is a recurring character on The Brothers Chaps' Flash animated web series, Homestar Runner.

Overview[edit]

Created by artists Mike Chapman and Matt Chapman, he originated in the web series from the wild imagination of Strong Bad, originally appearing as an illustration and swiftly expanded upon with music and games.

Rather than appearing in mainline toons or interacting with the main characters, Trogdor is typically found in the fantasy world of Peasantry, wherein he "burninates the countryside, peasants, and thatched-roof cottages".

He also appears as the main antagonist of Peasant's Quest, and is the main antagonist of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People (SBCG4AP) 8-bit game, where he "burninates" Strong Badia after Strong Bad tried to install his logic board on the Trogdor arcade game cabinet, whereas the beefy-armed dragon comes to life and becomes real, breaking free from his arcade cabinet and starts "burninating" the Homestar Runner's land.

History[edit]

Trogdor first appeared in episode 58 of the Strong Bad e-mail (Sbemail) called "dragon", whereas Kaiser from California, USA, asks Strong Bad to draw a dragon. After an initial failed attempt (The S is for Sucks Dragon), Strong Bad creates a dragon he was very pleased with, which became "Trogdor".

How to draw a dragon (as per Strong Bad)[edit]

  1. Draw an S.
  2. Draw a more different S.
  3. Close it up real good at the top for his head.
  4. Using consummate V's, give him teeth, spinities, and angry eyebrows.
  5. Add smoke or fire.
  6. Maybe add some wings, you know, if he's a wing-a-ling dragon.
  7. Put one of those beefy arms back on him for good measure.
  8. Name him. (Strong Bad named him TROGDOR the BURNiNATOR)
  9. Add majestic lines... for majesty.

The scales on Trogdor's body are not consummate V's; rather, they are "regimented U's" and are a side detail that Strong Bad did not comment on during his first drawing of Trogdor.

Commercial success[edit]

Trogdor's popularity saw the character appear on merchandise such as T-shirts, hoodies, and posters, with an extended version of the song appearing on the CD Strong Bad Sings.
