Dragons were large, winged reptilian creatures. Often found in magical realms, they had a voracious appetite. While, in some universes, Dragons were intelligent creatures with the power of speech, in others they were mere beasts, albeit with the cunning of a predator.

The Topiary Veranda located within the Gardens of the Strange and Wonderful House took its name from being surrounded on three sides by bushes shaped into “dragons, unicorns, and less immediately identifiable things”. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: The Secrets of Our Gardens (Part 1)) There were also rumours about there being “one or two dragons” lurking in the hair dye closet of the House's Salon; (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: The Fabulous Salon) giving one of these dragons a sky lantern full of hydrogen in exchange for being “beamed up” to the Roof was the final step in the necessary ritual to get onto the Roof. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: The Roof) “Dragon spit” was one of the various dangerous substances with which the drinks served in the Cotillion Cavern were randomly laced. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: The Cotillion Cavern) “Romances told by dragons” were among the shows one might witness on the Stage of the House, and more generally, the performers who dared to perform on the Stage included “singers and musicians who [had] sung to pirates, princes, dragons, peasants, and spies and lived to sing the tale”. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: The Stage)
Arthurian England in Reality Z-25 31-H was home to at least one talking, bipedal Dragon. After he made off with a Princess, it was assumed that he had abducted her, and the Blue Knight was sent after him to “rescue” her. However, it transpired that the Dragon and Princess were actually in love, and they left the country to seek a land that would be accepting of their relationship. (COMIC: Defying the Dragon)

To aid in his takeover of the Land of the Naked Emperor in one universe, Baron Tarquin enlisted Dragon-riding Argothian mercenaries. The Dragons ridden through the air by these warriors were reddish and scaly, with two legs and two wings and overall a loosely pterodactyl- or pteranodon-like appearance . They were mere non-sapient steeds. (COMIC: 24 Hour Comic 2019)

One of the creatures in the Beastmaster's service was an ochre-scaled, wingless Dragon with a red mane and a pair of yellowish horns. It was non-sapient, but Jenny Everywhere was still able to befriend it, treating it like a big friendly dog, when the Beastmaster tried to have it attack Jenny. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere and the Master of Monsters)
In Dimension 77, after learning that Jenny Everywhere had lost the magical shoes he'd made for her, the Lurigadawne of Tipperary, unable to make her a second one herself due to some obscure laws of the Fair Folk, recommended that she visit “a tribe of cobbler-dwarves of great renown,” who lived beyond the magical land of Kalterskelter; he warned her that among other perils on the way, she would have to “fight a few Dragons” to get to them. She was unwilling to embark on yet another grand quest and declined. (PROSE: The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere)
