Trogdor

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Trogdor is an S-shaped wingaling dragon with a beefy arm whose sole purpose in life is to burninate the countryside, peasants, and the peasants' thatch-roofed cottages. Trogdor sprung from the wild imagination of Strong Bad in the email "dragon", and has since appeared in several games, becoming one of the most well-known inside jokes on the entire site.
