Trogador, a 20X6 version of Trogdor, was first shown during the '05 NYU Talk hosted by The Brothers Chaps. The Brothers Chaps at one time stated that he was likely never to be used on the site, but he proved them wrong by asking Stinkoman for "some type of birthday challenge" in Happy Trogday.
Trogador bears resemblance to a Chinese dragon, although the 20X6 toons resemble Japanese animation, or animé. Tbe beefy arm that Trogador has is done in the detailed and highly exaggerated style seen in such animés as Dragon Ball Z (Trogador's wristband even resembles the wristbands the show's main chracter, Goku, wears). The name may refer to the odd way in which Trogdor's name is said at the title screen of the TROGDOR! game. It could also be an Engrish reference, as some Western words translated into Japanese pick up extra syllables where there are two consonants in succession, such as "doragon," which means dragon.
- Debut: Happy Trogday
