Most persecuted minority in fiction...

[Archae]

Dragons.

Why is it dragons are evil in 99% of fiction?

Latest example, that videogame "Skyrim."

In "Skylanders: Spyro's Adventures," (latest in a series of games going back to 1998,) dragons are the heroes.

1. Well, they eat people, burn villages, destroy crops, and get mud on the carpets.

:shrug: What's not evil about that?

2. But humans only want to kill them!

Is it any wonder the dragons get so pissed off? ;-)

4. Hmm,

I would think Orcs, or Goblins would be more persecuted than dragons, but you are onto something. I think there was a good dragon in that Wizards First Rule series, and I think there are a couple in that Eragon series.

6. The dragon wasn't exactly good in Wizard's First Rule...

She was self-interested. Certainly not evil, though, and she sided with the hero after some negotiations. One of the better characters of the book, I thought.

8. Good dragons in Dragonriders of Pern

9. They are noble and self-sacrificing in "Dragonheart."
