Dragon The Dragon is a mythical Animal Minifigure which was originally released in 1993 . Several versions of the dragon have been released since its debut . A dragon named Burno was planned in the early stages of LEGO Universe . Background . Version 1 . Dragons were first introduced in the 1993 " Dragon Masters " subtheme of " Castle " . These first dragons were green with red wings and only three dragons were initially available in this subtheme . With the addition of the 1997 Fright Knights subtheme dragons were reintroduced , but this time some of them were black with transparent red wings . Ironically , this theme also introduced black versions of the dragon wings , but the official Fright Knights designs did not use them on dragons themselves ; instead placing them upon various vehicles . Naturally , the included parts could be rearranged to build a pure - black dragon . After the Fright Knights were discontinued in 1998 dragons were not seen again , save the minor appearance in the game " LEGO Racers ( Game ) " and " Knights ' Kingdom " subtheme in 2000 . Those dragons consisted of a body piece with fixed legs and movable arms . The seperate pieces that made up the head and the tail were later reused as parts of the crocodile and the arms reappeared as parts of several dinosaurs in " Studios " , " Dino Island " and " Dinosaurs " Version 1 . 5 , Oriental Dragon . The 2003 Adventurers set 7419 Dragon Fortress from the Orient Expedition sub - theme , was the first and only set to included an embellished black Oriental style dragon , which utilized two pieces exclusive to this set : an embellished serphant - like tail piece , and a new gold head piece . Version 2 , " Vikings " & " Harry Potter " Dragons . There were no new dragons until 2005 , when several different dragon figures were included in sets of the new " Vikings " line . The dragons were made up of various assembled pieces , much like a typical LEGO model , instead of being a standard minifigure . Those dragons were slightly different from each other and had only some elements in common , such as the head , which was only available in " Vikings " sets ( and one " Knights ' Kingdom II " set from 2008 , but merely as an ornament and not as part of a dragon ) , the wings , which were also used in later dragon models , and the tail pieces , which made their debut as dinosaur tails in 2001 . The legs and arms of these creatures were fully movable . 2005 also saw the release of 4767 Harry and the Hungarian Horntail which included a new version of the dragon minifigure . This dragon consisted of a new armless body piece with fixed legs and a head exclusive to this set . The wings were the same as in the " Vikings " dragons , save the color . The tail tip was a new piece that was later reused in the new version of the " Castle " dragon . Version 2 . 5 . In 2007 a new dragon model was introduced for the new " Castle " theme . The dragons were available in either black , dark red or green . The wings were the same as in the dragons from 2005 . Other than the previous dragons the new one had an actual separate neck , which was taken from the 2001 dinosaurs ( and was also used as an elephant ' s trunk in the meantime . The arms and legs were new pieces , as well as the head . The tail tip was the same one used on the Hungarian Horntail from 2005 . This dragon was reintroduced in Castle ( 2013 ) in 70403 Dragon Mountain . The LEGO Movie . In " The LEGO Movie " , the red 2 . 5 version of the dragon is seen in Middle Zealand . It nearly collided with the Batmobile , but missed . It could be seen with some Lion Knights roasting a Pig on a spit as the Batmobile ascended the rainbow leading to Cloud Cuckoo Land . It was soon seen stacking bricks in the background with the Knights . The Dragon can finally be seen during the Battle of Bricksburg . Minecraft . In 2014 the new non - minifigure dragon was introduced in the new Minecraft theme for two sub series for minifigure and micro mob series . They are in types of classes of figures . One is micro mob and the non - minifigure . They have various pieces and a lot of special features like movable wings . Elves . This series introduces dragons that combine a few specialized parts with standard brick - built elements . They all have names and are paired to certain humanoid characters .
