Revision as of 03:54, 1 June 2011
The purpose of this guide is to document the various dragons, young dragons and dragon like monsters released by Citadel until 1998. So far as is possible, they are shown in chronological order of release.
Many of the C series, Tom Meier (DG) series, the boxed sets (DRAG series) and the C series young dragons later appeared in the 1988 catalogue. Where applicable, the 1988 Catalogue code is shown. Some of the young dragons were given new codes and names in the December 1992 Dragon Flyer - these are shown where applicable.
Thanks to Heldrak for the section on DRAG7 rider variants and Dozingdragon for the section on FT head variants.
Contents
Dragons & Wyverns to 1990
Fiend Factory (FF) Dragons
Both FF33-1 and FF33-2 appear to be similar sculpts, apart from the change in pose.
FF33-2 Great Fire Dragon is similar to the later C11/1(a) Fire Dragon but they are different. Not only are the wings different, FF33-2 has the head and neck as one piece whereas in the C11/1(a) Fire Dragon, the head is separate and the neck is cast as part of the body.
The 1983 catalogue states the FF61-2 Black Dragon is the same as C11/1(c) Black Dragon, the FF55 Young Dragon the same as the C30/1(c) Young Dragon and the FF54 Wyvern the same as the C30/1(d) Wyvern. These may have been reworked in the same way as the FF33-2 Great Fire Dragon.
Fantasy Tribes (FT) Dragons
All the FT dragons came with a choice of 3 heads. A number of variant heads have been identified, as shown separately.
All the FT Dragons later appeared as part of the C11 range in the 1983 Catalogue.
Fantasy Tribes (FTO) Orc Wyvern
Two variants of the FTO-13 Orc riding giant wyvern have been identified. In one the wyvern has a saddle and in the other there is no saddle.
1983 Catalogue - C Series
The 1983 Catalogue has three sections for dragons.
The C11 section includes the FT dragons plus two of the FF range, a reworked FF33-2 Great Fire Dragon and FF61-2 Black Dragon. As with the FT range, each came with a choice of heads. The head variants are shown in the FT Section above.
The C30 section includes the FF54 Wyvern and the FF55 Young Dragon plus a new winged serpent.
Also appearing in the 1983 Catalogue is the huge Citadel Imperial Dragon (Also known as the Chicken Dragon) as shown on Stuff of Legends.
C30/1(e) Winged Serpent

1987 Boxed Sets (DRAG series)
The DRAG7 Dragon Masters boxed set included both a Dragon and an Elven Steed, with a choice of 2 random variant Elf riders. The 4 different riders are shown mounted on the Steed that was included with the set.
December 1987 DS series
The two young dragons were given new codes and names in the December 1992 Dragon Flyer, as shown.
Marauder Dragons
Uncatalogued
This jabberwocky figure, sculpted by Bob Olley, is nearly twice the size of the better known C29 Jabberwocky. Not listed in any of the catalogues, flyers or White Dwarfs, it seems to have been available from Mail order.
Young Dragons and smaller dragon like monsters to 1990
Spring 1985 Journal
All the young dragons in the Spring 1985 Journal were unnamed. The same figures also appeared in Compendium Three, at which time they had been named.
Autumn 1985 Journal
The same figures also appeared in Compendium Three.
Compendium Three
With the exception of the Cave Dragon which first appeared in Compendium Three, all others had previously appeared in the Spring or Autumn 1987 Journals.
Spring 1987 Journal
Dragon Flyer - January 1988
1988 Catalogue
1988 Dungeonquest
Ral Partha Dragons
In the early 1980's Citadel held a license to produce Ral Partha figures in the UK. These appeared in bothe boxed sets and blisters.
The boxed sets came in the usual Citadel boxes although the Ral Partha origin was usually credited.
