We’re about to enter our 16th year of making animatronic dinosaur models, and our “dinosaur footprints” can be found in theme parks, zoos, natural history museums, children’s centers, and more all over the world. However, in the last five years, we have gradually shifted our focus to creating animatronic dragon models. This style of model perfectly matches the mythical creatures that people in Europe and America have been exposed to since childhood.

Following dinosaur models, these mythical creature models have become a popular attraction in theme parks and scenic areas. Here we’ve compiled a list of 10 types of animatronic dragon models we’ve created for potential customers (who want to purchase these models) to refer to.

1. Fiery red dragon model

This is the first dragon model we’ve ever made, and it’s of great significance. It symbolizes our super ability to create lifelike dragons. Its prototype comes from the large dragon in Norse mythology that can breathe fire. These fire-breathing dragons usually hide in the caves of high mountains, where they roost amidst countless treasures of gold and silver.

The customer placed this fire red colored dragon box in a “cave adventure” attraction at the theme park. Visitors can wander through the area, where they can encounter not only dragon but also many mythical creatures.

Movement: Mouth opening & closing, head left to right, neck up and down, stomach breathing, tail sway
Material: Inner steel structures and CE certificated driven-motors + outside high-density foam and quality silicone
Power Supply: 220/110V, 50/60Hz
Start Mode: Automatic induction start animatronics dynamics

2. Earthy yellow dragon model

This earthy-yellow dragon model is also one of the types we often make. Judging from its appearance alone, it can be a dragon belonging to any element (fire, water, thunder, wind, etc.), and it is a dragon customized based on a game character. Such dragons are usually found in hunting scenes, and they can ferociously and domineeringly awe humans.

The customer placed this dragon model on an artificial lake. When tourists arrive at the lake, the dragon can flap its wings and roar, as if it has seen its “prey” with great joy. The client also installed fountains in the lake to enhance the awe-inspiring atmosphere created by the dragon’s roar.

Size: 6 meters long, 2.4 meters high
Movement: Mouth opening & closing, head left to right, neck up and down, stomach breathing, tail sway, wings flap

3. Scarlet dragon model

This scarlet dragon looks even more bloodthirsty and terrifying, as if it could kill everyone in a castle and burn all the buildings to the ground. It is more intimidating and better at snatching human treasures.

It was precisely because it seemed more capable of grabbing treasures that our client placed it in the casino he opened. This symbolizes that wealth can accumulate in the casino and will not leave easily.

Movement: Mouth opening & closing, head left to right, neck up and down, stomach breathing, tail sway, wings flap
Material: Inner steel structures and CE certificated driven-motors + outside high-density foam and quality silicone

4. The dragon model from prototype of Game of Thrones (dark brown body)

The most popular type to copy dragon models from three dragons prototype in Game of Thrones (Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion, raised by Daenerys). They are Daenerys’s wings, her martial prowess, and her far-reaching vision, representing loyalty and protection. This dark brown dragon has also become increasingly popular with customers in the past two years.

This black-brown dragon model placed in the snow is made based on the prototype of the dragons from Game of Thrones. The customer placed it in their own snow-themed theme park, and once visitors enter the ‘Hidden Ice Dragon Cave,’ they will discover this majestic creature.

5. Dragon model with three heads (earthy-yellow body)

Among the many dragon models we sold, the one with three dragon heads is considered a very special kind! It should be noted that in Western mythology (Greek or Roman), there don’t seem to be any three-headed dragons; instead, the three-headed hellhound is the most well-known! However, after the first three-headed dragon model appeared, it became increasingly popular.

Especially the three heads dragon model with earthy-yellow body seem to be particularly popular with European customers! Does this color represent ‘gold’ or ‘coins’? It’s quite surprising.

6. Crimson armor-style dragon model

The design and production of this dragon model come from our French client. He has a particularly large forest park, named Dragon’s Secret Realm, and all the dragon models inside were designed by his staff. Especially this crimson dragon, its entire body is covered with armored-scales, and the scales on its neck are even more pronounced. It’s a dragon full of dominance and power.

This dragon hung upside down, its wings flapping, placed atop a tall castle as if ready to attack any treasure hunters who dared to approach it. This dragon has also been favored by many European and American customers since its birth.

7. Five-clawed golden loong model (Chinese dragon)

Since we’re talking about mythical creatures like “dragons,” it’s not to miss out on the Chinese market! The Chinese refer to it as “LOONG” which is not the enormous winged lizard found in Western mythology. This golden loong represents power, wealth, and luck in Chinese mythology, and is a fictional animal with good symbolism.

We often create animatronic loong models over ten meters long for Chinese clients, and this golden dragon is the most popular. It is particularly suitable for placement where customers earn money, such as shopping malls, hotels, luxury stores, and so on.

8. Sky-blue kylin model (Chinese dragon)

Strictly speaking, Kylin is close relative of Chinese dragon, not a true dragon or loong. But like the loong, the Kylin also represents power, wealth, and luck in traditional Chinese beliefs. Once the creature (sculpture or model) like a Kylin appears in front of people, it also represents the arrival of good luck.

Therefore, the dragon models based on these three prototypes but with different body colors are also highly popular among audiences. This dragon model with a purple pink body has won the love of many female viewers, especially little girls.

The design of this dragon is actually derived from a character in Game of Thrones. On the basis of restoring the TV version, we have made adjustments to the shape of the neck, body, and wings. Its neck is thicker and presents a head down posture, as if overlooking its destructive achievements.
