Query: When did Dragon Booster air?
Dragon Booster is a Canadian animated series first broadcast in 2004. It follows the story of young Artha Penn, a stable boy who rides Beaucephalis (or "Beau" for short), the dragon of legend. He becomes a Dragon Booster, a hero to protect the world from the impending Dragon-Human war and unite humans and dragons for all time.
Word was once best friends with dragon breeder Connor Penn, and also trained with him in the Ancient Order of Dragon Priests, but broke his friendship with Connor out of a long-lasting, crucial argument and loathes the Penn name still. He was kicked out of the Ancient Order because of his fiendish (and foiled) attempts to start another dragon-human war, and experimenting with dragon control gear. Word believes that dragons should rule the earth, and it has gone to the point where his insanity blinds him from the equality of both dragons and humans. Word has succeeded in many things besides gear manufacturing, such as creating liquid black draconium, an artificial black and gold dragon (he actually created a chromatic dragon out of Brutaris, Phistus' dragon (more on Brutaris in List of Dragons in Dragon Booster), but Dragon Booster put a stop to his attempt at destroying the city), and even wraith gear designed to control humans. Word's wife's name was Zulay Paynn,( she is also the mother of Moordryd) She was loved dearly by Word and she survived the ancient Shadow Track.She died as a result of testing one of Word's Black Disruption Pods. Word felt very guilty, knowing she did it to protect the other members of their crew.
These dragons actually are very intelligent and they closely resemble Velociraptors. They are most likely to be Red and white dragons controlled with wraith gear. They are jet black with neon yellow eyes. They emit loud high pitched screeches when frightened or when sent to do orders from Word. They are also very fast and difficult to attack unless the dragons themselves are outnumbered.
At first, both Beau and Artha didn't like each other very much but as a gold dragon, Beau is the only dragon in Dragon City to choose his rider and he must choose one before trouble starts brewing up. Connor held try-outs and Beau rejected all riders until Artha rode him in episode 1, making Artha the chosen Dragon Booster. When Artha is teamed with Beau, he enhances Beau's power and, with training, Artha will be able to release the full power of the dragon.
In "Slithercorp", Word placed Human wraith gear on racers, taking control of both dragons and humans, and their leader became Kitt. The Dragon Booster and Beau destroyed Word's transmitter and freed the racers.
Poseidos is a light blue draconium Nautilus-class dragon. His human is Marianis, the leader of the Dragon Fish Crew. Poseidos is a loyal dragon who like his rider serves to help the Dragon Booster. It is assumed Poseidos is an excellent swimmer and prefers the water to land. It is unknown if Poseidos is male or female.
One time, in episode 8 "Three Times a Hero", it is shown that Word was spying on Dragon Booster and Kitt Wonn using a Bull-Class Wraith Dragon. Rarely anymore Bull-Class wraiths have been used possibly because they aren't as stealthy as 2-legged and skinny 4-legged dragons.
The Dragon Booster Trading Card Game is an out-of-print collectible trading card game based on the animated television series Dragon Booster. The initial card set, Release the Dragon, was released in February 2005 by Score Entertainment.
8 Pure black dragons were seen again in episode 38, "Battle for the Ages", when Armeggadon fought Mortis and Drakkus.
Parmon's family is never seen, though it is known that his mother is a history teacher at the academy (revealed in "Into the Fire") and his father is a government official who specializes in technology around Dragon City. This is where Parmon gets all his interests and hobbies. Where Parmon lives is unknown, though he frequently sleeps over at Penn Stables. Parm's male dragon is Cyrano. Later on in the series, it is stated that Parmon will become the green draconian Power Booster when he claims the corresponding amulet for the Power Booster gauntlet.Mortis is the only known dragon priest in Dragon City. He is Artha's mentor and trains him in the ancient ways so Artha can fulfill the prophecy. He gave Artha the ancient Dragon Booster armband on their first meeting when Artha discovers the Dragon Temple deep below the Penn Racing Stables. Mortis knows many legends and secrets, and knows much about what lies in the wasteland surrounding Dragon City. He is also highly trained in the ancient fighting techniques.
Wyldfyr is one of the fastest dragons on the race track and has a stride that makes running look effortless. Kitt frequently uses red thruster gear on Wyldfyr to go even faster. Wyldfyr hasn't shown much of his personality on screen, but he is very loyal to Kitt, and as seen in episodes like "Three Times a Hero" and "Wraith Booster," won't hesitate to defend her when the need arises.
Two-thousand years later, the Prophecy of the Dragon Priests came true. Dragons, realising that they had been tricked, rose up against their masters and began the Great Dragon-Human War. Led by the legendary Armeggadon (human leader of the Black Draconium Empire) and the Dragon League of Eight (Eight Pure Black Draconium Dragons), the Dragons fought against humans, and the ensuing war threatened to rip apart the planet. At this time, a single Gold Dragon, the last of his kind at the time, chose a human to be his hero, a Dragon Booster, in order to prove that unity was still possible. Seeing this, many dragons joined their side. Enough gold draconium was mined to make the Armour of the Dragon Booster, and they fought together against the forces of Armeggadon and the League of Eight. However, it was not enough that they had a gold dragon, and the Dragon Booster had to win the four primary colors of draconium over to their side. The Draconium colors of Green, Red, Blue and Black each produced a booster who joined with the Dragon Booster: the Power Booster from the Green Draconium Empire, the Fire Booster from the Red Draconium Empire, the Energy Booster from the Blue Draconium Empire, and the Shadow Booster from the Black Draconium Empire. Along with their followers, these Five Boosters slowly managed to halt the advancement of Armeggadon and the League of Eight. During this time, the Grey Draconium Dragons constructed the Horn of Libris and gave it to the Dragon Booster, telling him to use it when the time was right; the Dragon Booster entrusted the Horn to the Energy Booster. Soon afterwards, Armeggadon was sealed in the Shadow Track by the Shadow Booster. The time being right, the Dragon Booster and the four primary colors of draconium, along with the fringe elements of the other Draconium Empires that had joined their side, combined their powers and powered up the ancient gold draconium structures present underneath the planet and released a burst of balanced power that reverted all the dragons on Draconis back to gold. However, the Bone-Marks of the reverted dragons were not changed and were instead severed off. Dragons went into the new world with a small nub in the place of the Bone-Mark.
Recently due to an accident in "Darkness Falls" with one of Word Paynn's black draconium devices to turn dragon eggs into pure black draconium dragons, Decepshun was mutated to gain the ability to transform into a pure black dragon, in this form she becomes black with glowing purple designs and gains fins on the back of her legs and tail similar to Beau. When Moordryd becomes the Shadow Booster, Decepshun's ability to transform into this pure black state becomes easier to control. But in "The Eye of the Dragon" she absorbed the Vysox bonemark and has developed a complete mind of her own, not completely obeying her master. At times it is also shown as if she is under the control of the bone mark. She may not follow direct orders from Moordryd, which may become a problem in later episodes. When she unleashed her powerful self she takes the form of a black and maroon dragon with spikes and in this form, she looks much more powerful and vicious.
Armeggaddon was the Emperor or leader of the Black Dragon Eye Empire 3000 years ago and intends to give that honor to his student Moordryd Paynn (Shadow Booster). At first, Armeggaddon was nothing more than shadow, and his fiery, non-human eyes were his only trait. His race was previously unknown. His true form was finally revealed in episode 33, "The Defiants" wearing Dragon armour with long pointed head gear, and large curved spikes coming from his back where he says that he trained Moordryd to use him for himself as a phase for starting his dragon-human war. His mouth is also visible, suggesting he is human. He faces Word Paynn as Drakkus and tells him his love for his son is his weakness. Also, Moordryd betrays Armeggadon when he joins the Dragon Booster. Drakkus, who is actually Word Paynn, and Mortis fought the eight pure black draconium dragons of Armeggadon. After suffering betrayal from the Shadow Booster, Armeggaddon realises his mistake and prepares to resurrect the League of Eight by finding the bonemarks of the eight dragons and start another dragon-human war. He wants to destroy everybody and wants only himself and his dragons to remain alive after the war ends.
This is a list of episodes from the Canadian cel-shaded animated series "Dragon Booster". Dragon Booster was broadcast in 2004 to 2006 and ran for three seasons, each season containing thirteen twenty minute episodes.
Rivet is a mechanist, a secretive and highly elusive crew that specialize in powerful grey draconium gear. This group lives by the idea that not all is as it seems, with many shades of gray. He is never seen without his personal invisibility gear, and seems to enjoy creating confusion as seen when he gives Moordryd special grey gear for a race, and then makes it backfire near the finish line. He has directly assisted the Dragon Booster twice, once in a competition, and again when he breaks into the academy.
Booster packs for "Dragon's Maze" do not contain basic lands. Instead each booster contains either a guildgate, a shock land, or the mythic rare land from "Dragon's Maze" in the appropriate ratio of their rarities. The Shock lands have the appropriate expansion symbols of "Return to Ravnica" and "Gatecrash", but the Gates are part of "Dragon's Maze" and have a "Dragon's Maze" expansion symbol making them part of the set and thus marking the first time cards other than basic lands are printed multiple times within the same block. In limited events, an exceptional rule was set up, which Shock lands in "Dragon's Maze" boosters are treated as if they are cards from "Dragon's Maze" during sealed or booster draft.
As the colors of Draconium changed, the Dragons did not only change in appearance, but they also changed in their emotional states. The shape of their bone-marks as well as the color and frequency of their Mag-energy also changed shape. Their human riders also suffered similar behavioral changes due to the direct bond between human and dragon. Great Draconium Empires formed across the planet based on these Draconium Colors. They battled against each other and vied for supremacy. The Order of the Dragon Priests, who had dedicated themselves to the preservation of the last of the Pure Gold Draconium STAR-CLASS Dragons, warned the people that there would be a time when the dragons would rise against them if the dragons were not respected and freed. The people did not believe them, so the Dragon Priests continued their work of keeping the Gold Dragons preserved.
Over the course of the last season and a half, Moordryd's personality has changed, to an extent. He still participates in crime as the Shadow Booster, but his character is changing to that of a good guy. The final episode, "Damaged Goods", is where this change is noticeable. At first he gives Artha a serious injury as the Shadow Booster, but then after the "Dragball" game he shakes hands with Artha congratulating him, even though they tied and got accepted into the academy.Connor Jackson Penn is the father of Artha and Lance. He is an orphan who, along with Word Paynn, was raised by the Dragon Priesthood since he was a small child. While in the priesthood, Connor took the prediction of a coming dragon-human war seriously and began a program to breed gold dragons back into existence to fulfill a prophecy that a gold dragon of legend would come to stop the war and unite dragons and humans. After a lifetime of work, he was successful and bred Beau whom he raised from a pup. Connor was also the bearer of the gold star amulet of the Dragon Booster. It was apparently passed down through the ages by the Dragon Priesthood and given to Connor so he could in turn pass it on whoever was chosen to be the Dragon Booster by the gold dragon.
Swavvy, believe it or not, is NOT the large bull-class-like dragon Vociferous used in episode 20 "Artha the Drac". He is a dragon with a dark turquoise color and a body similar to that of the Nautilus class dragons. (ex:The Dragon Fish's dragons.) He walks on four legs. His name is a play on the word suave which means sophisticated. You can see him in the episodes "The Defiants", during the fight scene, and "Cain's Mutiny", during the time where Shadow Booster attacks the Down City crews.
This is a list of characters appearing in the animated television series Dragon Booster.Artha Tannis Penn is the son of Connor Penn and older brother to Lance. Artha was an ordinary 16-year-old teenager who helped his father run the dragon stables at Penn Racing and dreamed of a life writing video games. Probably as a result of a lifetime of stable chores, he wanted nothing to do with dragon racing and little to do with dragons. But that all changed when he was chosen by Beau, the gold dragon of legend, to be the Dragon Booster. Now he and Beau are charged with the task of saving the world from an impending dragon-human war and uniting dragons and humans once and for all time.
Libris is believed to be the last living dragon composed of gray draconium, and can only be summoned by the Horn of Libris trophy, once kept safe in Dragon City Security. Libris can use your own Draconium energy against you, making it a threat if unstable. According to Rivett in "The Mechanist", Libris was his dragon, and Libris is not the only gray dragon out there. Rivett now plans to summon Libris again with the Horn in his custody. Libris seems to have a kind attitude, and is said to have helped the Dragon Booster in the last Dragon-Human war.
In Dragon City, Artha's identity as the Dragon Booster is known only to Mortis, Lance, Kitt, Parmon, Stewardd, their dragons Wyldfyr, Cyrano, Fracshun and, of course, Beau. Outside Dragon City, Propheci, Reepyr and the rest of the Prophets crew learned Artha is the Dragon Booster in the episode "The Lost Track of Doom," but they do not seem to have told anyone else.
The end of the final episode of the third season alluded to a planned name change to Dragon Booster: Academy for the next season to reflect the planned change in setting; however, in an interview with Matt Hill (the voice of Artha Penn) on June 10, 2006 at the Otakuthon convention held in Concordia University (Montreal), it was made apparent that Dragon Booster failed to pull together a large enough fan base and production has permanently ceased on the series. He stated, "We did not get the following 13 episodes." When asked why the series lost its bid for more episodes, Hill responded, "They were not selling enough action figures".
The war was over, but the danger was not. The severed Bone-Marks were found to possess the spirits of the warrior dragons and were capable of possessing dragons. The Dragon Priests took upon themselves to guard the dangerous Bone-Marks. The world of Draconis was in shambles and uncertain as how to rebuild. At this time, the Dragon Priests helped to write the Academy Charter and began construction on the Dragon City Academy. This Academy and the Elite Track was originally intended to be a means of preventing another Dragon Human War to take place. However, the Dragon Priests soon realised that the Academy and the Elite Track was merely another way of starting another Dragon-Human War, so they retreated from the world. The Dragon Priests hid and guarded the Bone-Marks as well as various other powerful artifacts from the Dragon Human War, such as the Gauntlets of the Booster. They also produced another prophecy that foretold another Dragon-Human War and the return of the Black-and-Gold Dragon who would choose another Dragon Booster. They foretold that only the new Dragon Booster and the new Dragon of Legend would be able to stop the new Dragon-Human War. Eons passed, and the Dragon Priests once again wait for the One.
