Are dragons overused in fantasy settings...

Magic is overused, user. We're near Peak Mana!

I think they're overused in fantasy videogames as final bosses.
Other then that, I don't really give a shit as long as it's entertaining.

Dragons in my setting are just animals. Big and strong, yes, but basically just overgrown flying attack newts. You can't tame them - they're a combination of really dumb and really wilful - and they invariably fail to thrive in captivity. They're pests. Incredibly dangerous pests.

Maybe it's because a lot of things are named "dragon_____", but don't actually feature dragons much

reminds me of that dumbass that thought the internet would run out if we kept using it

This. This forever. Dragons are one of the basic elements of fantasy, but they're also so deeply inserted in pop culture they've lost most of their strong symbolism and charm as prime monsters. There are dragons in fuckin' MLP,for God's sake.

Not even as final bosses. Just look at Dragon Age, where you kill multiple dragons per game, usually.

The only good dragon age had them as optional hard bosses and as the end boss

I sort of like the idea that dragons have gotten more friendlier over time. It says something about our growing control of our environment and increasing cooperation.

Sort of like how the gods went from weird animal people to humans, to eventually one human?
