Maybe i'm looking in the wrong places but I don't ever recall seeing a flightless dragon in western media.

I don't have a copy on hand, but I think the ice dragon in Every Other Day by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is flightless.

(That is not a rec. That book is obnoxious.)

I'm 90% sure that the dragon Prince Lir fights in The Last Unicorn (while trying to woo Amalthea) is flightless. Still fire-breathing, but I'm pretty sure it didn't have wings.

I haven't seen any. Glaurung in Tolkien is flightless. He's described as looking like a worm.

Beat me to it. There were a couple of other flightless dragons in the Silmarillion, weren't there, or am I misremembering?

There probably were. But the two main dragons were Ancalagon and Glaurung. Glaurung was flightless, Ancalagon wasn't (and was also as big as a mountain and really scary).

Temeraire's water dragons are flightless.

I second this rec. :D

How to Train Your Dragon has a flightless dragon species called Speed Stingers.

I even have a fair amount of those books........I can't believe I don't remember that.

(Anonymous) 2016-03-23 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know if they appear in the books at all but they're in the cartoon series.

That explains it - unless it's the movies I don't bother with DW's shows.

All dragons in Norse mythology are flightless. And except for a few, they are also really small, and many live in water. And they are non-firebreathing.

The Bewilderbeasts in HTTYD2 are flightless, semi-aquatic dragons that breathe ice instead of fire.
