'''Bad Dragon''', also known as '''Bad Dragon Enterprises''' and '''Bad Dragon Toys''', is both the name of a business co-founded and owned by Varka, Narse, Athus Nadorian (who is no longer involved since his death), and Raith, which produces toys of a [[sex|sexual nature]], and a website and social community intended for [[adult]]s.

Bad Dragon's mission statement is to:{{Q|(M)ake fantasies real for people who want to indulge in fantasies of their favorite species either in private or with others.}}

== History ==
[[File:Bad dragon logo.jpg|275px|thumb|right|Old Bad Dragon logo, art by Narse]]
On December 7, 2007, the (yet to be named then) Bad Dragon project was announced by Varka on his website, the [[Herpy Reference Archive]]. At the time, it was just a small side project of Varka's until he began his "research and development" phase.{{clarify}} It officially opened for business on June 6, 2008, and it was showcased at [[Anthrocon]] in 2008.

Bad Dragon originally had extensive character bios for each of their toys, including character art and fictional backgrounds. However, this began to be phased out around 2017 and has now been made as a toggle option for those who have an account with the website.{{cn}}

To capitalize on the release of [[W:Bethesda Game Studios|Bethesda Game Studios]]'s [[W:Action role-playing game|action role-playing game]], ''[[W:Fallout 4|Fallout 4]]'', Bad Dragon released a limited-edition run of [[Deathclaw]] [[dildo]]s.{{cn}} They also changed the theme of their website to a '''''Fallout-theme''''', and even commissioned{{cn}} [[furry musician]] [[Pepper Coyote]] a related accompanying album untitled ''[[Blast Radius]]'', which played upon arrival to the website's front landing page.{{cn}}

=== Other services ===

Bad Dragon owns or sponsors several online [[furry]] services through its subsidiary, '''Dragonfruit Ventures''', including the furry [[adult|mature]] [[image board]] [[e621]], [[F-list]] and [[Inkbunny#Hardware|a cache for Inkbunny]].

They have also provided sponsorship for [[W:car racing|car racing]],<ref>[https://twitter.com/bad_dragon/status/1037387932137488386?lang=en ''We are excited for some great racing at the NASA Nationals at COTA this month!''] post on [[Twitter]].

== Products ==

Bad Dragon's catalog of available toys and products is primarily inspired by the anatomy of real or fictional [[feral]] [[animal]]s. However, in some instances, such as the [[anthro]] varieties, [[human]] characteristics have been incorporated into the toy design.

While Bad Dragon primarily produces [[W:Dildo|dildo]]es and other toys intended to penetrate the user, they also have a range of penetrative toys (colloquially known as '''onaholes''' or '''sex sleeves'''), in addition to water-based lubricant (intended primarily for use with their dildoes' [[cumtube]]s),{{clarify}} silicone samples, and [[W:condom|condom]]s produced by other companies such as [[W:Durex|Durex]] and [[W:Skyn|Skyn]].

Its production facility is located in [[W:Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix, Arizona]], USA, with a small workshop used mainly for research in Scotland.{{cn}}

=== Shipping ===

Bad Dragon ships through [[W:Fedex|Fedex]] and [[W:United_Parcel_Service|United Parcel Service]], so international shipping is costly. Like most sex toy companies, orders arrive in a plain brown box with a return address and the company name is omitted from credit card or bank statements.

== Controversy ==

On March 20, 2024, Bad Dragon issued a [[copyright infringement]] lawsuit ([[ID 2:24-cv-00609]]) against [[sinsaint]], a company from [[W:Brooklyn|Brooklyn]] that also creates [[fantasy]] sexual toys for furries. As per Bad Dragon, sinsaint [[plagiarized]] dildo designs from them while renaming these to avoid scrutiny.<ref>[https://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/funny/spritz-the-seadragon-750241]. Retrieved?.</ref>

Both the hearing and trial will be held by the [[Arizonian district court]].<ref>[https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68361684/bad-dragon-enterprises-incorporated-v-sinsaint-incorporated/ ]. Retrieved?.</ref>
