Dark Dragon
From American Dragon Jake Long
The Dark Dragon (Clancy Brown) is the #1 threat to the magical community who replaces the Huntsman as the primarily villain, and the only known dragon in history to ever turn evil. Being the Dark Dragon, his color is black and he has red eyes. He also is usually seen in the dark. His 'human form' (if there is one) has yet to be shown. He can conjure dragon-like shadow creatures called Shades to serve as his minions. Few dragons have faced him and lived; the strongest of the many opponents of the protective dragons, including Jake's grandpa. His goal is to assemble an army of evil magical creatures to destroy humanity and take over the Earth. He feels that magical creatures (particularly dragons) are superior to humans, and should be the dominant species of Earth instead and rid the world of humans. It maybe because he sees himself and dragons as powerful and have the right to rule or views humans as inferior and fears they may cause the extinction of his kind (example being the Huntsclan). He's willing to kill any dragon (and any other magical creature for that matter) who gets in his way or doesn't agree with his beliefs (just like the Huntsman).
He appeared twice in the first season, in which he tried to offer Jake, who he seems to have an interest in, a chance to join him during their first meeting. In "Hong Kong Nights", the Dark Dragon is defeated by Jake and his friends and seems to be destroyed, but through the use of a spell, he is brought back to power and returns at the end of "Being Human". In the series finale "The Hong Kong Longs", it is revealed that Chang not only resurrected him but she imbued him with many dark powers. He captured Lao Shi in order to blackmail Jake into betraying the dragons of the world. After the battle that had taken hold, Chang and Bananas B are defeated along with the Shade Demons who are destroyed by Johnathan Long. However, the Dark Dragon has yet to be matched until Rose returns to help Jake and fights him. The temple they are in starts to begin its disappearance for another, according to Fu, 1,000 years. Everyone leaves but Rose is still trapped within. Jake immediately goes to rescue Rose but starts to be pulled into the portal with the Dark Dragon until Rose cuts off the tip of his tail giving her and Jake the chance to escape. The Dark Dragon is then pulled into another dimension where he will be imprisoned for another 1,000 years or at least for the time being. His appearance in Season 1 contrasts his appearance in Season 2. In Season 1, he appeared as a larger, black and purple-colored version of Jake, while his Season 2 appearance is more distinctive and is black and blue in coloring. This is commented on and is explained away by Chang as the fact that she imbued him with incredible dark powers when she resurrected him.
