Trogdor the Burninator is a vicious dragon that is a part of the Homestar Runner series of animated cartoons. Strong Bad created him when a fan email requested a display of his "skills of an artist".
Trogdor does not interact with the rest of the gang, but is featured in an animated short at the end of the "Dragon (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail58.html)" email (which also includes the song "Trogdor"), and he appears in two video games (Peasant's Quest and Trogdor) on the site. Trogdor's nefarious deeds consist of "burninating the countryside", "burninating the peasants" and "burninating all the peoples in the thatched-roof cottages".
Some fans prefer to write his name TROGDOR the BURNiNATOR, as this is the way Strong Bad originally wrote the name on a piece of paper, complete with the uncapitalized "i". The reason that the "i" was uncapitalized is because the font that The Brothers Chaps used, "Ahnberg Hand", does not have a capital "i".
Trogdor has also made an appearance in the preview of a real-life movie made by The Brothers Chaps and their friends. He, however, still remains in animation as he tramples the countryside while "burninating" it all. This movie is the real-life rendition of a game on HSR, Peasant's Quest, which involves a peasant named Rather Dashing seeking revenge against Trogdor for "burninating" his thatched-roof cottage.
An unused 20X6 version of Trogdor, "Trogador", was revealed at the NYU Talk The Brothers Chaps gave 1 March 2005. Trogador bears resemblance to a Chinese dragon.
Trogdor was also mentioned in the final episode of the television series Buffy The Vampire Slayer as a character in a game of Dungeons and Dragons that the cast was playing in the episode.
