The Atari Dragon, humorously dubbed Freakin’ Duck by Strong Bad, is a quirky 8-bit creature from the Homestar Runner universe. Originating from the classic Atari 2600 game Adventure, this dragon is often mistaken for a duck due to its simplistic, pixelated design. In the game Adventure, players aim to retrieve a magic Chalice and place it in the starting castle, encountering dragons like Yorgle, the yellow dragon, along the way. The Atari Dragon first debuted on Main Page 13, where Strong Bad famously exclaims, Somebody get this freakin’ duck away from me! as he is chased by the dragon. This character also appears in “Everybody to the Limit,” personifying Fhqwhgads on the subway, and in the King of Town Main Page when “Game” is highlighted. Its humorous portrayal continues in various episodes, cementing its place as a beloved minor character in the Homestar Runner universe. For fans of Homestar Runner and classic video games, a fanart cursor featuring the Atari Dragon.
