it doesn’t. fantasy-themed is vague enough, sure. primarily for furries is not supported anywhere.

Bad Dragon Enterprises, Inc. is an American manufacturer of fantasy-themed sex toys. Products are sold online and at conventions.

The CEO of Bad Dragon - Jan "Varka" Mulders, also owns the imageboard e621 (and its safe for work database mirror e926) and the role-playing website F-List, both of which also cater to furries.[1]

History

Bad Dragon was founded in June 2008.[2][3] Jan "Varka" Mulders, one of the four co-founders (the others being Brian "Athus Nadorian" Dyer, "Narse", and "Raith"), had begun making sex toys in his university dormitory in Scotland the previous year.[2][4] The company is now based in Phoenix, Arizona.[5]

Products

The company's products are primarily fantasy themed, with the creatures emulated including dragons,[6] horses, orcas, chimeras, and werewolves.[3][4][7][8] The website formerly featured a 'biography' of the characters each toy was based upon, alongside an illustration;[5][6][8] as of August 15, 2017, this feature is only accessible by registered users, with listings for unregistered viewers displaying only pictures of the sex toy in question and details about its physical attributes. Bad Dragon also offers a 3-D interactive model to view certain areas of each toy.

Customers can also submit their own designs, some of which are chosen for limited production.[3]

Bad Dragon is featured in the nerd culture documentary Traceroute.[9][10]
