Trogador, a 20X6 version of Trogdor, was first shown during the '05 NYU Talk hosted by The Brothers Chaps. At the time, The Brothers Chaps stated that he was likely never to be used on the site, but nearly a year later he proved them wrong by asking Stinkoman for "some type of birthday challenge" in Happy Trogday. In his first official appearance, he was shown to be far larger than his NYU Talk version.
Trogador bears resemblance to an Asian dragon. The beefy arm that Trogador has is done in the detailed and highly exaggerated style seen in such anime as Dragon Ball Z (Trogador's wristband even resembles the wristbands the show's main character, Goku, wears).
