Brooklyn (/ˈbrʊklɪn/) is the most populous borough of New York City, with an estimated 2,648,771 residents in 2017. Named after the Dutch village of Breukelen, it borders the borough of Queens at the western end of Long Island. Brooklyn has several bridge and tunnel connections to the borough of Manhattan across the East River, and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge connects Staten Island. Since 1896, Brooklyn has been coterminous with Kings County, the most populous county in the U.S. state of New York and the second-most densely populated county in the United States, after New York County (which is coextensive with the borough of Manhattan).

I can’t draw so I gave it a rough shot of what I mean.

Several valid theories I have been sent on who the Brooklyn dragon is:
- Ord from Dragon Tales
- Dragonite from Pokémon
- Broadway from Gargoyles
- Sparky (NY Islanders)
- the dragon that retired because of how hot Bruno Mars had become Nathan W. Pyle added,
