Trogdor the Burninator is a cartoon character from Homestar Runner animated movies. He first appeared in the Strong Bad E-mail "dragon" where "kaizer from california" wanted to know if Strong Bad could draw a dragon. Strong Bad's first attempt fails (he ends up drawing "The S is for sucks"). He tries again (using what he refers to as "Consumate V's") and creates Trogdor the Burninator.
Trogdor in Spacesim Culture
Trogdor has been in Sim Culture at least since witty Spacesim members created their own version of the song and wrote it on the Habitat in the allotted space during Signing the Airlock. The Spacesim lyrics, thought to be written by Stefan De Young, replaces such lines as "Burninating all the peoples and their THATCHED ROOF COTTAGES!" with "Burninating all the astros in their DRYWALL HABITAT!" A handwritten copy of the original lyrics from the the heavy metal song about Trogdor is posted in the Sim Office, but it is inaccurate. Instead of having two "TROGDOR!"s, it has three. Also, some spoken word bits (possibly in the extended version only) are not included.
