Background
Physical Appearance
The Dronkeys are small baby donkeys, but unlike most donkeys, they have a pair of red dragon wings.
Appearances
Shrek 2
They first appeared during the ending scene.
Shrek the Third
The Dronkeys were placed in a zoo to be ridiculed for being freaks. They were eventually saved by Donkey and Puss. They are confused when they see that their father has switched places with Puss. At the end, they are shown to be good friends with the ogre triplets.
Shrek the Halls
The Dronkeys made brief appearances throughout the special. Some are seen outside playing with their mother and others are inside playing with the three pigs and Felicia gives her bottle to one of them.
Shrek Forever After
They make brief appearances in the fourth film. They are mostly seen having play dates with the ogre triplets. They are also present at the triplets' birthday party. Like the triplets, they don't exist in the alternate universe because their parents never met.
Video Games
A Dronkey is a secret playable character in Shrek Super Slam. His Super Slam is that he constantly spits fire. The Dronkeys also appear in Dreamworks Dragons: Rise of Berk as limited dragons.
Trivia
- In the commentary for Shrek 2, filmmakers stated that Dragon's storyline was drastically changed during the jailbreak scene, with Donkey as a talking pegasus horse (because Donkey drank the Happily Ever After potion, she changed too). Filmmakers stated that it was just too hard to have her keep the pregnancy a secret when she was talking, plus she had too much to say, so, the idea was nixed, but they did state that she still changed, making her Donkey's official true love.
- Donkey and Dragon's daughter, Eclair, has been missing since the beginning of Shrek the Third. Her whereabouts are currently unknown.
- If you watch the Dronkeys and Ogre triplets carefully throughout the course of the series, one can see that they are aged perfectly in real time, truly showing dedication.
