Looking for an example of a Dragon Lady character from TV/Movies for a Pulp campaign.

"the lizard lady"--from the TROUBLE WITH GIRLS tpb--funny, but fits the bill nicely....

and VIPER, from MARVEL comics

[Major Tom]

Let's see... some examples of Dragon Lady-type characters that come to mind
right now:

The Sarah Douglas character from Conan The Destroyer.

Princess Aura from the original Flash Gordon movie serials.

The Tia Carerra (not sure about the spelling) character from Kull The Conqueror
(at least until she turned into that butt-ugly demon toward the end of the
movie).

If you're willing to look to sci-fi for an example, consider Servalan of Blakes 7. She fills all the characteristics to a tee, complete with a massive case of sexual tension between her and one of the lead characters (Avon) which is legendary to this day.

If the Doctor Who villainess the Rani had any sort of interest in men, she'd qualify.

Star Wars would have been improved immesnely by the addition of a character like that on the side of the Empire.

Having looked at the collection of names that have been put forward causes mr to wonder . What is the collective noun for Dragon Lady's ? A slink perhaps ?

do a google image search of Anna May Wong and you will find your Dragonlady.

Not a pulp movie, but "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" may give you some ideas. I guess I should warn you about the language, violence and (implied) sexuality in the link.
