Dronkey

Dronkey is the het ship between Donkey and Dragon from the Shrek fandom.

Shrek
Donkey meets Dragon when he joins Shrek on the quest to save Princess Fiona from Dragon's Keep. Shrek intends to use Donkey as a distraction while he's going directly to Fiona's tower to save her, but Donkey finds the Dragon asleep and accidently wakes it up. Shrek gets knocked into Fiona's tower by the dragon's tail anyway, but Donkey is left behind. Trying to escape the dragon, Donkey ends up trapped on a bridge when the dragon destroys two of its pillars, leaving Donkey standing on one of them at the dragon's mercy. As a last ditch effort to avoid being eaten, Donkey starts complimenting the dragon's handsomeness. He then swiftly finds out that the dragon is a girl, so he switches to "feminine beauty". Against all odds, this actually works and Dragon ends up falling for Donkey, to the point where she forgets all about her plans of eating him. Instead, she takes him by the tail and carries him to her treasure hoard. When Shrek takes Fiona by the arm and intends to rescue her without any emotional attachment, he overhears Donkey's cries and uses the excuse of having to "save his ass" as a convenient way of leaving Fiona there. He finds Donkey trapped in Dragon's snake-like tail, pleading her not to go through with this (as he's afraid of commitment). Shrek however interprets the situation as her still wanting to eat Donkey and uses a chandelier to knock her on the head to free Donkey. It doesn't work, but she still lets go of Donkey to take care of the new threat, with Shrek tying the chandelier's chain with a sword, allowing for him to escape with Donkey and Fiona in his arms. As Dragon is forced to watch Donkey leave her, she gives an anguished cry of despair.

Later, when Shrek turns on Donkey and Fiona after thinking that they talked about him behind his back, Donkey goes to a nearby river to sulk. Dragon find him there, showing that she managed to break free from the tower, still wearing the chandelier as a kind of leash/necklace. Donkey had thought things over and is now willing to accept her affections as Shrek wants nothing to do with him anymore.

However, that doesn't stop him from showing up at Shrek's swamp to build a wall, like Shrek wanted. When Shrek approaches him to complain, Donkey uses the opportunity to tell him the truth, that Fiona wasn't actually talking about him. Shrek believes him, but realizes that they'll never make it back to Duloc before sunset to stop Fiona from marrying Lord Farquaad. Donkey tells him that he came prepared and whistles his girlfriend over to hitch a ride. On Dragon, they make it to Duloc in a few minutes, with Shrek crashing the wedding by revealing that he had fallen in love with Fiona. As sunset approaches and Fiona didn't get love's first kiss yet, she reveals her ogre form to Shrek, Farquaad and the rest of Duloc, to which Farquaad is so disgusted that he orders his guards to kill Shrek and keep Fiona locked up. Donkey and Dragon arrive just in time to defeat the megalomaniac by having Dragon swallow him whole, allowing Shrek and Fiona to have love's first kiss. They are then seen attending Shrek and Fiona's wedding, to which Dragon catches Fiona's bouquet, with her and Donkey looking at each other affectionately.

Shrek 2
Dragon plays a very small role in Shrek 2. She is only seen on screen in a mid-credit scene, when she arrives with her and Donkey's off-spring. Prior to this scene, she is mentioned once near the beginning of the film. Donkey tells Shrek and Fiona that Dragon has been acting "moody" lately, and he'll take some time away from her by visiting Far Far Away. It is explained by the end of the film that these mood swings were a result of her pregnancy.

Although not appearing on-screen, the filmmakers have stated that when Donkey drinks the Happily Ever After potion Dragon, too, transforms into a more beautiful version of herself. This proves that Dragon is Donkey's one true love.

Shrek the Third
Dragon, again, stays home with the children while Donkey sets off on a quest with Shrek. Donkey seems reluctant to leave Dragon behind, and promises to send her air-kisses every day.

Shrek Forever After
At the start of the film, Dragon is seen flying with Donkey, Shrek, Fiona, Puss and Boots, and the ogre triplets on her back. When she lands at the Far Far Away castle, she and Donkey share a kiss.

In the alternate reality that Rumpelstiltskin creates, dragon is once again the ferocious beast that she was in the first film. Shrek informs Donkey that Dragon is his wife in the reality that he comes from, and tells Donkey to "woo her". Although Donkey is at first scared, he quickly finds Dragon to be attractive. He smiles at her and tries to kiss her, but she eats him instead. Puss helps to free Donkey, and as he flies away he shouts "I'll call you!", insisting that he and Dragon are in love.

Children
Dragon and Donkey have six children. However, Eclair has been missing since the start of Shrek the Third, which is why people tend to only count five children. They were born during the events of Shrek 2, and in the end of the movie meet their father, Donkey. The children are dragon-donkey hybrids (dronkeys). Donkey and Dragon have been shown to be good parents to their children.

Fanon
Much like Shriona, Dronkey has support for being a canon ship. Fans tend to like it because it is one of the few canon cross-species ships to exist in animation. Fans were also pleased that Dragon and Donkey's off-spring ended up being hybrids and not mere carbon copies of one character or the other. On AO3, the ship currently has over 50 works.
