Synopsis
Harry, Hairball and the Bigfoot clan come across a dragon, who has been frozen in ice. The Bigfoot clan thaw him out, and it turns out he's quite friendly, and is looking for the grail. Meanwhile, Raptor, who has been kicked off a movie he was meant to star in, is told by Demitri to get the dragon. Raptor beams down, whilst Felicia goes to where the dragon is.The dragon finds them fighting, and when Raptor claims he can help the dragon locate the grail, the dragon sides with him. Raptor also claims Pyron and the other Darkstalkers are evil.
Pyron has his ship brought down into the Earth's atmosphere, but he, Demitri and Morrigan realize that Raptor has betrayed them. Raptor has the dragon attack the ship and get inside it. As the dragon enters Pyron's collection bay to look for the grail, Raptor locks himself on the bridge, and starts broadcasting his demo tape to the entire world. Pyron manages to block his signal, and Ship attempts to regain control, but Raptor damages him. Pyron manages to have Harry and Felicia beamed up, having learnt from Morrigan that the dragon can only be reasoned with by someone who is innocent of soul.
Raptor tries to get things back under his control, only to make the situation worse when he activates the ship's self destruct sequence. Harry talks to the dragon, and convinces him that Raptor lied. The dragon realizes that Harry is a descendant of Merlin, and goes back to confront Raptor. Pyron and the others regain access to the bridge, and Pyron is able to deactivate the self destruct just in time. Everyone wants to beat up Raptor, but he manages to beam down back to Earth with the dragon.
Pyron thanks Harry and Felicia for their help, and has them beamed back down -but says they'll be enemies next time they meet. On Earth, Raptor has managed to get back into the movie business, but now he's a stuntman. His scene has him take the place of the main actor, so the dragon can breathe fire all over him. Irv reckons he could get Raptor off this picture, but Raptor doesn't want to give up showbiz!

-During this shot, Raptor's right leg is colored the same shade of blue as his skin.

-When Raptor walks up to Arnie's car, his eye colors are reversed again for a few frames.
-Just before the first commercial break, the dragon is seen smashing out of the ice. However the dragon is seen later on smashing through the ice again just after Raptor's "I'm Raptor!" line.

-Felicia's outfit is colored olive instead of purple during this shot.
-When Demitri and Morrigan explain to Raptor about the dragon, this shot of Raptor is shown a couple of times, and it uses the wrong background -Raptor is meant to be on Pyron's ship, but the background used is filled with snow.

-Raptor's pants are colored like his skin for this shot.
-The self destruct button moves around before Raptor presses it.
-The self destruct button is also on a flat panel, but when the shot changes, the panel has changed position.
-Somehow, once Harry befriends the dragon, Pyron suddenly regains access to the bridge.
-When the actor walks off and Raptor walks on, they both overlap the stage light.
-The dragon's flames also overlap the stage light.
