The Big Bad is a term originally used in the  series created by Joss Whedon, and applied mostly by fans but also by the show's creators, to describe major villains in a particular season. Since then, it has been used in popular culture to describe annual villains in a television series.

The Dragon is a less common term, used to describe the Big Bad's main enforcer or henchmen.

The television series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in particular, seem to follow this particular tropes, and those are the big bads and their dragons in the different seasons/storylines.
