We seem to have a tradition of using the Homestar Runner [1] character 'Trogdor the Burninator' to request tag deletion.

I thought we could use crisper images, so I made my own. >:)

Who wants to be the first to use these? :) - iglvzx
(11) A Trogdor bat signal? - Robert Harvey
There will have to be a tag 'trogdord" or "burninated" for those that fall to Him - Raystafarian
@RobertHarvey Yes. - iglvzx
(11) Nice! Only devs can completely burninate tags, but the burninator signal will be a nice addition to burnination-request posts. Now that Jeff's leaving, I'm not sure who will be the new trogdor... we'll see! - nhinkle

Shouldn't those images be posted as an answer, instead? - Chris Frederick
(1) @Chris Why yes, they should... which also lets us up-vote multiple times! That said, I couldn't help thinking of Alex Trebek when I read your comment... - Andrew Barber
@Chris Fixed it! - iglvzx

BONUS:

The above were made using a Trogdor reference from an unknown person on the internet, which has some inaccuracies. I went to the source (Strongbad), and retraced Trogdor. This is the real Trogdor, in color, in higher definition:

@YiJiang'sProble_ You do not need to change the kerning. If you watch the cartoon, the text is actually spaced like that. :) - iglvzx
(2) @iglvzx Oh, okay, but it's just that the... bad kerning... must... resist... argh! *stabs eye with pen* - Yi Jiang

This inspired me, so I made some ASCII:

                                   ( ) }
                  "--____            ))
           "      ) -_(        \/   (

@iglvzx's Trogdor is great, sure, but I always imagined trogdor as having a red skin (yes, I have played peasant's quest, but my artistic style is not to be questioned!).

I have also taken on the daunting task of converting our good friend Mr. Troggie into a vector format (SVG), which you can download here [1]: imageDescr

And for those of you who don't have a browser capable of SVG, then here's a PNG render:

Trogdor PNG

Do what you will with this file, and hopefully trogdor can burninate more!
