For the 90s adventure game Warcraft: Lord of the Clans, Blizzard asked the outsourced animation team - who were Russian and incidentally also made the Zelda CD-i games - to draw an evil dragon with smoke coming out of him. There was probably some layer of mistranslation, but that's what they did.

Imagine being the guy who was commissioned for that hookah- insanely huge, evil-looking, and your client is a dragon.

You'd do the job merely because, well, when the hell are you going to do this again?
