• Due to a programming oversight drag racers do not take any extra damage from Dragon Slash, but its palette swaps do.

Dragon Quest X

Drag racer appeared from the beginning of the game. It can still perform Shove and is able to breathe out Chilly Breath and Freezing Blizzard. Starting with Version 5.3, a vicious drag racer can be encountered in the Netherworld and is now able to breathe out C-c-cold Breath.

Dragon Quest Tact

Drag racer appears as a B-rank monster of the Dragon family as part of the original Dragon Quest VII event. It can be scouted on the 4th floor of the stages based on The Tallest Tower in the Whole Wide World. The drag racer can also be scouted as the player climbs to the 9th and 14th floors, with each floor increasing in difficulty. It could eventually be recruited in Part 2 of the main storyline in Chapter 7, Episode 4: Moving On. The drag racer can participate in the Battle Roads of Kiefer, Mont Leonis, and the Sweet troll as a party member.
