The Green dragon is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

As its name makes clear, the green dragon is a quadrupedal, wingless Western dragon with green skin and an orange-brown underbelly. It has impressive strength and stamina, with a moveset exclusively made of fire-elemental breath attacks.

In the first game, a green dragon is keeping Princess Gwaelin hostage on the Dragonlord's orders and must be defeated so the Hero can bring her back to Tantegel Castle.
