'''Puff!''' (originally localized as '''BeDragon''') is a spell in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]] series. It transforms the user into a dragon, during which they will automatically attack with deadly claws and assorted breath weapons until the effect wears off. It should not be confused with [[Puff Puff]].

==Appearances==
===[[Dragon Quest III]]===
Puff! is learned by both [[mage|magi]] and [[sage]]s at level 34. It is worth noting that the flame breath used in the dragon form negates the defenses of metal monsters, instantly slaying any that linger long enough to be hit by it. The spell also reduces the caster's agility considerably.

Damage output depends on the foe's resistance to fire, differentiating the seminal spell from it's subsequent appearances. The possible damage output is 170~190, 136~151, 102~113, and 85~94.

===[[Dragon Quest IV]]===
Puff! is learned by [[Maya]] at level 30, and by [[Psaro]] at level 49. When cast, the user alternates between breathing fire and ice upon all foes, dealing 80~100 damage. The transformations lasts for 6~9 turns. In the original version the flames would pierce the defences of metal slimes, but this property has been removed from the PSX remake (as well as later titles).

===[[Dragon Quest V]]===
The transformation takes effect immediately in this instalment, immolating all foes with flames for 65~85 damage for 6~9 turns. The caster is now also granted an immunity to [[Sizz]]-family spells and fire breath while transformed.

[[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|The Hero]] can achieve the benefit of the spell through the use of the [[Dragon staff]] as an item in battle.

===[[Dragon Quest VI]]===
Puff! can only be obtained by mastering the [[Monster Master]] vocation.

Unlike in earlier installments, this transformation only uses [[Flame Breath]] and [[Chilly Breath]]. The effects of the spell last for the usual variable of turns.

===[[Dragon Quest VII]]===

==Etymology==
The word Puff is a reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puff,_the_Magic_Dragon| Puff, the Magic Dragon], a song written by Leonard Lipton and Peter Yarrow in 1963.
