Editing Dragon Queen (section)

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The Dragon Queen is a bipedal dragon with green scales and blue wings, and she wears a golden amulet around her neck. She is the monarch of an [[Castle of the Dragon Queen|isolated land]] far east of the village of [[Khoryv]], nestled in a ring of tall mountains. The Queen's court consists of {{Faerie}}s, {{Dwarves}}, and talking animals, all of whom greatly revere her. Unlike the [[Queen of Faeries]], the Dragon Queen seemingly holds no ill prejudice against [[human]]ity. The Queen is soft-spoken but well informed, declaring herself to be a servant of the almighty Goddess. The Queen is seemingly aware of the existence of [[Zoma]] through her act of giving the {{Hero 3}} the [[Sphere of Light]], though she only mentions [[Baramos]]' title of archfiend when stating that the sphere belongs to the Hero through divine right.

Unfortunately, the Queen's life is nearing its end when the player encounters her and the court is stricken with grief. Her final act is to lay a single egg before fading away, which the player can then examine to feel the faint warmth of new life stirring within.

==={{DQ3HD}}===
The Dragon Queen has been resigned to be a quadrupedal dragon with lavender scales, silver horns, and yellow eyes. She is much larger than any human, towering over the {{party 3}} even when she is at rest.

Speaking with the Queen is now a mandatory part of the game, as only the Sphere of Light can pierce the impenetrable miasma that Zoma left to prevent passage into the [[Great Pit of Giaga]] when he briefly entered the world. The player is shown a brief cutscene of the cloudy mists surrounding the Queen's castle clearing on the morning after the slaying of Baramos.

The Queen is tended to by an entourage of priests, with the leader of the group being totally devoted to her and despairing as she approaches the end of her life. He is consoled by his three subordinates, with one priest pointing out that the dragon most holy has watched over the realm through a continuous cycle of rebirth while another states that the Queen's offspring will guide her followers just as she did. These two statements imply that the soul of the Queen is possibly reincarnated through her bloodline and will reemerge into the material world as the child of her own descendant at some point in the future, where as the older versions of the game have no mention of such a rebirth cycle.

The Queen's dialogue has been greatly expanded in this remake, addressing the Hero as the child of [[Ortega]]. She names Zoma directly now and gives the world's savior clear instructions on how to enter the [[Alefgard|Underworld]]. Her life force begins to fade as she speaks, but the Queen continues on and warns the Hero to not underestimate Zoma's strength while bequeathing the Sphere of Light. Having fulfilled her duty, the Queen lays her egg and calmly passes away. The head priest is devastated at her passing and blames his inability to ease her burden; he says the strain of watching over two worlds torn asunder is what brought the Queen to her limits and that if the world were as it ought to be then her life would not have not have extinguished. What the priest means by this is not elaborated within the game, though his monologue during the ending alludes to the [[Hargon|profound influence he will have on the future]].

When [[Rubiss]] is friend from Her petrification in [[Tower of Rubiss|Her tower in the Underworld]] She will note that the hero possesses the Sphere of of Light, musing that She and the realm She created are in the Dragon Queen's debt. How the two know of one another and what this connection implies along with the Dragon Queen's priest sating that she watched over two worlds is left to the player's imagination.

==={{DQStars}}===
The Queen serves the same role she did in the original game, but her appearance has been radically altered to that of a [[human]] woman wearing an ornate headdress and gown. A set of equipment based on her new likeness is available to the player as well, along with several weapons bearing her name.

===''[[Dragon Quest Live Spectacle Tour]]''===
The Queen is played by actress Yoko Takahashi, and by necessity is once again depicted as a [[human]] woman.
