The '''Dragonlord's grandson''' (Dracolord's great-grandson) is a non-player character in ''[[Dragon Quest II]]''.  
The '''Dragonlord's great-great-grandson''' is a non-player character that first appeared in {{Dragon Quest II}}.  


==Story==
==Appearance and Personality==
The Dragonlord's grandson resides in [[Charlock Castle]] and stands in the same location as the [[Dragonlord]] in ''[[Dragon Quest]]''. However, rather than fighting the trio, he instead offers critical advice about defeating [[Hargon]]. In particular, he describes that the [[5 Seals]] must be gathered from around the world of [[Torland]].
The descendant of the [[Dragonlord]] looks identical to his ancestor in most appearances, save for a slight change in his skin tone in {{Tact}}. He wears the same robes and carries a copy of the cane his forebearer used.
Contrary to all expectations, the descendant of the Archfiend is a rather friendly guy who has no interest in conquering the world--though he does have a habit of indulging in his ancestor's reputation as a matter of family pride.  


{{spoiler|start}}
==Appearances==
After Hargon and [[Malroth]]'s defeat, The Dragonlord's grandson suggest that he and the trio be friends.
==={{DQ2}}===
The Dragonlord's great-great-grandson resides in [[Dragonlord's Castle|Charlock Castle]] and stands in the same location where his [[Dragonlord|great-great-grandfather]] stood in {{DQ}}. However, rather than fighting the [[Luminaries|trio]], he instead offers critical advice about defeating [[Hargon]]--he takes personal offense to the mad cultist's ambition of worldly conquest as it infringes on his family's claim to fame. In particular, he describes that the [[5 Sigils]] must be gathered from around the world of [[Torland]], starting with the one in the island [[Lighthouse (Dragon Quest II)|Lighthouse]] south of where [[Cantlin]] once stood.
 
{{spoiler}}
After Hargon and [[Malroth]]'s defeat, the [[Dragonlord]]'s great-great-grandson suggest that he and the [[Luminaries|trio]] be friends. He also muses in giving the {{Hero 2}} and himself nicknames, calling the {{Hero 2}} "My Dearest Dragon Warrior" and declaring himself as "Your Dashing Dragonliness."

{{DQII}}
=== ''[[Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake|Dragon Quest I&II HD-2D Remake]]'' ===
In the HD-2D Remake, the Dragonlord's great-grandson dislikes Hargon for frequently invading his castle and attempting to recruit him to his cause. He shows contempt for Hargon's goals and has taken it upon himself to fulfil his ancestor's duty of watching over the world to ensure its safety.
 
As the current incarnation of the Dragon Queen, the Dragonlord's descendant possesses holy power, unlike his great-grandfather. He is capable of detecting evil and using the Sphere of Light, and gives the heroes Erdrick's sword.
 
In the post-game he can be fought once the party obtains the Sphere of Light and allows him to obtain his true form. The battle plays out similarly to the battle with Dragonlord in that Dragonlord's Grandson has two forms that must be fought one after another, though he proves himself to be a much more formidable opponent. Once defeated, he'll upgrade the Erdrick Sword and Erdrick's Shield into their supreme forms and then inform the party that [[Malwrath|another evil exists]] and that isn't Hargon himself.

===''Dragon Quest II gamebook''===
The [[Dragonlord]]'s descendant has a much larger role in the choose-your-own-adventure book published by [[Enix]] in 1988. He aids the three [[Luminaries]] by transforming into his natural {{Dragon}} form and flying them to the [[Lighthouse (Dragon Quest II)|Great Lighthouse]] in the center of the northwestern sea. He reverts to the humanoid form but refrains from participating in battle as he admits he is a bit of a wuss, though he does cast [[Midheal]] on the group after combat is over. During the ending, the [[Dragonlord]]'s great-great-grandson flies the party directly to [[Midenhall|Middenhall]] and partakes in the victory celebration.
 
Interestingly, if the reader makes poor choices and loses the battle in the great lighthouse then the [[Dragonlord]]'s descendant will sacrifice the magic maintaining his humanoid form to hide the [[Luminaries]] via a sort of [[Morph]] spell. He is unable to take on the form again afterwards, and to avoid continuity errors he exclusively appears in his dragon state during the confrontation with [[Malroth]] and the finale.
 
This gamebook addresses the fan theory of the [[Dragon Queen|Queen of Dragons]] being the mother of the [[Dragonlord]] by having the great-great-grandson mention the Queen in passing and referring to her as "Hihibaa-san" (ひいひいばあさん).
 
==={{DQTact}}===
The [[Dragonlord]]'s great-great-grandson makes an appearances in the {{Dragon Quest II}} event for {{Tact}}. Unlike to his past representations, his physical portrayal actually differs slightly from how [[Dragonlord]] is portrayed, the Dragonlord's great-great-grandson being more purple in skin tone and sporting a warm purple robe and differently designed amulet.
 
==Trivia==
*While his exact familial relationship to the [[Dragonlord]] has changed several times in English releases, he has consistently been labeled as [[Dragonlord]]'s great-grandchild in Japanese.
*In the Japanese versions of {{Dragon Quest II}}, the nickname he gives the {{Hero 2}} is based on the first two to four characters of his name followed by the honorific "chan", while the name he gives himself is "Ryu-chan."
