The Green dragon is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

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.

While this monster can be found in the overworld, a specific one is guarding Princess Gwaelin in the Quagmire Cave, and must be fought to rescue her. This Green dragon was no different from its brethren originally, but was given a full boss promotion in the remakes.

Sprite Attributes HP Attack Defense Walk Speed Hit Speed EXP Item Drop 100 68 30 1 1 3000 Frequenty

Additional information Locations Mystery: Floors 25-99 Major Mystery: Floors 25-99 Abilities Fire Breath Description The meanest and mightiest monster in the entire Mystery Dungeon. The best strategy for dealing with a green dragon is to avoid encountering one in the first place! They only appear on Floor 25 and below, so you're better off focusing on finding a staircase as quickly as possible once you're down there. If that fails and you do stumble across a green dragon, your next best bet is to run away. Don't do this in a straight line, however–the dragn=on's fiery breath will soon burn you to a crisp. Instead, take the diagonal and flee in a zigzag motion. Finally, if you find yourself with no option but to take one on, make sure that you're using a dragonsbane and dragon shield, ideally upgraded ahead of time. That should give you a fighting chance, at least...
