As the fiercest Grotto boss outside of Legacy Bosses, Greygnarl is a truly dangerous foe. Combining the power of three actions per turn with highly damaging abilities, Greygnarl is a very difficult boss. Not only does he have access to the extremely powerful [[Magic Burst]], but he can also incapacitate your party members with [[Raging Roar]]. Also noteworthy is his ability to temporarily raise his [[Attack]], [[Defense]], and [[Agility]], as well as preventing the party from matching his stat boosts by casting [[Disruptive Wave]]. Luckily, unlike members of the [[??? Family]] who have no weapon weaknesses, Greygnarl can be hit for extra damage by [[sword]]s and the powerful [[Dragon Slash]].

Greygnarl is a boss and character in Dragon Quest IX. Known as the Hero of the Heavens, he is a dragon that lives high atop Upover at the summit of the Magmaroo volcano.

Greygnarl has gone on to appear in several spinoff games both as a boss and as a recruitable monster.

Appearances[edit | edit source]

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit | edit source]

Three hundred years before the events of Dragon Quest IX, Greygnarl helped bring about the fall of the Gittish Empire by defeating the black dragon Barbarus. When the Hero reaches the summit of Magmaroo to seek assistance from Greygnarl, the dragon mistakenly believes the hero to be a Gittish warrior come to slay him and attacks them. Greygnarl sacrifices himself to stop the attack by Barbarus targeting the village of Upover.

  • The name "Greygnarl" indicates his colour, as well as his age.
  • If you look carefully at Greygnarl in Joker 2, someone wearing the Dragon Warrior armour is riding him. It is most likely a reference to the Hero of Dragon Quest IX.
  • It should be noted that before Greygnarl is fought as a grotto boss he mentions something about "Styrmling" being the third dragon (the first two being himself and Barbarus). This could possibly be similar to "Stellestria" where as the conductor had a past life as something different.
