The '''Dragooner''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest IV}}. It is a knight that patrols the demon world on the back of its trusty dragon steed.


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Dragooners are warriors clad in dark pink armour mounted on the backs of purple winged [[Dragon family|dragon]]s. They wear horned helmets with a visor that obscures their eyes, their long purple hair flowing in the wind. In their right hands, they wield longswords while they use their left hands to hold on to the reins that control their mounts. Their dragons have curved horns like a bull and solid orange eyes. As the monster is two separate creatures, rider and mount often have the ability to act twice in a single turn. The dragons are able to send parties of adventures to sleep with sweet-smelling breath or exhale ice-cold blasts to freeze them solid. Their dragon mounts also gives them a vulnerability to dragon-slaying measures such as the [[Dragonsbane]] or [[Dragon Slash]].


Deadly dragonic dark knights that dash across the battlefield to lash out with dragon slash swipes and call on cure slimes to facility their frighteningly effective Full heal spell. Dressed in deceptively bright and bold colours, these dastardly devilish knights give the game away with their arcane glowing evil eyes and a surprise desperate attack that deals tremendous damage to awe struck adventurers.

}}*If a dragooner is sparkling, its [[Horse and monster riding|mount]] can be ridden after defeating it in battle. The dragooner's mount allows the player to fly freely in the air by flapping its wings, allowing for movement in all three dimensions. In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version and 2D modes of the ''Definitive Edition'', the mount allows the player to traverse across large holes and can move freely between floors by riding on air currents.
