The ethereal serpent originates in this game, and can be fought at the [[Tower of Transcendence]], as well as on the overworld map between [[Mur]] and [[Jipang]] and in the dense forest continent where the {{DQ3}} might find an [[Yggdrasil leaf]]. Later on, variants of the {{Dragon}} are encountered, including the divine dragon, [[Xenlon]]. | |||

The ethereal serpent, translated in {{GBC}} releases as SkyDragon, is a [[teleportal]] boss enemy of the [[Dragon family]] at the bottom of the Gate of Wisdom. The ethereal serpent's boss floor design is a reference to the [[Tower of Transcendence]] and the [[Fifer's Spire]], two dungeons in the {{Dragon Quest III}} that utilize tight-rope puzzles like the later Gate of Wisdom. Of note, the first location where ethereal serpents can fought in that game is at the [[Tower of Transcendence]]. Ethereal serpents can be synthesized by breeding a member of the [[dragon family]] with a [[Firebird]]. Of note, the ethereal serpent is necessary for [[Monster breeding|breeding]] it's more powerful color variant, [[Xenlon]]. | |||
