He is a green eastern dragon of immense age and magical capability, granting wishes to those able to best him in battle. Xenlon later appeared in the {{DQMSeries}} as one of the most difficult {{MFamilies}}s to recruit. | |||

Xenlon's existence is alluded to three times in the game after [[Zoma]] is defeated: the first by the [[Aliahan]] Castle scientist who is researching the fable of a wish granting dragon, the hint-giving prisoner in the same castle, and by a {{Faerie}} standing next to the pillar of light in the [[Castle of the Dragon Queen]]. | Xenlon's existence is alluded to three times in the game after [[Zoma]] is defeated: the first by the [[Aliahan]] Castle scientist who is researching the fable of a wish granting dragon, the hint-giving prisoner in the same castle, and by a {{Faerie}} standing next to the pillar of light in the [[Castle of the Dragon Queen]]. | ||
He is found at the top of [[Cloudsgate Citadel (bonus dungeon)|the castle in the sky]], sleeping at the summit. He can be battled multiple times in order for a wish to be granted. To have him grant the first wish, he must be defeated within 35 turns. Though he will express annoyance at meeting the {{Party 3}} again after the first wish has been granted and reduce the turn limit to 25. In some versions of the game with 3 or more wishes available, after the second wish is granted, he will reduce the turn limit again to 15. Upon beating him, he will transport the {{Party 3}} to the outside of the [[Castle of the Dragon Queen]] whether a wish is made or not. | |||

He has immunity to every status debuff, and even [[Drain Magic]], so the only way to approach this fight is with a full frontal assault with [[Oomph]] and [[Falcon blade]]s. His specific action attacks like chewing on a character will ignore defence, so don't even bother with [[Kabuff]]. Instead, keep [[Acceleratle]] up at all times to make life easier for healers. Also, because Xenlon only has one spell and an equal chance to use any of his actions, [[Insulatle]] is a better idea than [[Bounce]]. | ||

[[Mage|Magi]] and [[Sage]]s should only cast [[Kafrizzle]] when healing and buffing have already been covered for the turn. | ||

*This character is likely a tribute to [[Akira Toriyama]]'s Dragon God [http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Shenron Shenron]. Not only do they look extremely similar (the only differences being Shenron's glowing red eyes and Xenlon's purple accents), they also grant wishes. In addition, the kanji for Shenron's name in ''Dragon Ball'' is 神龍 (meaning "god dragon"), which can be read as "''shen long''" in Mandarin Chinese (which, when the Chinese reading is said aloud by a Japanese person, becomes "シェンロン ''Shenron''" - the same as his name in ''Dragon Ball''), whereas it is read as "しんりゅう ''shinryū''" in Japanese, the same as Xenlon's name in the Japanese version of {{Main Series}}. | *This character is likely a tribute to [[Akira Toriyama]]'s Dragon God [http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Shenron Shenron].
