'''Xenlon''' is an additional post-game boss made for the {{Super Famicom}} version of {{DQ3}} that has since appeared in every subsequent iteration of the title. Xenlon is a green eastern dragon of immense age and magical capability, granting wishes to those able to best him in battle. The divine dragon 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]].

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 for a wish to be granted. Xenlon gets bored with long and tedious fights, which is why he enforces a turn limit for those who fight him. To have him grant the first wish, the dragon god must be defeated within 35 turns. He expresses annoyance at meeting the {{Party 3}} again after the first wish has been granted, and reduces the turn limit to 25. After the second wish is granted, he reduces the turn limit again to 15. Despite this initial irritation, Xenlon will be positively thrilled if he can be bested under his strict turn limit and thank the {{Hero 3}} for an exhilarating battle. Upon beating him, he transports the {{Party 3}} to the outside of the [[Castle of the Dragon Queen]], whether a wish is made or not.

Xenlon is a much more difficult boss to face than [[Zoma]]. His powers matched only by the solitary [[Grand Dragon]], Xenlon is the strongest entity in the game, being immune to every status ailment, including [[Drain Magic]], and can deal devastating damage to the party with his physical attacks, regardless of how much Defence they have. An ideal way to approach this fight is with a full-frontal assault using [[Oomph]] and [[Falcon Blades]]. Specific action attacks will ignore Defence, so don't even bother with [[Kabuff]]. Instead, keep [[Accelerate]] up at all times to make life easier for healers. Also, because Xenlon only has one spell and an equal chance to use any other action, [[Insulate]] is a better idea than [[Bounce]].


Xenlon, for all intents and purposes, makes [[Zoma|that blue-blooded so-and-so]] look like a chump. His powers matched only by the solitary [[Grand Dragon]], Xenlon is the strongest entity in the game, being immune to every status debuff, including [[Drain Magic]], and can deal devastating damage to the party by chewing on them, regardless of how resilient they are. An ideal way to approach this fight is with a full-frontal assault using [[Oomph]] and [[Falcon Blades]]. Specific action attacks will ignore defence, so don't even bother with [[Kabuff]]. Instead, keep [[Accelerate]] up at all times to make life easier for healers. Also, because Xenlon only has one spell and an equal chance to use any other action, [[Insulate]] is a better idea than [[Bounce]].
On the bright side, Xenlon has no resistance to offensive spells, meaning that if the {{Hero 3}} has enough MP, they can cast [[Kazap]] over and over again to whittle down his health. [[Mage|Mages]] and [[Sage|Sages]] should only cast [[Kafrizzle]] when healing and buffing have already been covered for the turn.

Aside from stat boosts, only a few things have changed. Xenlon always acts twice per turn as opposed to only occasionally. He now also has [[Kaswoosh]], [[C-c-cold Breath]], and [[Sandstorm]] as part of his offensive repertoire. Xenlon goes through an attack pattern that rotates every eight turns, with the attacks changing based on how much HP he has left.  
 
Due to system changes, some of the wishes he would grant have been replaced with new choices:

*Up until ''[[Dragon Quest Tact]]'', Xenlon was referred to as female, or otherwise called "it." The ''III'' HD-2D remake is consistent with this by giving him a deep, masculine voice in line with Ortega's and Zoma's.
*Up until ''[[Dragon Quest Tact]]'', Xenlon was referred to as female, or otherwise called "it." The ''III'' HD-2D remake is consistent with this by giving him a deep, masculine voice in line with Ortega's and Zoma's.
*Xenlon serves as an homage to [http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Shenron Shenron] from the ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' franchise, another eastern draconic god designed by [[Akira Toriyama]]. Not only do they look generally similar (the most notable differences being Shenron's glowing red eyes and Xenlon's purple accents), but 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 said aloud by a Japanese person, becomes "シェンロン ''Shenron''"), 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}}.
