When confronted by the {{Hero 1}}, the Dragonlord offers him the chance to split the world and rule half of it as his ally. This was an unprecedented move for a video game villain in 1986, when most antagonists had either no personality to speak of or theirs was confined to the pages of a manual. By offering to make a deal when cornered by the {{Hero 1}}, the Dragonlord proves that his aspirations are truly political in nature, and not blindly dedicated to chaos for chaos' sake. Indeed, ''[[Dragon Quest Builders|Builders]]'' expands on this, indicating that he's more of a radical activist for {{MFamilies}}s and treats them very well, being seen as a king of kings by them. Additionally he has no desire to exterminate [[human]]ity, but rather wishes for monsters to rule over them the way (in his view) [[human]]s have ruled over {{MFamilies}}s. | When confronted by the {{Hero 1}}, the Dragonlord offers him the chance to split the world and rule half of it as his ally.

In battle, the Dragonlord appears as a humanoid sorcerer who possesses the skill of [[Magic and Abilities|magic]] but is fairly weak, physically speaking. After receiving enough damage, the Dragonlord [[Puff|transforms]] into a more powerful, dragon form (his "true" form). The music also changes to the final battle theme. | In battle, the Dragonlord appears as a humanoid sorcerer who possesses the skill of [[Magic and Abilities|magic]] but is fairly weak, physically speaking.

The {{Hero 1}} can accept the Dragonlord's offer to rule half the world; what happens after that differs between versions. In the {{Famicom}}/{{NES}} release, the Dragonlord mocks the {{Hero 1}} while the menus turn red, the screen fades to black, and the game freezes, implying the {{Hero 1}} has died. In the Japanese {{Famicom}} version, the Dragonlord also provides a special [[Spell of Restoration]] that starts the player off at level 1 with no equipment. In the remakes, accepting the Dragonlord's offer merely causes the {{Hero 1}} to faint and reappear outside [[Tantegel Castle]]. | The {{Hero 1}} can accept the Dragonlord's offer to rule half the world; what happens after that differs between versions.
