When the party first discovers the [[Rimland]] shrine, Ramia is only an egg being guarded by a pair of twin sisters. In order to hatch her egg, the hero and his/her party must gather the [[Six Orbs]] from around the world and place them on pedestals surrounding it. Once hatched, Ramia serves as the series' first aerial transportation, allowing access to such places as [[Baramos]]' castle and the Dragon Queen's castle in the central continent. However, Ramia cannot travel to the [[Alefgard|~~World of Darkness~~]], nor can she land where the player cannot walk, such as high mountains and bodies of water.
