The '''Great dragon''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}.
The '''Great dragon''' is a monster in the series.
 
Introduced in {{Dragon Quest V}}, it is a large, bipedal dragon covered in gold scales.


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Great dragons are adequately described by their name: they are large {{Dragon}}s with wings, a long tail, horns, and golden scales that add up to make a very grand-looking creature. Due to some similarity in coloration and head shape, some fans theorize that these wondrous wyrms are the adult stage of the [[Small fry]] despite the small fries themselves possibly being in their adult stage already.
Great dragons are large, golden-scaled [[Dragon family|dragons]] with a large pair of wings on their back, a long tail, and horns. They are often able to breathe out devastating fire or ice breath, use their claws, fangs, and tails in powerful attacks, while their scales grant them a high degree of protection against the elements. Due to some similarity in colouration and head shape, it is theorised that they are the adult stage of the [[Small fry]], despite the small fries themselves possibly being in their adult stage already. Their monster description in ''X'' states that they are popular even amongst dragonkind, with small fries aspiring to become a great dragon in the future.
 
The power of the Great dragon is as impressive as its looks. They are normally in command of some of the most potent [[breath attack]]s there are, have excellent strength, and tend to resist many elements. Due to this, great dragons aren't normally seen until the player nears the end of the games they appear in.

Great dragons appear for the first time, though they are not encountered until the player reaches [[Nadiria]]: essentially right before the end of the game. They can be incredibly threatening {{MFamilies}}s thanks to their excellent elemental resistances, powerful fire breath, mighty physical blows, and tendency to call in other great dragons. Lucky players might occasionally recruit a Great dragon, bringing the {{MFamilies}}'s might over to their side.

Reappearing from the first half of 3.5 onwards, the Great dragons focus on damaging the entire party by [[Tail Swing|swinging their long tails]], screaming a [[Total War Cry]], and spewing [[Blessed Breath]] for Light-based damage. Additionally, they have learned to use [[Disruptive Wave]].
