The '''Dragonlord''' | The '''Dragonlord''' is the main antagonist and final boss of the original ''[[Dragon Quest]]''.

The Dragonlord is unimpressed with the [[Builder]], stating they are nothing more than but a mere puppet of [[Rubiss]]. Privy to the Goddess' forsaking of the Builder near the end of Chapter four, he attempts to use this schism and uncertainty to cloud the child's mind when he is bested in his humanoid form. Offering half the world, the Dragonlord states that the Builder's role in Rubiss's scheme has ended and they should now allow themselves to be a slave to one that has already abandoned them. Whispering with a forked-tongue, he sweetens the deal by ''promising'' the land the Builder will inherit will not be one of ashen darkness that Alefguard has become, but one of light where they may build their own kingdom as they see fit. If the Builder refuses the offer, the Dragonlord points out that if they fail to defeat him then all the towns, villages, and friends they have made will be rent asunder. | The Dragonlord is unimpressed with the [[Builder]], stating they are nothing more than but a mere puppet of [[Rubiss]].

The Dragonlord is mentioned in passing by a crew member of Captain Whitebones' ship but otherwise he does not make any appearance. However, the player can unlock his throne if they have a save of Dragon Quest Builders on the same system, allowing them to temporary take his appearance whenever they sit on the throne. | |||

*The Dragonlord bears a striking resemblance to Maleficent of Disney's ''Sleeping Beauty'', with both wielding staves, donning flowing, high-collared robes, and possessing the ability to transform into large, purple dragons. Additionally, while it is unclear whether the Dragonlord has horns, a headpiece of some kind, or simply unusually-shaped hair, it is nevertheless similar in appearance to Maleficent's own horned headpiece. | *The Dragonlord bears a striking resemblance to Maleficent of Disney's ''Sleeping Beauty'', with both wielding staves, donning flowing, high-collared robes, and possessing the ability to transform into large, purple dragons.

*The Japanese only Dragon Quest 25th Anniversary Adventure History Book states Dragonlord is related to the Dragon Queen, though due to the language used it is unknown if he is her son or a descendant further down the line. | |||
