Dragonlord: Difference between revisions

Line 27:

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, 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 monsters and treats them very well, being seen as a king of kings by them. Additionally he has no desire to exterminate humanity, but rather wishes for monsters to rule over them the way (in his view) humans have ruled over monsters.

In battle, the Dragonlord appears as a humanoid sorcerer who possesses the skill of [[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.
