Green dragon

Revision as of 12:31, 23 March 2026 by Aphelion (talk | contribs)

The Green dragon is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

Green dragons are quadrupedal and wingless, their underbellies an orange-brown shade. Like dragons in most other tales, green dragons are powerful, boasting impressive strength and stamina, as well as the ability to breath fire. A green dragon plays an important role in the story of the first game as a boss guarding the princess under the orders of the Dragonlord.

Appearances

Dragon Quest

Template:DQEnemy While this monster can be found in the overworld, a specific one is guarding Princess Gwaelin in the Quagmire Cave, and must be fought to rescue her. This Green dragon was no different from its brethren originally, but was given a full boss promotion in the remakes. Template:DQEnemy
