Gadrongo is a boss in Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies. He is a monster sealed inside a statue, and watches over the Wyrmward. When people enter the final room of the Bowhole, he comes alive and test their strength.
A stalwart soul sealed in a statue and bunged into the Bowhole to test contenders in combat when the time came. Wormwood Creekers once thought the wyrmlight bow and Gadrongo were guises of a spirit who watched over the Wyrmward.
