The Green dragon is a rarely appearing monster in the Dragon Quest series that was introduced in Dragon Quest. They are powerful, scaly beasts of legendary status.

In appearance, green dragons are quadrupedal and wingless, their underbellies an orange-brown shade. Like dragons in most other tales, green dragons are powerful, boasting impressive stamina, strength, and resilience, as well as the ability to breath fire.

Monsters series appearances
Only one wild Green dragon can be encountered in the game, guarding a treasure room within Palaish Isle's shrine. It is important to save at a scout post beforehand if attempting to scout this green dragon, seeing as how it does not respawn once defeated.
The Green dragon is a Rank D monster in this game. One can be scouted or synthesized by mixing a Boreal serpent and a Skipper.
