Dragovians are dragons that take the form of a human. They live in a place called Dragonia. It had remained closed to the outside world until a girl left, then fell in love with the human prince of Argonia. They will sometimes breed with a human, resulting in human-Dragovian hybrids. An example of a hybrid is the hero of Dragon Quest VIII. Dragovians (and half-Dragovians) are naturally immune to curses, such as the curse Rhapthorne placed on Trodain Castle. When they are born, the Dragovian child will be protected by its parents. If the parents aren't able to protect the child, a relative will protect the child. When it becomes an adult, it will find a mate. Dragovians usually don't mate with humans because they hate humans. Xia was the first to mate with a Human. When a Dragovian finds a human that it wants to mate with, it transforms into a human. Because Dragovians are forbidden to mate with humans, the father and child were not allowed to enter Dragonia. The Hero's grandfather, Chui Mein accompanies the party in the form of the mouse Munchie.
