Characteristics

Girthy grand green dragons with massive claws used for mashing enemies and smashing straight into the ground in order to cause outright earthquakes. Their burning breath hits a party of adventurers hard, getting increasingly hot as the battle goes on. They even pack strong wind magic, letting loose with the Kaswoosh spell when they feel threatened.

Trivia

• Despite being named for their obese appearance, the 'lards are not the most proportionally portly dragons. This distinction goes to the jargon.
• Their appearance and coloring in their Dragon Quest Monsters 2 sprite is quite different from other artwork of this monster, this is because it was based on an earlier, non-finalized design.
