The Dread dragon is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in the original Dragon Quest.
Covered in red scales with a blue underbelly, it is the mightiest quadrupedal dragon in the entire combined lands of the Erdrick trilogy. Along with despair-inducing stamina and strength, the red dragon can also cast simple magic.
Fiery both figuratively and factually, they let out a blood-curdling roar before flame-grilling their foes. These walking furnaces have melted many an adventurer's arms and armour, leaving them egregiously under-equipped.

The dread dragon appears as a S-rank monster of the Dragon family, appearing on its own banner alongside Knight Abhorrent. It was eventually added to the normal pool and could be recruited from any banner.
