The Dragovians are an intelligent race of half-human, half-dragons in the world of Dragon Quest VIII, though little of them can be found out by the player until after the game's end.

Characteristics[edit]

The standard Dragovian isn't far off in appearance from a normal person; the difference in their human forms comes from their ears, which terminate into small dragon frills. They can apparently turn into full-fledged dragons, though their lord is the only one seen in-game to do this.

Dragovians aren't very fond of humans, despite being part-human themselves, and the single known Dragovian society is cut off from the rest of the human world.

According to some ancient chronicles, the Dragovians fought against Rhapthorne, only to result in nearly being wiped out.

Dragovian and Dragovian Related Characters[edit]

  • Hero - The hero of the game turns out to be half-Dragovian, thus possibly one-fourth dragon. Very little in the game hints to this prior to the post-completion events regarding the Dragovians, except maybe the Dragon Soul attack ability if obtained prior to said events.
  • Xia - The hero's mother, a Dragovian female that fell in love with the Argonian prince Eltrio.
  • Chen Mui - The hero's grandfather, and father of Xia, who decided to follow the hero in the form of a mouse, Munchie.
  • Lord of the Dragovians - The one who presides over the Dragovian race. He is incredibly powerful, possibly more-so than even Rhapthorne, and is also the one responsible for placing a curse on the hero to seal away his memories of his original home, an act that would make him immune to all other curses.

  • A muscular, elderly hermit living in a shack atop the Waterfall Cave near Farebury is a Dragovian. While he lacks the frill-ended ears of Dragovians, he dresses similarly, seems to know what (or possibly who) Munchie is, and tells of how popular cheese is back where he hails from and how he always gets too much pushed on him when he goes to visit, this cheese affinity being something the player becomes quickly familiar with during the events involving the Dragovians. He can offer these same cheeses to the hero, which can then be used in battle by the hero to enable Munchie to unleash breath moves. An extra cutscene will play if the Hero visits his hut after Chen Mui's identity is revealed, where the hermit confirms his true identity.
