The '''Dragonlord's great | The '''Dragonlord's great-great-grandson''' is a non-player character that first appeared in {{Dragon Quest II}}. | ||
== | ==Appearance and Personality== | ||
The Dragonlord's great | The descendant of the [[Dragonlord]] looks identical to his ancestor in most appearances, save for a slight change in his skin tone in {{Tact}}. He wears the same robes and carries a copy of the cane his forebearer used. | ||
Contrary to all expectations, the descendant of the Archfiend is a rather friendly guy who has no interest in conquering the world--though he does have a habit of indulging in his ancestor's reputation as a matter of family pride. | |||
==Appearances== | |||
==={{DQ2}}=== | |||
The Dragonlord's great-great-grandson resides in [[Dragonlord's Castle|Charlock Castle]] and stands in the same location where his [[Dragonlord|great-great-grandfather]] stood in {{DQ}}. However, rather than fighting the [[Luminaries|trio]], he instead offers critical advice about defeating [[Hargon]]--he takes personal offense to the mad cultist's ambition of worldly conquest as it infringes on his family's claim to fame. In particular, he describes that the [[5 Sigils]] must be gathered from around the world of [[Torland]], starting with the one in the island [[Lighthouse (Dragon Quest II)|Lighthouse]] south of where [[Cantlin]] once stood. | |||

After Hargon and [[Malroth]]'s defeat, | After Hargon and [[Malroth]]'s defeat, the [[Dragonlord]]'s great-great-grandson suggest that he and the [[Luminaries|trio]] be friends. He also muses in giving the {{Hero 2}} and himself nicknames, calling the {{Hero 2}} "My Dearest Dragon Warrior" and declaring himself as "Your Dashing Dragonliness." | ||

===''Dragon Quest II gamebook''=== | |||
The [[Dragonlord]]'s descendant has a much larger role in the choose-your-own-adventure book published by [[Enix]] in 1988. He aids the three [[Luminaries]] by transforming into his natural {{Dragon}} form and flying them to the [[Lighthouse (Dragon Quest II)|Great Lighthouse]] in the center of the northwestern sea. He reverts to the humanoid form but refrains from participating in battle as he admits he is a bit of a wuss, though he does cast [[Midheal]] on the group after combat is over. During the ending, the [[Dragonlord]]'s great-great-grandson flies the party directly to [[Midenhall|Middenhall]] and partakes in the victory celebration. | |||
Interestingly, if the reader makes poor choices and loses the battle in the great lighthouse then the [[Dragonlord]]'s descendant will sacrifice the magic maintaining his humanoid form to hide the [[Luminaries]] via a sort of [[Morph]] spell. He is unable to take on the form again afterwards, and to avoid continuity errors he exclusively appears in his dragon state during the confrontation with [[Malroth]] and the finale. | |||
This gamebook addresses the fan theory of the [[Dragon Queen|Queen of Dragons]] being the mother of the [[Dragonlord]] by having the great-great-grandson mention the Queen in passing and referring to her as "Hihibaa-san" (ひいひいばあさん). | |||
==={{DQTact}}=== | |||
The [[Dragonlord]]'s great-great-grandson makes an appearances in the {{Dragon Quest II}} event for {{Tact}}. Unlike to his past representations, his physical portrayal actually differs slightly from how [[Dragonlord]] is portrayed, the Dragonlord's great-great-grandson being more purple in skin tone and sporting a warm purple robe and differently designed amulet. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*While his exact familial relationship to the [[Dragonlord]] has changed several times in English releases, he has consistently been labeled as [[Dragonlord]]'s great-grandchild in Japanese. | |||
*In the Japanese versions of {{Dragon Quest II}}, the nickname he gives the {{Hero 2}} is based on the first two to four characters of his name followed by the honorific "chan", while the name he gives himself is "Ryu-chan." | |||
