==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Great dragons are adequately described by their name: they are large dragons with wings, a long tail, horns, and golden scales that add up to make a very grand-looking creature. Due to some similarity in coloration and head shape, some fans theorize that these wonderous wyrms are the adult stage of the [[Small fry]].
Great dragons are adequately described by their name: they are large {{Dragon}}s with wings, a long tail, horns, and golden scales that add up to make a very grand-looking creature. Due to some similarity in coloration and head shape, some fans theorize that these wondrous wyrms are the adult stage of the [[Small fry]] despite the small fries themselves possibly being in their adult stage already.


The power of the great dragon is as impressive as its looks. They are normally in command of some of the most potent breath attacks there are, have excellent strength, and tend to resist many non-physical attacks. Due to this, great dragons aren't normally seen until the player nears the end of the games they appear in.

Great dragons appear for the first time, though they are not encountered until the player reaches [[Nadiria]]: essentially right before the end of the game. They can be incredibly threatening {{MFamilies}}s thanks to their excellent elemental resistances, powerful fire breath, mighty physical blows, and tendency to call in other great dragons. Lucky players might occasionally recruit a Great dragon, bringing the {{MFamilies}}'s might over to their side.

Reappearing from the first half of 3.5 onwards, the Great dragons focus on damaging the entire party by [[Tail Swing|swinging their long tails]], screaming a [[Total War Cry]], and spewing [[Blessed Breath]] for Light-based damage. Additionally, they have learned to use [[Disruptive Wave]].
