The '''Dragonlord''' is the main antagonist and final boss of the original {{Dragon Quest}}. Before the game starts, he steals the [[Sphere of Light]] from [[Tantegel]] Castle to unleash his forces of darkness upon [[Alefgard]] to fulfill his birthright as the son of the [[Dragon Queen]]; he then kidnaps [[Princess Gwaelin]] to hold her hostage and prevent her father from challenging his new tyranny, as well as to interrogate her on matters regarding [[Rubiss]].

At the end of {{Dragon Quest}}, the {{Hero 1}} defeated the Dragonlord and restored peace to [[Alefgard]].
At the end of {{Dragon Quest}}, the {{Hero 1}} defeated the Dragonlord and restored peace to [[Alefgard]].


==Characteristics==
==Appearance and Personality==
The Dragonlord resides in [[Dragonlord's Castle]] (Formerly referred to in past localizations as [[Dragonlord's Castle|Charlock Castle]]), which is located to the southeast across the water from [[Tantegel]] Castle. Within the castle, the Dragonlord resides on the bottom-most level. Throughout the game, the Dragonlord never leaves the castle, similar to [[Hargon]] in {{Dragon Quest II}}.
The Dragonlord takes the guise of a blue-skinned humanoid wearing a purple king's robe, carrying a wooden staff carved to resemble a dragon with rubies set for the eyes. His true form is that of an up-right, bipedal dragon with purple scales, an orange underbelly, and red osteoderms running down his spine. While around the size of the hero in older versions of the game, the Dragonlord towers over both his subjects and the [[human]]s of [[Tantegel]] in the HD-2D Remake, even in his humanoid form.


While around the size of the hero in older versions of the game, the Dragonlord towers over both his subjects and the humans of Tantegel in the HD-2D Remake, even in his untransformed form.
Being the first villain of the series, the Dragonlord displays several traits that would define the archetypal arch-fiend; he is a vain, power-hungry despot who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, whether it be imprisoning a maiden deep beneath the earth or wiping [[Damdara]] off the map just to make a point. In ''[[Fortune Street]]'', the 2014 Android/iOS port of the original quest, and ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters +]]'', the Dragonlord spoke using the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_we royal we] to denote his position (and vanity) as the king of dragons. This syntax was dropped for the 2025 release of ''Dragon Quest I HD''.


===Personality===
Though appearing brutal and mindlessly savage at first glance, these actions are actually well planned tactics meant to secure the scaley lord's political power in [[Alefgard]]. As mentioned above, the kidnapping of the [[Princess Gwaelin|princess]] is meant to keep the king and citizens from so much as daring to think about standing up to him, and the obliteration of the kingdom's highest [[Damdara|commerce center]] meant that trade with outer lands would be crippled. Indeed, the very fact that the Dragonlord's first move in his plan was to steal the Sphere of Light shows that the would-be despot plans his actions very carefully.

Indeed, the very fact that the Dragonlord's first move in his plan was to steal the [[Sphere of Light]] shows that the would-be despot plans his actions very carefully.
When confronted by the {{Hero 1}}, the Dragonlord offers him the chance to split the world and rule half of it as his ally. This was an unprecedented move for a video game villain in 1986, when most antagonists had either no personality to speak of or theirs was confined to the pages of a manual. By offering to make a deal when cornered by the {{Hero 1}}, the Dragonlord proves that his aspirations are truly political in nature, and not blindly dedicated to chaos for chaos' sake. Indeed, {{Builders}} expands on this, indicating that he's more of a radical activist for {{MFamilies}}s and treats them very well, being seen as a king of kings by them. Additionally he has no desire to exterminate [[human]]ity, but rather wishes for {{MFamilies}}s to rule over them the way (in his view) [[human]]s have ruled over {{MFamilies}}s.

The Dragonlord resides in [[Dragonlord's Castle|his castle]] (formerly referred to in past localizations as Charlock Castle), which is located to the southeast across the strait from [[Tantegel]] Castle. Within the castle, the Dragonlord lurks on the bottom-most level. Throughout the original version of game the Dragonlord never leaves his lair, similar to Hargon in {{Dragon Quest II}}. In the HD version his reclusive nature is explained as him concentrating on harnessing the power of the holy relic and leaving the enforcement of his will to his subordinates.  
 
In battle, the Dragonlord appears as a humanoid sorcerer who possesses the skill of [[Magic and Abilities|magic]] but is fairly weak, physically speaking. After receiving enough damage, the Dragonlord [[Puff!|transforms]] into a more powerful, dragon form (his "true" form). The music also changes to the final battle theme.


The HD-2D remakes of the [[Erdrick Trilogy]] greatly expanded upon the nature of the Dragonlord and his motivations:
{{spoiler|start}}
Longstanding speculation among fans lead many to believe that the Dragonlord to be the son of the [[Dragon Queen]], hatched from the final egg she laid before her passing. This was confirmed in {{DQ1HD}}, where his warped views on [[human]]ity and especially the bloodline of [[Erdrick]] are the result of being raised by [[Hargon]] since infancy. The cultist lied to the young dragon and told him that the fabled Erdrick stole the Sphere of Light from his ailing mother, leading to her premature demise and leaving him orphaned. Several centuries of conditioning have led the Dragonlord to believe he is the rightful ruler of the entire world and taught him to covet the sphere as his birthright, and upon entering Alefgard seizing it is his chief priority. In this version he lacks any interest in Princess Gwaelin whatsoever, not even in her value as a political prisoner, and only spares her life on the request from his [[Mirage|one of his subordinates]], who has its own agenda for the young lady.

===Descendants===
In {{Dragon Quest II}}, a more friendly [[Dragonlord's grandson|descendant of the Dragonlord]] resides in the ruins of his [[Dragonlord's Castle|Castle]]. The child is very proud of his grandfather's attempt at world domination, and is very annoyed at [[Hargon]]'s own attempts, seeing the effort as an upstaging of his family's legacy. He aid's the {{Party 2}} by giving vital information regarding the [[5 Sigils]].

He is a character of core importance as he informs the [[Scions of Erdrick|heroes]] of their need to collect the [[5 Sigils|Crests]] and contact [[Rubiss]]. It is strongly implied by Rubiss that the Dragonlord has been given a second chance and reincarnated as his own great-grandson, with the two sharing their voice actor and certain mannerisms.

Although not specifically mentioned, the Dragonlord inherits [[Zoma's Citadel]] sometime after [[Zoma]] was defeated by the {{Hero 3}} at the end of {{Dragon Quest III}}. Also, according to the ''[[The Emblem of Roto|Emblem of Roto]]'' manga, the [[Dragon Queen]]'s egg is most likely Dragonlord. However, the official guidebook states that the Dragonlord was a [[human]] who discovered he could control {{Dragon}}s, which led to some controversy. In the [[Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake|HD-2D remake]], it is confirmed that the Dragonlord is the Dragon Queen's child and egg, while [[Hargon|the High Priest]] of [[Castle of the Dragon Queen|her castle]] raises him.

*The Dragonlord bears a striking resemblance to Maleficent from Disney's ''Sleeping Beauty'', with both wielding staves, donning flowing, high-collared robes, having abnormally colored skin, yellow eyes, and possessing the ability to transform into large dragons that have purple coloration. Additionally, while it is unclear whether the Dragonlord has horns, a headpiece of some kind, or simply unusually-shaped hair, it is nevertheless similar in appearance to Maleficent's horned headpiece.
