Ramia is a legendary phoenix that plays a prominent role in Dragon Quest III. She is also an obtainable monster in both Dragon Quest Monsters 2 and the Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker sub-series. In each appearance, she is depicted as a being of godly majesty and grace.

Dragon Quest III

When the party first discovers the Liamland shrine, Ramia is only an egg being guarded by a pair of twin sisters. In order to hatch her egg, the hero and his/her party must gather the Six Orbs from around the world and place them on pedestals surrounding it. Once hatched, Ramia serves as the series' first aerial transportation, allowing access to such places as Baramos' castle and the Dragon Queen's castle in the central continent. However, Ramia cannot travel to the World of Darkness, nor can she land where the player cannot walk, such as high mountains and bodies of water.

The theme that plays while riding Ramia is Heavenly Flight.

In the distant past, the Godbird Empyrea assisted the Seven Sages in creating the Godbird Sceptre and sealing away the demon Rhapthorne within it.

Many years later, Empyrea had laid an egg on her eyrie near Empycchu. The egg, however, was stolen by Gemon and taken to the Dark World. Although Gemon was defeated by the party, he managed to destroy the egg before dying. The soul of Empyrea's son remained, however, and became the Godbird's Soulstone, which enabled the party to take to the skies.

After Rhapthorne's resurrection, Empyrea sent the party to collect the orbs containing the spirits of the Seven Sages and gave to them the Godbird Sceptre. She also joined the party for the final battle, allowing them to travel on her wings.

Following Rhapthorne's final destruction, Empyrea carried the party back to Trodain Castle, where she revealed that her true name was, in fact, Ramia. She demonstrates her power to travel to other worlds, fading into the distance as she regales that she kept the name the six sages bestowed upon her out of her respect for them.

When using the Godbird's Soulstone, an ambient version of Heavenly Flight is used.
