The Green dragon is a rarely appearing monster in the Dragon Quest series that was introduced in Dragon Quest. They are powerful, scaly beasts of legendary status.
Characteristics
In appearance, green dragons are quadrupedal and wingless, their underbellies an orange-brown shade. Like dragons in most other tales, green dragons are powerful, boasting impressive stamina, strength, and resilience, as well as the ability to breath fire. These serpents are more feral than most depictions in other media, however, displaying no ability for language or magic. Green dragons are not stupid though, as one plays an important role in the story of the first game as a boss guarding the princess under the orders of the Dragonlord.
