Characteristics
Gasbagons are rotund dragons with orange spotted scales, beige undersides, and long tails ending in a cork. They have a singular purple eye, long snouts, and purple tongues. These air-sailing drakes will drop on party members and smother them, dealing heavy damage. They're also capable of flaming the party with a fierce fire. The dragons are also capable of sacrificing themselves by violently exploding to harm parties of adventurers. After their original appearance in VI, gasbagons have only appeared in spinoff games in the series.
