Boreal serpent

From Dragon Quest Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Boreal serpent is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest III. They are a stronger, blizzard-spewing recolor of the ethereal dragon encountered earlier in the game. Boreal serpents can be found on the icy overworld continent of Leiamland as well as in the overworld approach to Baramos' Lair and within the Palace of Baramos.

Characteristics

Boreal serpents have the appearance of traditional Chinese dragons, with a long, blue serpentine body and four limbs. They have scales running down its back, ending in feathers at the end of its tail, a pair of antler-like horns on top of its head, and three smaller horns on either side of its face, all colored purple, as well as green eyebrows. The serpents also have a pair of long blue whiskers. In battle, they frequently make use of their ice-cold breath to freeze adventurers solid.
