| One-time hero of the skies who watched over the world from up over Upover. Not too fond of Celestrians for some reason. This lizard lord of light chased the Empire out of Upover three hundred years ago, and they've never forgotten the slight.

The hero of the skies, back from the dead after his supposed slaying, and more mind-blowingly mighty than ever.
It was Barbarus the dark who brought back Greygnarl the light, his second brother after Styrmling the sacred.

Trivia
- The war between Greygnarl and Barbarus seems to be originate from a legend about Heilong River (River of Black Dragon); however, the color of evil and good dragons have been switched.
- The name "Greygnarl" indicates his color, and that he is old and retired.
- If you look carefully at Greygnarl in Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 someone wearing the Dragon warrior armor is riding him. It is most likely a reference to hero of Dragon Quest IX.
- it should be noted that before Greygnarl is fought as a grotto boss he mentions somthing about "Styrmling" being the third dragon (the first two being he and Barbarus).This could possibly be similar to "Stellestria" where as he had a past life as something different. Interestingly enough though this is never explored further.
