First appearance | Dragon Quest III |
Old localization | SkyDragon |
The Ethereal serpent is a golden Asian dragon, the first of its kind to appear in the series starting with Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation.
Lacking the gracious wisdom of real life Long and Ryu, there isn't much to distinguish it from its European styled contemporaries aside from its slender body and perpetual levitation. In other words, keep looking if you expect your wish to be granted.

The ethereal serpent originates in this game, and can be fought at the Tower of Transcendence, as well as on the overworld map between Mur and Jipang and in the dense forest continent where the Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation might find an Yggdrasil leaf. Later on, variants of the Dragon are encountered, including the divine dragon, Xenlon.

The Ethereal serpent, translated in GBC releases as SkyDragon, is a teleportal boss enemy of the Dragon family at the bottom of the Gate of Wisdom. The Ethereal serpent's boss floor design is a reference to the Tower of Transcendence and the Fifer's Spire, two dungeons in the Dragon Quest III that utilize tight-rope puzzles like the later Gate of Wisdom. Of note, the first location where ethereal serpents can fought in that game is at the Tower of Transcendence. Ethereal serpents can be synthesized by breeding a member of the Dragon family with a Firebird. Of note, the Ethereal serpent is necessary for synthesizing it's more powerful color variant, Xenlon.
