Dragon Quest XEdit

A Great Argon Lizard first appears as a boss during Version 2, where one attacks Anlucia's amnesiac self on orders from Anlucia the Maluminary, though its attacks are blocked by a light shield that is unknowingly summoned by the seemingly defenseless girl. It is properly fought alongside 3 Pteranodons during a side quest to obtain an Argon heart, since it is a material to make therapeutic drugs.
