The Green dragon is a rarely appearing monster in the Dragon Quest series that was introduced in Dragon Quest. They are powerful, scaly beasts of legendary status.
In Japanese, they are simply known as "Dragon", and one plays an important role in the story of the first game as a boss fight guarding the princess, so this monster could be said to be the namesake of the series.
Characteristics
In appearance, green dragons are quadrupedal and wingless, their underbellies an orange-brown shade. Like dragons in most other tales, green dragons are powerful, boasting impressive stamina, strength, and resilience, as well as the ability to breath fire.
Main series appearances
Dragon Quest
| Green Dragon (ドラゴン Doragon) |
While this monster can be found in the overworld, a specific one is guarding Princess Gwaelin in the Quagmire Cave, and must be fought to rescue her. This green dragon was no different from it's brethren originally, but was given a full boss promotion in the remakes.
