Though brutal and mindlessly savage at first glance, these actions are actually well planned tactics meant to secure the scaley lord's political power in [[Alefgard]]. As mentioned above, the kidnapping of the [[Princess Gwaelin|princess]] is meant to keep the king and citizens from so much as daring to think about standing up to him, and the obliteration of the kingdom's highest [[Damdara|commerce center]] meant that trade with [[Torland|outer lands]] would be crippled. Indeed, the very fact that the Dragonlord's first move in his plan was to steal the [[Sphere of Light]] shows that the would-be despot plans his actions very carefully. | Though brutal and mindlessly savage at first glance, these actions are actually well planned tactics meant to secure the scaley lord's political power in [[Alefgard]].

When confronted by the {{Hero 1}}, the Dragonlord offers him the chance to split the world and rule half of it as his ally. This was an unprecedented move for a video game villain in 1986, when most antagonists had either no personality to speak of or theirs was confined to the pages of a manual. By offering to make a deal when cornered by the {{Hero 1}}, the Dragonlord proves that his aspirations are truly political in nature, and not blindly dedicated to chaos for chaos' sake. Indeed, ''[[Dragon Quest Builders|Builders]]'' expands on this, indicating that he's more of a radical activist for {{MFamilies}}s and treats them very well, being seen as a king of kings by them. Additionally he has no desire to exterminate | When confronted by the {{Hero 1}}, the Dragonlord offers him the chance to split the world and rule half of it as his ally.

In battle, the Dragonlord appears as a humanoid sorcerer who possesses the skill of [[Magic and Abilities|magic]] but is fairly weak, physically speaking. After receiving enough damage, the Dragonlord [[Puff|transforms]] into a more powerful, dragon form (his "true" form). The music also changes to the final battle theme. | In battle, the Dragonlord appears as a humanoid sorcerer who possesses the skill of [[Magic and Abilities|magic]] but is fairly weak, physically speaking.
