The Hero is then presented with an opportunity to answer 'yes' or 'no'. Answering 'no' results in the start of the battle with the Dragonlord. Answering 'yes' varies between the different versions. In the originals, the Dragonlord will give control of the World of Darkness to the hero, the screen fades to black, and the menus become red, as if the Hero had been fainted/killed in battle. He will also state he will revive the hero if he falls in battle, even giving him a password in the Japanese Version. Gameplay will stop at this point. In the remakes, accepting the offer simply causes the hero to faint, and reappear outside Tantegel Castle. | The Hero is then presented with an opportunity to answer 'yes' or 'no'.

In battle, the Dragonlord appears as a humanoid sorcerer who possesses the skill of magic but is fairly weak, physically speaking. After receiving enough damage, the Dragonlord 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 but is fairly weak, physically speaking.

The Dragonlord appears as a [[Legacy Boss]] in [[Dragon Quest IX]]. His map can only be obtained as a rare drop from [[Greygnarl]] in [[Treasure map IX|grottoes]]. Unlike most other legacy bosses, he does not use magic, relying on breath attacks and physical strikes, and is [[enraged]] by anyone that inflicts a critical hit on him. Note that the Dragonlord is classified under the ??? family, which means [[Dragon Slash]] and related effects do not apply to him. | The Dragonlord appears as a [[Legacy Boss]] in [[Dragon Quest IX]].
