| Japanese | ドラゴンライダー |
| Romaji | Doragon raida |
| First appearance | Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen |
The Dragon rider is a platemail clad barbarian mounted on a bullhorned dragon encountered near crypts, towers, and within Nadiria.
Because the monster is two separate creatures, they will always act twice per turn and cause double the trouble for players.
