The Grand Dragon is a monster that first appeared in the Game Boy Color remake of Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation. It serves as the definitive superboss, surpassing both Zoma and Xenlon in difficulty.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit]
The GranD Dragon can be found in the deepest level of the GBC Exclusive bonus dungeon, the Ice Cave. In order to make it to the Gran Dragon, The Hero must have the first 155 Bronze Monster Medals, and the first 155 Silver Monster Medals.
The GranD Dragon attacks exactly as Xenlon does. Defeating it for the first time merits it rewarding The Hero with the Rubiss sword. Defeating it in under 18 turns will result in it awarding The Hero with its own Monster Medals. Talking to the Gran Dragon after obtaining all Gold Monster Medals results in it congratulating the player for their hard work, then falling asleep.

The Ice Cave and the monster medal system have been removed from the HD version of the game, with Grand Dragon being relocated to the new Temple of Trials. The method of unlocking the final bonus dungeon remains the same, however.
