Metal dragon

From Dragon Quest Wiki

Metal dragons are a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series that combines the best traits of machine and serpent into a terrifying whole.

Introduced in Dragon Quest V, it is a robotic dragon mass-produced to finish off mortalkind.

Characteristics[edit]

Metal dragons are, naturally, mechanical Dragons. They are quadrupeds, moving about on four legs, with a pair of wings and a metallic tube that appears to act as a tail and neck. They have large jaws which make up about half the size of their heads.

Their heavy, metal-composed bodies add to the power of their attacks, making Metal dragons fierce physical forces. They are known to try and take huge bites out of their enemies or smash them under their front pair of feet.

The first appearance of Metal dragons, though not until nearing the end of the game. They can first be found primarily in the lower reaches of Talon Tower, and then again when the player reaches Nadiria. They are villainous, physically imposing, have high Defense, and will often call Golems in to help.
