Talk:Jade dragon
From Dragon Quest Wiki
This page opens with the statement that "The Japanese name for the monster is the same as that used for the original Green dragon". This statement is not true. The Japanese name for this dragon is グリーンドラゴン (Green Dragon), whereas the Japanese name for the original Green Dragon is simply ドラゴン (Dragon).
Both NES and Modern localizations have used the same name "Green Dragon" for both monsters, but as near as I can see their Japanese names have always been different.
