Dragonlord

"This proud and mighty beast rules over all the dragon clans of the world with a high and haughty hand."

- Dragon Quest IX bestiary Dragonlord is the main villain and final boss of Dragon Quest I (sometimes called Dragon Warrior I), the first in a series of classic role-playing videogames of the same name. He stole the mystical Ball of Light in order to flood the world with demons and monsters while also kidnapping Princess Gwaelin for unknown reasons.

Although he appears as a wizard for the majority of the game his true form is revealed to be a large purple dragon which is probably where his name, as well as the reason of the series' name come from.

One should be wary when the Dragonlord asks the hero to join him as it could cause a game over if the hero replies "yes". After that the battle starts.
