The Dragonlord (King Dragon, DracoLord) is the main antagonist and final boss of the original Dragon Quest. Before the game starts, he steals the Ball of Light from Tantegel Castle, and plots to unleash his forces of darkness upon Alefgard; he kidnaps Princess Gwaelin for unknown reasons, and set one of his dragons to guard her. It is also interesting to note that the Dragonlord looks much like "Sleeping Beauty's" Maleficent, who also turns into a dark purple dragon.
At the end of Dragon Warrior, the hero defeated the Dragonlord and returned peace to all of Alefgard.
Characteristics
The Dragonlord resides in Charlock castle, which is located to the southeast across the water from Tantegel castle. Within the castle, the Dragonlord resides on the bottom-most level. Throughout the game, the Dragonlord never leaves the castle, similar to Hargon in Dragon Quest II.
When confronted by the Hero, the Dragonlord offers him a chance to rule the world by his side. The Hero is then presented with an opportunity to answer 'yes' or 'no'. Answering 'yes' causes the screen to fade to black as if the Hero had been fainted/killed in battle. Answering 'no' results in the start of the battle with the Dragonlord.
In battle, the Dragonlord appears as a humanoid sorcerer who possesses the skill of magic but is fairly weak, physically speaking. After receiving enough damage, the Dragonlord transforms into a more powerful, dragon form (his "true" form). The music also changes to the final battle theme.
Descendants
In Dragon Warrior II a somewhat more friendly descendant of the Dragonlord resides in Charlock Castle.
