The Green Dragon is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in the original game, they are powerful, scaly beasts which have a legendary status.
Characteristics
In appearance, green dragons are quadrupedal and wingless, their underbellies an orange-brown shade. Like dragons in most other tales, green dragons are powerful, boasting impressive stamina, strength, and resilience, as well as the ability to breath fire.

While this monster can be found in the overworld, a specific one is guarding Princess Gwaelin in the Quagmire Cave, and must be fought to rescue her. This green dragon was no different from its brethren originally, but was given a full boss promotion in the remakes.
