Dragon Quest monster Dragon rider

Art by Akira Toriyama Japanese ドラゴンライダー Romaji Doragon raida First appearance Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen

The Dragon rider is a platemail clad barbarian mounted on a bullhorned dragon encountered near crypts, towers, and within Nadiria.

Because the monster is two separate creatures, they will always act twice per turn and cause double the trouble for players.
