The Drakulord is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Drakulords are immense bipedal dragons with huge bellies, small wings on their backs, a singular horn atop their heads, and a massive pair of sharp claws. Their scales are purple and they have beige-colored undersides, a tiny pair of green eyes, and red membrane on their wings. The dragons are able to put their considerable size to use by unleashing devastating quake attacks against puny adventurers who would oppose them. They are able to spew forth flames of scorching heat to incinerate their opponents, as well.

The drakulord's Japanese name Dragon wǔ (ドラゴン・ウー, Doragon・wū?) is a reference to the fifth-level of martial arts, or the dan system, and Wū (五), the Chinese word for "five". A fifth dan in martial arts is senior level or considered a polished expert that can still rise higher in rank. This is referenced to in the drakulord's monster description in Dragon Quest IX.

Description Their HP is so high they're nigh unkillable, they're hard to hurt with earth and fire, and their skills hit everyone. Watch out!

They're named for the fact that they're lords of the lizardly martial arts, but they have the potential to grow even greater.
