'''Greygnarl''' is a large gray dragon in {{Dragon Quest IX}}.

He lives high atop [[Upover]] at the summit of the [[Magmaroo]] volcano. He fought the black dragon [[Barbarus]] and the [[Gittish Empire]] 300 years prior to the events of {{Dragon Quest IX}}.

It appears to be a (grayish) white [[wikipedia:Chinese dragon|Oriental Dragon]] winged with wings of a [[wikipedia:European dragon|Western Dragon]].

==={{DQ9}}===
* When the {{Hero 9}} reaches the summit of [[Magmaroo]] to seek assistance from Greygnarl, he mistakenly believes the hero to be a Gittish warrior come to slay him.
*Greygnarl sacrifices himself to stop an attack by [[Barbarus]] targeting the village of [[Upover]].
*Death? A shadow of a dragon appears after a villager in [[Upover]] offers a jar of [[Drunken Dragon]] in the ending scene.

As the fiercest {{Grotto}} boss outside of Legacy Bosses, Greygnarl is a truly dangerous foe. Combining the power of three actions per turn with highly damaging abilities, Greygnarl is a very difficult boss. Not only does he have access to the extremely powerful [[Magic Burst]], but he can also incapacitate your {{Party 9}} members with [[Raging Roar]]. Also noteworthy is his ability to temporarily raise his {{Attack}}, {{Defense}}, and {{Agility}}, as well as preventing the {{Party 9}} from matching his stat boosts by casting [[Disruptive Wave]]. Luckily, unlike members of the [[??? Family]] who have no weapon weaknesses, Greygnarl can be hit for extra damage by [[sword]]s and the powerful [[Dragon Slash]].

==Trivia==
*The war between Greygnarl and [[Barbarus]] seems to be originate from a legend about [[wikipedia:Amur_River|Heilong River (River of Black Dragon)]]; however, the color of evil and good dragons have been switched.
*The name "Greygnarl" indicates his color, as well as his age.
*If you look carefully at Greygnarl in {{Joker 2}}, someone wearing the Dragon Warrior armour is riding him. It is most likely a reference to the {{Hero 9}} of {{Dragon Quest IX}}.
*It should be noted that before Greygnarl is fought as a {{Grotto}} boss he mentions something about "Styrmling" being the third dragon (the first two being himself and [[Barbarus]]). This could possibly be similar to "Stellestria" where as the conductor had a past life as something different. Interestingly enough though this is never explored further.
