The Hero is then presented with an opportunity to answer 'yes' or 'no'. When confronted by the Hero, the Dragonlord knows the Hero by name, and says "I am the Dragonlord, King of Kings", then offers him a chance to rule the world by his side. Throughout the story, the Dragonlord never leaves the castle, similar to Hargon in Dragon Quest II. Within the castle, the Dragonlord resides on the bottom-most level. The Dragonlord resides in the Dragonlord's castle, which once was Zoma's Citadel, located to the southeast across the water from Tantegel castle. Doing so, the Builder may see him as a fool, as he says that the offering or the question is the same question that he asked upon the "previous visitor" to darken Alefgard and most likely says "No" starting a fight against him leading to him turning into a fearsome purple dragon (the 2nd stage of the fight), or the Builder gets fooled and says "Yes", likely handing their Sword Of Kings to the Dragonlord, leaving them weak against him and as an end result, the Builder gets killed and gets buried in a crypt most likely the one back in Cantlin. Even in Dragon Quest Builders' last chapter, where it's clear that the Dragonlord cannot be trusted, he still makes the same offer to the Builder, counting upon human nature once again to give him the upper hand. While anyone can see that such would be a devil's bargain to say the least, the temptation is nonetheless offered and shows a side of the Dragonlord that establishes just how skilled a manipulator he is. No greater example of the Dragonlord's willingness to use human nature against humans, however, can be seen than by his offer to the Hero to join him when cornered by the hero, the Dragonlord is willing to split the world between him and the hero and rule it as an ally.
It's revealed in the Dragon Quest Manga and in Dragon Quest Builders that the Dragonlord sees humanity as just as corrupt as his fellow monsters - if not more so and derives intense pleasure from turning its members against one another, seeing what he does as a sort of mercy.Ī skilled manipulator, the Dragonlord is quite good at using people against one another, leading to his corruption of the Golem of Cantlin and its subsequently becoming the fortress city's greatest threat. His tactics in Dragon Quest are often framed as simply being destructive, but the Dragonlord has a cold, calculating streak that is seen often in his behaviors, kidnapping Princess Gwaelin to demoralize the kingdom's rulers, stealing the Sphere of Light in order to deter would-be heroes, and destroying Damdara to destroy the kingdom's ability to fight back against his forces. The Dragonlord is opportunistic, clever, and brutally intelligent, and always operates with a plan. Considering the era of games he originally appeared in, it would have been extremely easy to make him two or even one dimensional, but in practice he shows a depth that belies his rote antagonism. At his core, the Dragonlord resembles an archetypal power-hungry despot: vain, arrogant, and willing to stop at nothing to get what he desires. The Dragonlord is hallmarked by a complex and often adversarial personality. Because he appeared in the first game, his appearance in both forms is iconic, to the point which both versions are often aped or referenced both in Dragon Quest and out of it from the Dragovian Lord assuming the pose of his dragon form during attacks to various parody works and fanworks.
The Dragonlord has two equally-distinctive appearances in-game the former as a blue-skinned robed sorcerer that looks relatively human, and his true form, a massive, purple-scaled dragon far larger than any other.
