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 Oriental Dragon winged with wings of a Western Dragon.

  • 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 members with Raging Roar. Also noteworthy is his ability to temporarily raise his Attack, Defense, and Agility, as well as preventing the party 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 swords and the powerful Dragon Slash.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • The war between Greygnarl and Barbarus seems to be originate from a legend about 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 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.
