'''Dragonlord''', sometimes referred to as '''Dracolord''', is the main villain of ''{{iw|dragonquest|Dragon Quest}}'' and the first major villain in the ''{{iw|dragonquest|Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest}}'' series. He is a powerful sorcerer who can transform into a dragon and once conquered the kingdom of {{iw|dragonquest|Alefgard}}. He makes his first appearance in the ''Super Mario'' franchise as one of the playable characters in ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]''.  

In ''Dragon Quest'', Dragonlord was the ruler of {{iw|dragonquest|Charlock Castle}} and prior to the game he had stolen the {{iw|dragonquest|Sphere of Light}} to allow his evil monster army to invade the kingdom of Alefgard. He then kidnapped {{iw|dragonquest|Princess Gwaelin}} to prevent the {{iw|dragonquest|King Lorik|king}} from organizing a resistance, leading to the nameless {{iw|dragonquest|Hero (Dragon Quest)|Hero}} of the game to beginning his adventure to rid the land of his tyranny and save the princess. Despite his appearance of a physically weak humanoid sorcerer, it was revealed that he was in truth a large and powerful Dragon.

He also appeared as a monster in ''{{iw|dragonquest|Dragon Quest Monsters (series)|Dragon Quest Monster}}'' series and as a playable character in ''Itadaki Street Special''.

The Dragonlord appeared in ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'' where he was portrayed as a dragon at all times. He was often featured as a villain in the series and appeared to be king of all dragons. Unlike in the games, his dragon form is red instead of purple.  Along with some [[Slime (Dragon Quest)|Slime]]s and an AxeKnight (later localized in the US as {{iw|dragonquest|Knight aberrant|Knight Aberrant}}), the Dragonlord is the only character from the game to appear in ''Captain N''.

Dragonlord returns as an unlockable character in the sequel to ''Itadaki Street DS'', ''[[Fortune Street]]'', for the [[Wii]]. He is the third character to be unlocked, and is unlocked by placing first or second on the [[Alefgard]] board in Tour Mode. He still has a similar appearance as in the previous game. This time, however, the area around his robe is lighter in color, the jewel on his necklace has spikes, his hat resembles bat ears rather than horns, and most notably, he now has a visible nose. Many of his quotes are in "Early Modern English", a form of the language that was used by {{wp|William Shakespeare}}.

*While Dragonlord does not appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the final round of [[Hero]]'s Classic Mode route is a reference to him, involving Hero fighting a blue [[Robin]] (referencing Dragonlord's humanoid form) followed by a giant purple [[Charizard]] (referencing Dragonlord's draconic form). Further, the battle takes place in [[Dracula's Castle]], which bears a passing resemblance to {{iw|dragonquest|Dragonlord's Castle}}.
