===Background===
===''Itadaki Street DS''===
In ''Dragon Quest'', '''Dragonlord''' was the ruler of [[dragonquest:Charlock Castle|Charlock Castle]] and prior to the game he had stolen the [[dragonquest:Sphere of Light|Sphere of Light]] to allow his evil monster army to invade the kingdom of Alefgard. He then kidnapped [[dragonquest:Princess Gwaelin|Princess Gwaelin]] to prevent the [[dragonquest:King Lorik|king]] from organizing a resistance, leading to the nameless [[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.
Dragonlord is one of the playable characters in ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]''. Items called '''Dragonlord Hat''', '''Dragonlord's Robe''' and '''Dragonlord Staff''' are collectible items that can be equipped on customizable characters.


He also appeared as a monster in ''[[dragonquest:Dragon Quest Monsters (series)|Dragon Quest Monster]]'' series and as a playable character in ''Itadaki Street Special''.
===''Fortune Street''===
Dragonlord returns as an unlockable character in ''[[Fortune Street]]''. The player can unlock him by placing first or second on the [[Alefgard]] board in Tour Mode, and Dragonlord is the third character to be unlocked overall. Dragonlord looks mostly the same as in ''Itadaki Street DS'', except 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}}.

==Profiles and statistics==
He 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 Axe Knight (later localized in the US as [[dragonquest:Knight Errant#Knight Aberrant|Knight Aberrant]]), the Dragonlord is the only character from the game to appear in ''Captain N''.
