[[Image:czardragon.gif|right|frame|Czar Dragon: Leader of the [[Blargg]]s?]]The '''Czar Dragon''' is the boss of the [[Barrel Volcano]] who also protects the sixth [[Star Piece]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. He is a fire dragon, and as such, is a master of fire magic. However, he also knows as substantial number of earth magic spells, which he uses to attack his enemies. The Czar Dragon also knows the attack [[Water Blast]] (which seems strange, since he is made of fire; however, for some reason, Water Blast is an earth magic attack, not a water magic attack). After [[Mario]] and his party defeat the Czar Dragon, the monster immediately returns from the grave as the menacing [[Zombone]].

The '''Czar Dragon''' is a dragon made out of many [[Lava Babble]]s and the boss of the [[Barrel Volcano]], who is guarding the sixth [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star Piece]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]].

The dragon is physically strong and uses a small variety of powerful magic, most notable of them [[Flame Wall]]. It will also summon [[Helio (Super Mario RPG)|Helio]] to kamikaze-strike the party, similar to [[Punchinello]]. In the end, the dragon falls, but it promptly rises from the grave as [[Zombone]]. [[Mario]] and friends must fight an even more difficult battle, but prevail and acquire the Star Piece, only to have it snatched by the [[Axem Rangers]].


The Czar Dragon looks similar to the [[Blargg]] enemies from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. As such, it is rumored that the Czar Dragon is the king of the Blarggs. In fact, the word czar is an imperial Russian title that means emperor (literally Caesar).
"{{wp|Tsar|Czar}}" is a Russian title meaning "Emperor," derived from the title "Caesar" used during the Roman Empire. "Kaiser," the Japanese name for the dragon, comes from the German word for "Emperor," which was also derived from the title of "Caesar". The Czar Dragon resembles the [[Blargg]] species from ''[[Super Mario World]]''.
