Dragon Zombie (Crystal Chronicles)

The Dragon Zombie is a huge, undead Dragon that appears as a Boss in Conall Curach, a huge swamp in Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. This enormous beast is frightened by many players to be one of the hardest bosses in the game, especially because of it's magical attacks and it's protection. It has four wings, and lands in the Intro sequence before the fight on a small round bank in swampy water. The player stands on wooden logs from which he hardly can reach the dragon with normal weapons; magic spells are much more effective.

Attacks
The Dragon Zombie hasn't as much attacks to use as other bosses in the game, but the few he has got are more powerful than the most the others got. His main attack is a very strong poisoned breath with which he can smother most of the log the player stands on. The player is only safe in the very right of the logs, and only, if the Dragon spells the breath when the player was at the very left, otherwise the breath reaches the very right, too. It poisons the player for about a minute, and abstracts about a quarter of the full energy.

The second attack he uses is probably the most dangerous and strongest one. It's a white whirlwind that the Dragon pushes towards the player's figure after he jumps in the air and fells down again. This wind may is made of some kind of holy magic; anyway it abstracts more than three quarters of the players full energy. This attack is deadly if there are still Sahagins on the log, which are, of course, immune against the Dragon's attacks, and attack the player right after the whirlwind. Fortunately, this whirlwind whooshes just over a small part of the logs, so the player can dodge it mostly well.

The third attack is a classical jump towards the logs the player stands on; the Dragon tries in this situation to hit the player with it's head. The beast only uses this attack if the player stands to near to his head.

The Dragon Zombie is supported by two little, but strong Sahagins which respawn every minute if they are killed. Especially these two guys can make the battle hard, because there's not much room to go on the logs.

Battle Tactic
The most effective way to battle the Dragon Zombie is to use Sanctus as primary magic. Sanctus destroys the strong, pink gleaming barrier that surrounds the whole beast. Through this the dragon is way more damagable against any attacks, especially Fire. Strong fighters such as Liltys can reach him with lances, too. All others should cast different spells. Spells such as holy are apparently useless against it. Accessorily, the pink barrier recovers itself after one to one and a half minute. Than the player has to cast Sanctus again.
