Dawnless White Dragon

The Dawnless White Dragon is a major antagonist in Final Fantasy Lost Stranger. An infamously powerful monster with a destructive reputation behind, it is a dangerous quest target with a very high reward on its head, although no party that has faced it has ever been close to successful in defeating it.

Appearance
The Dawnless White Dragon is a large reptilian creature. It is quadrupedal and resembles the European Dragon on design. His body is bright and some segments seem to be covered in armor, while others in crystal.

Personality
Not much is known about the Dragon's personality, other than its extremely destructive and aggressive nature. These traits combined with his might, make him a fearsome creature who lays waste and death around it.

Story
The Dawnless White Dragon's past is unknown other than its infamy for the danger it represents. Several adventurers even in parties have attempted to defeat it, but none have come close to it, while others have died trying. At some point Sharuru Linkingfeather's party faced it but were unable to so much as damage it and were forced to flee for their lives.

The monster appears before their party again now in the company of Shogo Sasaki and Yuko Sasaki as they attempt to save a girl as a civilian reported her to be in danger. Sharuru's party shares their experience with the monster with the siblings and recommend to give up on saving the girl and await for stronger adventurers to come. Yuko quotes Zidane Tribal in her desire to help without a reason and rushes to save the girl. The rest of the party attempts to distract the Dragon so Yuko can save the girl but are eventually spotted. Shogo uses his information detection ability to discover a weakness on the terrain and shoots an arrow to cause a crack and make the land crumble. Yuko is able to throw the girl to the party, but before she can jump to their side she's mauled by the beast causing fatal injuries and subsequently perishes, leaving a Soul Crystal behind.

Later during a camp as Sharuru's party hint that Shogo's visual ability may in fact be Libra, a spell of legend, this reignites his belief that such spells exist and if so then Raise may also exist and be used to revive Yuko. In order to find more about this, they decide to gather sufficient money to ask information broker Gread Treid, the party tries to find a reasonable quest, only to find out that the Dawnless White Dragon's reward has been increased to 20 million Gil and a major expedition by the Adventurer's Guild is scheduled to hunt it.

As Shogo's party is fighting monsters and struggles with a Coeurl, the Adventurer's Guild aces find them and chastise them for their weakness, while taunting them that if they seek to join the expedition they should at least be able to defeat a Coeurl. Eventually Shogo and his friends attempt to hunt and find one causing mayhem to farm stock. Shogo shoots a Bomb Arrow at the beast, greatly injuring it and allowing the party to defeat it, earning their right to join the expedition. An old man in a cloak warns the adventurers to not fight the Guardian of the Mountain fearing for their life and believing that if it is the dragon of legends, then they will not succeed.

The expedition begins and true to the old man's words, the Adventurers are facing a dire situation.
