Shadow Dragon (Final Fantasy IV 2D)

The Shadow Dragon is an enemy in Final Fantasy IV that is summoned by Golbez. After locating the Crystal in the Dwarven Castle, and defeating the Calcabrina, Cecil and his party are interrupted by Golbez and forced to battle him. Golbez immediately paralyzes the entire party and then calls forth the Shadow Dragon. All members of the party are defeated by the Shadow Dragon's Black Fangs attack except for Cecil. Rydia suddenly shows up, now an adult, and summons the Mist Dragon. Rydia's Eidolon defeats the Shadow Dragon instantly, and Cecil and his friends can then deal with and defeat Golbez. However, Golbez still manages to escape with the Dwarves' Crystal.
