The Black Dragon is a boss appearing in Final Fantasy II 's bonus quest, Soul of Rebirth. It guards the Wyvern Lance, Ricard's ultimate weapon within Soul of Rebirth. It can also be found as a normal random encounter on several floors of the Unknown Palace.
In 20th Anniversary Edition, it appears as the boss of the Arcane Labyrinth's Southern Keep if the player has learned more than 12 main story Key Terms.
It attacks with powerful physical blows, and uses Flare XVI to deal massive damage to a single target. The Black Dragon has high defenses and no weaknesses, and can be quite difficult to kill. As it does not resist Changeable element, a level 8 or higher Teleport has a high chance of defeating it instantly.
It is the only source of the Holy Lance (the strongest generic Spear), the Dragon Shield (one of the strongest shields) and the Black Garb (the strongest Agility-boosting body armor) within Soul of Rebirth. It also drops the Dragon Armor, a strong heavy body armor.

Chromatic dragon is a classification of dragon in the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons who are typically of evil alignment, in contrast to the metallic dragons, and their queen is Tiamat. White, black, green, blue and red dragons are the classic chromatic dragons. Final Fantasy has derived a lot of influence from D&D, especially the early series. Black dragons are the most vile-tempered and cruel, and breathe acid.
