A giant monster covered in scales. Although it has wings, it cannot fly. It is very aggressive and not very intelligent.

Description

Dragons (ドラゴン, Doragon?) in Final Fantasy Tactics are huge reptilian creatures that rank among the sturdiest monsters. Their shriveled wings prevent them from becoming airborne, but they have a pretty good movement speed. The advanced Dragons can perform elemental attacks through their breath. The Blue Dragon absorbs Ice, and is weak against Fire. The Red Dragon is the opposite and absorbs Fire and is weak to Ice. There is also the Holy Dragon and Dark Dragon.
