Battle[]
Gold Dragon is one of the most powerful dragons, and has an affinity with Thunder. Gold Dragons can be farmed for HP-increasing Golden Apples. They counter any attack with Entangle, which has a chance to inflict Paralyze on a character, and can also attack using the deadly Blitz move, which can take off one tenth of a character's max HP each hit. They are not immune to Sleep.
They can appear alone, in groups of two, or one with a Silver Dragon.
Strategy[]
Using Tornado and then using a simple physical attack will defeat them quickly. Bahamut and Leviathan also work well against them.
