Silver Dragon, also known as Ging-Ryu, is an enemy in Final Fantasy IV. It appears on the moon in the Lunar Subterrane during the last stages of the story, usually alongside Gold Dragons. The main strategy for beating the Silver Dragon is to simply have everyone attack. Summoning Bahamut or Leviathan can also eliminate the dragon. Silver Dragons may drop extremely valuable consumable items, such as Lunar Curtains.
