Flame Dragon enemy line

The Flame Dragon and Fire Dragon are enemies that are battled in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. These monsters, resembling tall, bipedal dragons, are palette swaps of each other and have differing levels of power and defense. There are two similar yet different versions of the Flame Dragon enemy, and both versions are bosses that appear together as one scripted boss encounter.

Flame Dragon (large)
The larger Flame Dragon (フレイムドラゴン) is a huge yellow-bodied level 45 variant with a red face and blue wings. In The Lost Age, only one of this version of Flame Dragon is fought, in Mars Lighthouse, as part of a scripted boss encounter alongside the other version of the Flame Dragon that occurs in a room where you can see the two dragons encased in a huge slab of ice. This boss encounter begins after casting Blaze to create a crack in the ice, then using Burst on the ice slab to break it open. This is a mandatory boss battle that is important to the plot and is relevant to this and this (spoiler warning necessary).

The two Flame Dragons make for a rather powerful and threatening duo that take a rather long time to defeat due to their HP meters. Typical RPG battling logic would dictate that you focus all your attacks on one Flame Dragon until you fell it so that you can more safely battle the other one; the question to consider is which dragon it should be. This Flame Dragon is stuffed with powerful group-damaging attacks that could end up downing some of your party members, but the other one has the effect of putting your Djinn into Recovery mode, making your party statistically weaker and less able to perform summons. (Remember that summons do massive damage to any enemy with a large HP meter like the Flame Dragons.)

This Flame Dragon is especially likely to be affected by Attack-lowering effects. Its statistics are as follows:

Flame Dragon (small)
The smaller Flame Dragon (フレイムドラゴン) is a normal-sized yellow-bodied level 45 variant with a red face and blue wings. In The Lost Age, only one of this version of Flame Dragon is fought, in Mars Lighthouse, as part of a scripted boss encounter alongside the other version of the Flame Dragon that occurs in a room where you can see the two dragons encased in a huge slab of ice. This boss encounter begins after casting Blaze to create a crack in the ice, then using Burst on the ice slab to break it open.

Typical RPG battling logic would dictate that you focus all your attacks on one Flame Dragon until you fell it so that you can more safely battle the other one; the question to consider is which dragon it should be. This Flame Dragon is generally less outwardly powerful, and its healing ability can be said to be negligible, but it has the potentially deadly maneuver of putting your Djinn into Recovery mode, which often temporarily lowers your character classes so that you're sharply less durable and physically capable until the Djinni recovers back.

This Flame Dragon is especially likely to be affected by Defense-lowering effects. Its statistics are as follows:

This Flame Dragon uses the following battle commands with :

Fire Dragon

 * For the Fire Dragon Psynergy, see Wyvern Psynergy set.

A Fire Dragon (ファイアドラゴン) is a normal-sized level 37 violet variant with a dark purple-blue face and light green wings. In The Lost Age, it is randomly fought throughout the dungeon portion of Yampi Desert Cave, though its appearance rate is not as common as other monsters.

The Fire Dragon is easily the enemy that takes the most hits to fell in Yampi Desert Cave, and it is respectably strong as well, but this monster is mainly noted for its desirable random drop and the rarity for the item to be dropped. Because the Fire Dragon does not appear quite as often as other types of monsters, it is all the more popular for Random Number Generator abuse.

The Fire Dragon also has a Psynergy named after it. Fire Dragon, the strongest of the Wyvern Psynergy set when in the Beast Lord class, summons this monster to breathe fire upon three enemy targets.

A Fire Dragon is especially likely to be affected by Defense-lowering effects. Its statistics are as follows:

A Fire Dragon uses the following battle commands with :
