Dragon rider is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series.

Characteristics[]

The Dragon rider is a plate mail clad barbarian mounted on a bullhorned dragon encountered near crypts, towers, and within Nadiria. Because the enemy is two separate creatures, they will always act twice per turn and cause double the trouble for players.
