He is a green eastern dragon of immense age and magical capability, granting wishes to those able to best him in battle.

Xenlon lurks in Cloudsgate Citadel on the topmost floor. When approached by the Hero and the party, Xenlon will commend them for the effort and offer to grant a wish if they can defeat him in battle. The following wishes are available:
- The Hero can wish for a Guns'n'Buns book, which, when read, changes a male character's personality to Lothario and a female character's personality to Vamp.
- The Hero can wish for a new Tn’T board, which will appear at the bottom of the well in Jipang. In the HD-2D Remake, it is a Monster Arena instead.
- The Hero can wish to revive Ortega from death. He will be returned to the Hero's house in Aliahan.
- In the Game Boy Color version, the Hero can wish for Monster Medals to add to the player's collection. This wish can be made up to three times, each time granting different and rare medals. In the HD-2D Remake, it is instead unlimited Rubiss's swords.
- In the Game Boy Color version, there is a space on the dialogue box that is blank. Selecting it will unlock a new Monster Medal dungeon. The entrance portal to this dungeon is located in Ramia's temple on Liamland. In the HD-2D Remake, it is instead the Temple of Trials.
- In the HD-2D remake, once all wishes are granted, Xenlon will give the player a copy of More Guns n' Buns, an infinite-use Words of Wisdom.
After granting a wish, Xenlon returns the Hero to the Dragon Queen's Castle. If the Hero approaches Xenlon again, he will agree to fight another time. However, he will only grant a wish if he is defeated within a set number of turns. He must be defeated within 25 turns to earn a second wish, and 15 turns for every wish afterwards.

Trivia[]
- In Dragon Quest III, due to Monster Medals being saved automatically, the player can save wishes by defeating him and getting all of his sets of medals, then resetting the game.
- This character is likely a tribute to Akira Toriyama's Dragon God Shenron from the Dragon Ball franchise. Not only does he look extremely similar (the only difference being Shenron's glowing red eyes), he also grants wishes.
