A massive dragon who makes his home in a lair situated on the pass south of the Forest of Death. He's best known for his unexpected friendship with the village of the Big Tree, which started after he heard about Hiraku Machio's victory over a wyvern. Rather than hold a grudge, he decided to reach out and establish good relations with the villagers instead.
The dragon became genuinely hooked on the food and wine the village had to offer—fans often note how this simple indulgence transformed him from a solitary mountain creature into a regular visitor. In exchange for their hospitality, he started using his size and strength to help out, delivering goods to the village's trading partners and offering valuable gifts. It's a pretty wholesome arrangement, really: a dragon gets fed, the village gets a powerful ally and improved trade routes.
