History Characters / DragonQuestX

* FallenHero:[[spoiler:Various stained glass windows seen throughout Version 5.4 and 6.3 showed that he once fought against Jagonuba and his Evil Gods to protect Astoltia before he joined up with the Great Source of Darkness himself to have the Dragon race rule over the other races, and the rest is history. The Hero even encounters his pre-evil self during 6.4!]]

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: A villainous variant, since he takes down Lutiana in a deadly fight despite her reawakening from [[IdentityAmnesia Irusha]] after defeating the Shrine Guardians.

* FormerlyFit: [[spoiler:He once had a slim body when encountered by the Hero in 6.4 of the game, long before he allied himself with his mother's sworn enemy.]]

* ArchEnemy: Personally views Lutiana as this since she got her children safely away from the Jia Kut Clan on the Eternal Cradle, and tried to rule over Astoltia with an army of monsters.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Anlucia breaks through the slab blocking her from the Hero and their Sibling [[InterruptedCooldownHug just when they were starting to understand their true intentions]], allowing Irusha and Nalasia to walk through and Jagonuba summons Daviyaga, the Evil God of Wrath, when the Great Source of Darkness detects his avatar body as well as the avatar body of his arch enemy.

* DevourTheDragon: Absorbs Daviyaga after the Evil God of Wrath is defeated, and later absorbs Megoa and Garzand, the Evil Gods of Wrath and Thirst, during his fight with Lutiana.

* Unperson: After his defeat at the Hero’s hands, he is no longer remembered by anyone in Astoltia.

* VillainiousLegacy: Even after his death and memories of him are erased from people’s recollections, his Shock Seed, combined with the one from Nadragle, opens the door to the Demon Realm, which would eventually cause more pain and suffering for Astoltia, as well as the Demon Realm itself.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Rhapthorne from ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVIII''. Both are ancient evils that were sealed away after a long and bloody battle (Rhapthorne being sealed away in the Godbird Scepter by the Seven Sages while Nadraga was sealed in Nagaland), and both manipulate their stories' respective events to reclaim their bodies (Rhapthorne possessing Dhoulmagus, Jessica, Sir Leopold, and Marcello to murder the heirs of the Seven Sages while Nadraga brainwashes the Hero's sibling to abduct various characters such as Anlucia) What really sets them apart however, is that when Rhapthorne is fully revived, he repeats his plans to conquer the World of Light and merge it with the World of Darkness, while Nadraga wants to destroy Astoila as well as the Dragon race for not supporting him in his ambitions.

The REAL main villain of the game, he is responsible for everything that happens to Astolia, from Maldragora contracting Nelgel to attack Tenton and Nadraga allying with him when his siblings refused to help the Dragon race rule over the others.

* SatanicArchetype: A giant demon who is responsible for all the bad stuff to Astolla? Check. Has an army of monsters and various agents like Pujyu to wreck havoc? Check. Sealed in a temple until Nalasia wanders too close to his body similar to a massive, cold lake of frozen water on which Satan himself is imprisoned until something breaks him free as depicted in [[Literature/TheDivineComedy The Divine Comedy]]? Check. Has hooves and a devilish red body? Check. Lives in a lair that is at the very bottom of the Demon Realm? Check. [[DealWithTheDevil Bounds someone to deals and servitude?]] Check. This villain ticks most, if not all of the boxes, and gives [[Videogame/DragonQuestVII Orgodemir]] a run for his money.

** This also extends to their boss fights as well. While they are faced in small, but powerful sorcerer forms in the first phase, their second phases are different. (Praying to the Godbird Scpetre 7 times to break Rahpthorne's shield of darkness and then fighting him on Empreya, while Nadraga is faced in a long battle [[MarathonBoss totaling 6 phases]] with the various territories of Nagaland as both backgrounds and attacks while his enemies fight him on a big rock platform.
