Background[edit]

Czar Dragon was a monstrous dragon formed out of a group of Lava Babbles grouping together within the heart of Barrel Volcano.

According to his Monster List entry, the statues were made in an attempt to assuage his temper, but the likeness was off and ended up making Czar Dragon even angrier. Czar Dragon resembled a red dragon with Fire Babbles acting as his limbs.

In Super Mario RPG, Mario's group found and battled Czar Dragon while searching for the sixth of the seven Star Pieces. Czar Dragon was defeated and fell into the lava, but it instantly resurfaced as Zombone. Zombine resembled a skeletal dragon with arms and a longer tail, as well as wearing robes. Zombone was even more powerful than Czar Dragon, but it was still ultimately destroyed by Mario's group. After the battle, Mario's group found the Star Piece, only for the Axem Rangers to steal it away.

  • Czar Dragon - HP: 1400, Attack: 160, Defense: 100, Magic Attack: 120, Magic Defense: 70
