Czar Dragon

"Flamin' hot, right at ya!"

- Czar Dragon

The Czar Dragon is the boss of the Barrel Volcano and the guardian of the sixth Star Piece in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. He is a fire dragon, and as such, is a master of fire magic. However, he also knows as substantial number of earth magic spells, which he uses to attack his enemies. The Czar Dragon also knows the attack Water Blast (which seems strange, since he is made of fire; however, for some reason, Water Blast is an earth magic attack, not a water magic attack). After Mario and his party defeat the Czar Dragon, the monster immediately returns from the grave as the menacing Zombone.

Trivia

 * The Czar Dragon resembles, and perhaps inspired the creation of, the Boss Hooktail from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and the red Dragon from Yoshi's Story. The Czar Dragon greatly resembles the Blargg species from Super Mario World.
 * In Final Fantasy VI (also by Square), there's an unused superboss of the same name, but in the Game Boy Advance remake was brought back as Kaiser Dragon, still, an exact copy of Czardragon still exist, possibly to avoid bugs.
 * "Czar" is a Russian title meaning "Emperor," derived from the title "Caesar" used during the Roman Empire. "Kaiser," the Japanese name of the dragon, comes from the German word for "Emperor," which was also derived from the title of Caesar.
