As a Card

The Black Dragon is one of the sturdiest cards, as well as the most flexible. It is capable of wiping most foes within a few hits.

The one issue however comes from the fact that the Black Dragon's health is tied to that of its user. When it takes a hit, both the monster and the player receive the damage. Healing cards, like Water Bird, are basically mandatory if a player wishes to make use of this card.

Profile Descriptions

Card Profile

"An Independent type creature. The Black Dragon has both staying power and an extremely lethal attack. The only downside is that any damage taken by the dragon will result in the summoner losing hit points."

Monster Profile

"Long ago, the God of Destruction created the Black Dragon as the ultimate weapon. Its attack is devastating; its vitality without equal; and it is virtually immune to special damage attacks."

Trivia

The in-game card art for the Black Dragon differs from the official art of its card.
In RUNE, the Japanese version of Lost Kingdoms, the Black Dragon's dialogue is written entirely in katakana. This could be to show that the Black Dragon is speaking with an accent or in a language different from what is spoken by other characters in the game.

{{Card_Template}}The Black Dragon (Japanese: ブラックドラゴン, Black Dragon) returns in Lost Kingdoms II. It retains both the Neutral attribute and the Independent type. It is one of the strongest Independent cards in the game, though it comes at a high cost to the summoner.

The Black Dragon appears as large, petrified figure, blocking the path through the Krasheen Mountains. It speaks to Tara, asking her for help and promising her power in return. Upon freeing the Dragon from its stone, however, it runs rampant, acting as the stage's boss.

During normal play, the Black Dragon is the source of Tara's first flying Transform card and it is also part of the Level Bonus for the Krasheen Mountains.

Defeating it is the key to finishing the level.

Other Black Dragons can be found as powerful regular enemies in Level 19 of the Proving Grounds.
