    Nergigante

    An elder dragon recognizable by its gigantic horns, massive wings and the countless spikes that adorn its whole body. This monster is known for its penchant to wreak destruction with little regard for its own wellbeing. Nergigante's attacks are incredibly dangerous, especially when it rears back to slam its arms down or when it soars into the air for a devastating dive attack.
