(ドラゴンゾンビ)ĭragon scale for reinforcing dragon weapons.

As an aside, the Undead Dragons we encounter are actually called “dragon zombies”. This extends to Seath being called a “true Undead” by Logan. For that reason, it is used to refer to the Undead curse as well as the dragons’ stone scales of immortality. Undead is literally “non-dead” and so has a double meaning of “undead” and “immortal”. Even now the Duke’s Archives is a forbidden castle no one approaches. The Archives became a prison and made a place for horrible experiments. He became ally to Great King Gwyn, obtained the name of Duke, and was given the freedom to seek, immersing himself in the research of scales of undeath, which he lacked, in the massive Archives… But, that research eventually drove him mad. Now, nobody dare even approach the duke’s forbidden Archives.īy the way, do you know about the white dragon Seath? It is said in legend that he’s a traitor to the archdragons. At the Regal Archives, he immersed himself in research on scales of immortality, the one thing that he did not have… But his very research drove him mad… The Archive became a dungeon, a place for sinister experiments. He became Lord Gwyn’s confidant, was granted dukedom, and was allowed to pursue his research.

Have you heard of Seath the Scaleless? In legend, he turned against the ancient dragons. This particular species of dragon is described as literally “nondecaying”, (朽ちぬ) but this more or less means physically or metaphorically immortal. Ultimately, these two species predate Fire and so are named after the age they originate from. (古木) For the sake of simplicity, I will use these terms. (古竜) This is translated inconsistently throughout the localization, but later games come to adopt the term “archdragon” similar to how “archtrees” came to be used for the “old trees”. The original dragons are denoted as their own species of “old dragons”. Quotes include the official English script, my translation, and the official Japanese script in that order. It is based on a series of reddit posts from April 2018. This post covers everything relevant to dragons as far as the localization is concerned.
