Also, the High Dragon has the following known attacks:
- Chomp: A nearby fighter will be snatched up in the High Dragon's mouth then repeatedly shaken and tossed up in the air. This is a rare attack, but by far the most powerful. It can take about half the health of a well-armored tank. If the High Dragon's health reaches one of its quarter marks, this attack will immediately stop and only partial damage will be taken.
- Fire Breath: The High Dragon spews a far reaching inferno of fire in a forward cone, dealing massive damage.
- Fire Spit: The High Dragon spits out a homing fireball at one of your Party members, exploding on impact. This is significantly less powerful than Fire Breath.
- Roar: The High Dragon lets out a ear-splitting roar, stunning anything near it for a brief amount of time.
- Claw Swipe: This can be performed with both the front or back claws.
- Tail Swipe: This attack reaches 180 degrees to the rear.
- Wing Buffet: The High Dragon rears on its hind legs and gives a single wing flap. The damage from this extends a short distance, but for 360 degrees.
