Drago[1] is the sixth boss that Toad faces in Game B of the Round Mode in the NES version of Wario's Woods. It is depicted as being a somewhat large, smug, green dragon.
History[edit]
Wario's Woods[edit]
In Wario's Woods, Drago appears in the fifty-ninth round and has 16 hit points. It has a special attack that involves turning red and spurting fire, turning all on-screen bombs into more enemies. Like the other bosses, Drago can also re-locate itself to different positions of the stage to avoid Toad's attacks and be able to throw enemies around. If it re-materializes on Toad, Drago instantly knocks him out.
Super Mario (KC Deluxe)[edit]
In the Super Mario Kodansha manga, Drago is the last of Fauster's summoned helpers to enter the scene. During the second act of the Wario's Woods volume, Wario's base is near a canyon where the giant statue of Drago stands. Later, when Mario, Princess Peach, and Birdo arrives on the scene, Fauster uses a Diamond to awake the statue. Drago is completely immune to the bombs, but following Chiyōrō-sama's suggestion, Mario uses a cape to fly around it and take the Diamond that awakened it from its head, turning it back to stone and making it crumble to pieces.
Super Mario-kun[edit]
Drago also appears in volume 13 of Super Mario-kun as a machine created by Wario and his monsters. To activate it, Wario transfers part of his personality into it, making it aggressive and cruel, but also insecure of his body, capable of making deadly farts and having a soft spot for the ladies, which is ultimately how he is won over, by using Birdo as a damsel for him to cuddle.
