Series lore and name
Metal dragons are mechanical dragons. They are quadrupeds, moving about on four legs, with a pair of mechanized wings and a metallic tube that appears to act as a tail and neck. They have large jaws which make up about half the size of their heads.

Using Metal dragon
Metal dragon sits in the Machine family.
In DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: The Withered World you do not fight beside your monsters — you build the party and command it. Up to four monsters are active with four more in reserve, and synthesis is the main way to raise a keeper: combine two monsters from level 10 and the child inherits the parents' talents, with a Plus Value that can lift it past their rank.
