Dragon/In Battle

“

⠀⠀It's a beautiful day outside. Birds are singing, flowers are... nah. Even ironically, it's not so much on days like these. And that reminds me. Sponges like you... SHOULD BE EATING AT ARBY'S.„

— Dragon

Dragon is the final boss of Wintale's Freaky route, and his boss fight is not just the most difficult of the entire game, but also the hardest boss fight of any video game that will ever be conceived, period, rivaling the likes of Malenia from Elden Ring, Isshin, the Sword Saint from Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and the Roaring Knight from Deltarune. Every single boss fight from any other video game looks like the Training Dummy compared to this one.

Similar to the Neutral and NPC routes, he waits for SpongeBob/FreakBob in the Last Corridor near Bean Khan's lair, but unlike those routes he doesn't judge the player and instead apologizes to Foo and begins the fight.

On the Neutral route (albeit one where Shimmer's still alive), if the player helps Dragon by helping him "stop doing the bare minimum" in [TBA], his only attack consists of a white sphere that moves comically slow across the screen and nothing else. (after all, he doesn't have any reason to actually hurt you in these routes.)

Trivia

• Word of God has stated Dragon's boss fight is meant to make fun of the average Sans fangame by cranking them up to eleven.
• During Dragon's fight, Serious Mode is activated.
• Dragon's fight is one of two fights in the game to crash the game on purpose, the other being Angela Anaconda. Unlike Angela, who crashes the game during the intro, Dragon(?) crashes the game if he is attacked at the end of his second phase.
• Dragon is the only encounter in the game to not have a visible health bar. It never actually appears at any point in the fight.
• Dragon is also the only boss in the game to have phases.
• Dragon is one of three bosses to mess with the game's interference, the other being Angela and Bean Khan. In Dragon's case, it's hurting the player during the menu in the first phase's second part, while also destroying the FIGHT button and making the MERCY button slowly fall off as the fight goes on in the second phase.
• If the game is closed during the fight, it's counted as a death.
• Dragon is the only encounter to lack a Check description since he prevents the player from seeing it.
• There is technically a Dragon encounter in almost every route (barring both Hard Modes), but the Freaky route is the only one to have a proper fight.
