Virages on moon

Virage arising from the Moon That Never Sets.

Virage (ヴァラージ, Varāji, "Varaz") were creatures of an alien appearance used by the Winglies during the Dragon Campaign in the same way that humans used Dragons. Their origins are unclear, as they are not explicitly mentioned as a species originating from the Divine Tree.

Appearance[]

Virage have massive forearms and enlarged heads and clawed feet. They have the elongated feet common to four-footed animals and consequently what looks like a reverse joint on their knees, which are actually their ankles. All of this adds up to an alien appearance. Their have large wings hidden from view most of the time, but are unfolded to fly. Their powerful legs jump them into the air, whereupon they tuck their bodies and legs under the wings. Although the two large "holes" on the sides of their heads look like eyes, their actual eyes are the small, green circles in the center of their head.

The Super Virage is a much more powerful subspecies of the Virage with greatly different, asymmetric body shapes, with a large crane-like arm on their right side, a small, slim and long head with several eyes on the side and one large eye in the middle at the end of their head, as well as "horns" to the left and the right. Their left arm -if it can be called an arm- are flat shaped, and their lower body has a center around which tentacle-like appendages gather.

Battles with Virage[]

Virages are first encountered in Volcano Villude, with an incomplete form. Later, a second one is fought in the Valley of Corrupted Gravity with a complete form. During the course of the adventure, two more are battled, but these are Super Virage. Before fighting them, Shana is "called" by them, possibly because of her being the Moon Child.

In battle, a Virage is composed of several attacking body parts. These parts are the Head, the Arm(s), and the Body. Each part is attackable, and each part can be destroyed, but the Head is the only part that the party is required to kill for the fight to end (except in the case of the Super Virages which can also be killed by killing its Body). Destroying the Body does not kill the Virage itself, but it can make the fight easier by removing some of the Virage's attacks. The Arm(s) are the easiest part(s) to destroy, but they regenerate after a few rounds. Removing the arms can also remove some attacks that makes the whole battle a lot easier.

Wounded Virage[]

The Wounded Virage is encountered in Volcano Villude. It is the first Virage seen and fought by the party. It is awakened by the presence of the Dragoons or the Moon Child, it is unclear which. It lost both its legs and its right arm at some point, forcing it to remain immobile or drag itself with its large left arm. Despite its disabilities, it is still a formidable opponent, and should be considered as the stronger boss in Volcano Villude. After the fight, Dart destroys it permanently by forcing it to sink into the lava.

This encounter establishes Shana's connection to the Virage, though at this point in the story it is not known why.

Complete Virage[]

A Virage is once again fought in the Valley of Corrupted Gravity. This time, the call is even more powerful than before, causing Shana to cower in fear and warn the party away from approaching it. It is awakened by the party and a battle commences. This Virage has a few abilities the wounded one was lacking, such as a more powerful laser and an attack that causes a character to die instantly ("Can't Combat").

Scarred Super Virage[]

The scarred Super Virage in the Forbidden Land.

The first Super Virage fought is found in the Forbidden Land, the former Wingly capital Kadessa. It is presumably the same one seen in Rose's flashbacks of the Dragon Campaign. It survived Kanzas's suicide blast, although just barely, and may be half dead, using "lives" to keep itself fighting. When it is found Rose notes the large scar left by her comrade over 11,000 years ago and it begins to awaken due to the party's presence. Although powerful, it is still mortally wounded, horrifically mutilated and will die after ten rounds automatically. This Super Virage cannot use the powerful planetary attack a fully-fledged super Virage can use, nor can it safely use the array of lasers it could formerly use. However, if it is not defeated in 10 rounds it will use the laser array as its final attack. Using the lasers destroys it.

Complete Super Virage[]

The complete Super Virage.

The Complete Super Virage is a true monstrosity. It is extremely deadly, possessing a laser array for a left arm and massive cannon on the right. This, combined with a massive tolerance for punishment and high resistances to magic, makes it one of the most powerful foes in the game. It is encountered on the Moon that Never Sets.

The Virage Embryo[]

See also: Virage Embryo

The Virage Embryo, called the "true Virage" by Zieg, is the 108th and final species to be born from the Divine Tree and is the God of Destruction, destined by the creator Soa to destroy and purge the world. In order to prevent their destruction, the ancient Winglies seperated its body from its soul. The plot to give birth to the 108th species plays a major part in the story of The Legend of Dragoon.
