Can you tame Skull Dragon in Rune Factory 5?

This is a dragon of legends! The answer should be obvious.

Skull Dragon is one of many bosses you can encounter in Rune Factory 5. It appears in the Belpha Ruins: Depths and has a chance to drop many rare items, including Crystal Fragments, Sword Seeds, Shield Seeds, and Dragon Bones among others. Taming it will not get it to produce the items you need, but you will get an amazing monster to aid you in your adventures.

Still, this begs the question: can you tame it? Sadly, the answer is no. Aside from it being a one-of-a-kind beast of Legends, Skull Dragon is just too big to fit in a barn.

Fortunately, Skull Dragon is only one of few bosses that can’t be coerced into a friendship. Fun-sized monsters like the Nine-Tailed Fox and Cerberus can be tamed with the right items.

List of boss monsters you can tame

To tame a boss monster, brush it until the music note icon stops appearing above its head. Then, repeatedly offer it an item it likes until it comes with you. Make sure there’s an open space in one of your barns!
