Volga

Volga (ヴァルガ, Varuga) is an original character in Hyrule Warriors.

Role in Game
Volga is the Dragon Guardian of the Eldin Caves, his duty to protect it from outside forces while ruling his monster followers and allowing the Gorons to mine there. When Cia first became corrupted by Ganondorf's influence, she entered the Eldin Caves to enlist his help. When he refused to aid her willingly, she corrupted his mind with her dark powers to serve her, acting as one of her main generals alongside the sorcerer Wizzro.

Volga is fought four times in Legend Mode; in Hyrule Field at the beginning of the game, during the first battle at the Valley of Seers, in Skyloft during Link's quest to seal the Gate of Souls, and in the Valley of Seers again during the Hyrulean Army's final battle with Cia's forces.

Development
Volga's design is based on the dragon Volvagia from Ocarina of Time. Designers purposely made him look as inhuman as possible, so that when players encountered him, they would instantly know he was an incarnation of Volvagia.

Personality
Confident in his own might, Volga constantly searches for strong opponents while leaving behind a trail of carnage. He would stop at nothing to obtain victory.
