{{nihongo|Mercurius|メルクリウスの扉|Merukuriusu}} is the Latin name of the Roman god [[wikipedia:Mercury (mythology)|Mercury]]. In Japan, it is used instead of the English {{nihongo|Mercury|マーキュリー|Mākyurī}}. Mercury is the god of financial gain, commerce, eloquence, messages, communication (including divination), travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery, and thieves; he also serves as the guide of souls to the underworld and the "messenger of the gods". | {{nihongo|Mercurius|メルクリウスの扉|Merukuriusu}} is the Latin name of the Roman god [[wikipedia:Mercury (mythology)|Mercury]].

Dragons in ''Drakengard'' are referred to as {{nihongo|messengers of God(s)|神の遣い|Kami no tsukai}}. In ''Drakengard 3'', it is revealed that dragons are the only beings capable of killing the flower.
