The '''Dark Druid''' (災いを招く者, ''Wazawai wo Manekusha'', meaning "one who invites disaster") is a class exclusive to [[Nergal]], the final boss and major antagonist of {{FE7}}. A dark druid is a master of all types of magic, which makes them extremely powerful.

Nergal is an extremely powerful dark druid who has mastered all magic. He has the power to drain quintessence, an embodiment of life, from people. He uses this to create morphs, such as [[Limstella]] and [[Ephidel]].  
The Dark Druid follows in a similar mold to the Druid itself, boasting fearsome [[Magic (stat)|raw magical power]], [[HP]], [[defense]] and [[resistance]] as well as good [[Skill (stat)|skill]] and [[speed]]. This class's high stats, combined with the raw power of Nergal's signature tome [[Ereshkigal]], make Nergal a fearsome final boss. The class does have a unique [[Bonus damage|weakness]] to the [[Aureola]] tome, which in the hands of a skilled [[Bishop]] is an effective way to fight Nergal.
 
Unlike most magic users, they have high defense. They actually have high stats in all aspects; if they were playable they would be extremely useful units. However, they are an enemy-only class.

The Dark Druid (Japanese: 災いを招く者 Basiliskglance) is an advanced, enemy-only magical class which appears only in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. This class is exclusive to Nergal, the game's main antagonist and final boss, and is a more powerful version of the Druid class available to the player. It has access to all four types of magic, but in gameplay exclusively uses dark magic.

The Dark Druid follows in a similar mold to the Druid itself, boasting fearsome raw magical power, HP, defense and resistance as well as good skill and speed. This class's high stats, combined with the raw power of Nergal's signature tome Ereshkigal, make Nergal a fearsome final boss. The class does have a unique weakness to the Aureola tome, which in the hands of a skilled Bishop is an effective way to fight Nergal.

Trivia

Pent casts Mend after being turned into a Dark Druid through hacking, demonstrating the class's broken staff animation.
  • Dark Druids are able to use staves but do not have a correct battle animation for them, likely because there was never an anticipated need for Nergal to actually use a staff. When a Dark Druid attempts to use a staff through game modification, his usual standing battle sprite undergoes graphical glitches.
  • The Dark Druid can be seen as an evil counterpart to the Archsage class, belonging to Nergal's former friend Athos.
  • Nergal's stats are the same as the Dark Druid class's base stats, except for his luck, which is 20.
  • In the Japanese version, the Dark Druid shares its name with the title of Nergal's theme in the game's Sound Room. International versions still call the song "Calamity Bringer" even though the class's name was changed.
