The (Japanese: {{hover|かいりゅう|Kairyū}} ''Sea Dragon'') is a [[class]] and subspecies of [[dragon]] that has never made an official appearance in the {{FES}}. While data for the Sea Dragon class is present in {{FE3}}, it is never used, and the Sea Dragon is not present in any form in any other installment. Many of its map animations are still in the game, though only one frame of its idle animation remains. Its moving map sprite resembles a sea serpent in appearance, while its battle sprite is the same as a [[Fire Dragon]]. It can move freely in seas, similarly to [[Pirate]]s.

As it is a dragon class, it may have been intended to be usable as a [[manakete]] transformation; however, no transformation [[Stone (weapon)|stone]] that would allow for such a transformation survives in the game's code, though a leftover name string in the game's debug menu, the (Japanese: {{hover|かいりゅうせき|Kairyū seki}} ''Sea Dragonstone''),<ref>{{Cite web| quote= Evidently, this slot was once intended for a matching dragonstone for the unused ocean dragon class.

No [[Breath (weapon)|breath]] weapon, existing or otherwise, is known to be associated with the class. However, it can use any breath that is cheated into its inventory.

While not coded into the game, a sea dragon boss, known as Neptune (Japanese: {{hover|ネプチューン|Nepuchūn}} ''Neptune''), was planned to be featured in {{FE1}}. It was supposed to attack with tornadoes rather than breath, and its attack animation was intended to have it conjure a spell with its hands.<ref>[http://serenesforest.net/2016/01/07/making-of-shadow-dragon-nes/ Making of ''Shadow Dragon'' (NES) - Serenes Forest]</ref> Interestingly, the Sea Dragon's remaining map sprite data also seems to depict it attacking with tornadoes while moving its hands.
