Dolan is a recurring character and boss in the Mana series. It is part of the eight Benevodons, a group of fearsome & powerful creatures who once laid waste to the world. Dolan rules over the moon element.
Background[edit]
Since time immemorial, Dolan roamed the land of Fa'Diel along with its seven other siblings, causing chaos and destruction on their path. When the Mana Goddess came upon Fa'Diel, she wielded whe Mana Sword to the horrible beasts and sealed them into their respective Mana stones. Then, she transformed into the Mana Tree deep inside the Sanctuary where the blade laid on her knotted feet. Meanwhile, the benevodons waited in slumber for aeons until Mana power began to wane as the Mana Tree started to wither.
History[edit]
Trials of Mana[edit]
The shift in Mana was further accelerated by evil factions around the world longing to wield the Mana Sword's power. An emissary of the Goddess was sent from the Sanctuary to the human world in hope of finding someone suitable to defeat the enemy and restore the world back in shape.
A Chosen one was selected by Faerie to gather the elementals and wielding the fabled blade against the evil forces who sought to release Mana power contained within each stone to open the portal to the Sanctuary of Mana. Aided by their comrades, their ultimately failed to prevent their enemy to use the sword to break the seals on the Mana Stones, ushering a new era of despair. Faerie pleaded the party to defeat each benevodon before they combine into an indestructible chimera and they started venturing all over Fa'Diel to locate them.
Dolan waited atop the Chartmoon Tower to ambush the party, but was ultimately overwhelmed by their power despite its own might.
The Dolan's Ring can be found near the benevodon's lair in the remake. It reduces moon-elemental damage inflincted by enemies by half.
Children of Mana[edit]
The recent Mana Surge turned Dolan into a Malevodon by combining it with Zable Fahr to create Thaydol. The atrocity was summoned by the Mana Lord in the Fiery Sands to impede on the protagonist's progress, but was eventually defeated, turning the two benevodons into their original states.
Some time after the incident, Luna told the protagonist to ask Dolan about various topics concerning the world. The hero headed back the Mana Tower to meet with the spirit of the moon and had their questions answered.
At the end of the game, the eight benevodons joined forces to seal Illusia Isle from being found in the mortal realm. It is hinted that the island is was becamed of the Sanctuary of Mana in Trials of Mana.
An optional quest only accessible by completing the game makes the protagonist warp deep into the Cosmic Rift to meet with the eight benevodons for the last time. They gift them the ultimate Gem called Mystic Blessing.
Heroes of Mana[edit]
Roget and crew discovered the Mana stone of the Moon inside Chartmoon Tower during Chapter 17: Moon's Echoes after succeeding in the trials of the Beastmen Ghosts.
Players can later summon Land Umber by building an Altar of the Moon once for each mission. The benevodon deals 500 damage with the added HP sapping effect to enemies in range.
