The '''Dark Druid''' (Japanese: {{hl|災いを招く者|Wazawai o manekusha}} ''Basiliskglance'') is an [[:Category:advanced classes|advanced]], [[:Category:Enemy-exclusive classes|enemy-only]] magical [[class]] which appears only in {{FE7}}. 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 [[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.

== Trivia ==
[[File:Ss fe07 dark druid staff.png|thumb|right|[[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 of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade|Sound Room]]. International versions still call the song "Calamity Bringer" even though the class's name was changed.
