If I'm not mistaken though, the "five huge dragons of Artago" were already part of the storyline long before Chrono Cross came out. They just now got to it in game format.

In those days -only on foot & ship- his sphere of activity was marvelous.
In th south Afroka continent, in the east the Tigres of Crietta, the north pole, etc.
