Ragnar McRyan, known in Japan as Ryan (Japanese: ライアン, Hepburn: Raian) is a character in the 1990 video game Dragon Quest IV. He is one of multiple characters who assist the game's Hero in their battle against the monster Psaro. He stars in chapter 1, allying with the monster Healie to rescue children kidnapped by Psaro's minions. He was the first playable character in the NES version of the game. He has appeared in multiple other games, including the Itadaki Street and Dragon Quest Heroes series.
Ragnar was designed by Akira Toriyama, and was given a Scottish accent in the English version of the Nintendo DS remake. He has received generally positive reception, with critics noting how he represented an old-fashioned, uncomplicated type of hero that they felt is absent in newer games.
