Rank 5: Borch Three Jackdaws/ Villentretenmerth
Borch Three Jackdaws may not appear directly in Witcher 3, but he does appear in the book source material and the Netflix series. The knight is always accompanied by the two warriors Tea and Vea. Geralt joins the group for a while and then involuntarily gets caught up in a dragon hunt.
Eventually, it turns out that the dragon in question is none other than Geralt’s companion Borch. Dragons in The Witcher are much more than mere fire-breathing beasts. They are intelligent, can speak, and can also take on human form at will. They are not classic monsters, which is why witchers do not hunt them.
Furthermore, it is considered suicide for witchers to take on a dragon. Although dragons are not fundamentally aggressive, they definitely know how to defend themselves. In the end, during the dragon hunt, Villentretenmerth, which is Borch’s dragon name, calls for a fair duel. Even without his dragon powers, he easily manages to defeat an experienced knight. Considering their full power, there are hardly any creatures in The Witcher more powerful than dragons. Therefore, Borch Three Jackdaws aka Villentretenmerth ranks 5th in this ranking.
