You did not miss any lore because Gungolir is my creation. He was a large dragon who I was designing for the final battle in one of my roleplaying games when I was much younger. My campaigns were heavily influenced by the first six Final Fantasy games, which were a huge part of my childhood. This particular boss had very high defense, and was nearly impossible to hit if his attention was on you.

Unfortunately I never got to use him in my games, and I don't remember exactly why, but I dug up some notes on him some time ago. It reminded me how much fun I had back then, but also how much I missed it and how much I regret not doing more. It sort of struck me that I feel very similar about the Final Fantasy series now: How great the previous games were, the failure of FFXIV 1.0, and the hope I have for A Realm Reborn.
