'''Bjørn the Behemoose''' is an ancient and horrifying demon from long ago who was sealed away by the Briscoletti Family roughly 150 years ago due to his monstrous power. He is a major boss in {{DQ5}} and is notable for being one of the largest bosses in the series, easily being the size of a small mountain with large patches of moss/grass growing on parts of his body.  

Bjørn was sealed away in the [[The Pothold]] by Rodrigo Briscoletti's ancestor, Rudolfo, approximately a century and a half before the game's story. Though the seal is strong enough to compress the giant into a man-sized jug, the strength diminishes overtime and has caused great worry for Rodrigo. The player gets a hint of Bjørn's presence if they choose to marry [[Nera Briscoletti|Nera]] or [[Debora Briscoletti|Debora]], as their new father-in-law will send them off to check the trap's status after the wedding.

Eight years later, regardless of the player's spouse, the seal will have weakened to the point that Bjørn is able to free himself. Having a deadly premonition, Rodrigo beseches the Hero and his party to stand guard at [[La Guardia|the tower]] just outside of [[Mostroferrato]] while he performs last minute research to duplicate his predecessor's magic. One freed, Bjørn heads straight for Mostroferrato, stopping only at La Guardia to ask the Hero where Rudolf is--as [[Crispin Burns|Crispin]] later points out, while 150 years may have passed  in the outside world, it must have felt like a scant few days for such a massive creature. None too concerned that his nemesis is not currently present, Bjørn begins his rampage by assaulting the party.  

After his defeat, Bjørn's body disintegrates as his soul is pulled back into the pot. The [[Ultimate Key]] and colossal hoofprints are the only traces of his presence, causing Rodrigo to become overjoyed that no harm had come to his beloved family or town. Later, in the post-game, players who have already recruited [[Starkers]] can return to the Pothold and inspect the container once more. Bjørn will escape again, but this time in a diminutive reincarnation that he dubs [[Rebjørn]]. The demon's temperament has dulled after his beating, and he asks to join the party. Rodrigo's sealing technique is responsible for the bull's belittling, but the new body is incredibly powerful in its own right: beyond the son of Estark, there is no stronger monster ally in the game once he reaches level 99.

A "Baby Bjørn" appears as one of the bosses in the game and it is incredibly large, though not as big as Bjørn from ''Dragon Quest V''. After finishing the main story, a distinct Bjørn can be found, battled and scouted at Iceolation. One way to summon it is to examine the burning campfire. Another way is to simply walk into it as it takes its tremendously giant steps across the area.

A "Rebjørn" appears in the game, though it is not nearly as large as the ''DQV'' Bjørn.
