Gracos is likely a more powerful form of a Merman, as he shares many of his characteristics with this monster, particularly the placement of his fins. Gracos differs from this common monster by means of his greater girth, thicker lips, wristbands and weapon: a pole-arm with a crescent-shaped blade on the end.

Gracos differs from this common monster by means of his greater girth, thicker lips, wristbands and weapon: a polearm with a crescent-shaped blade on the end. In his original appearance, Gracos had green scales, changing to blue scales when he reappeared in {{VII}}, which he kept for many years in spinoff games in the series. However, for the [[Nintendo DS]] remake of {{VI}}, Gracos instead had the purple and red color scheme of his descendant. In the [[Nintendo 3DS[] remake of {{VII}} and other games going forward, the sea demon reverted to his original green coloration.


Having first appeared as a boss monster, Gracos typically fulfills that same role in his other appearances and is powerful as such. He possesses great physical might and is adept at using magic and abilities as well.

In ''Dragon Quest VI'', Gracos maintains the seal on [[Sorceria]] and defeating him enables access to the city. Gracos is the least competent of the Dread Fiends, sleeping on the job and unintentionally informing the party of his [[Mortamor|master's]] plans at the slightest inquiry.

Making his second appearance as a boss, Gracos is the one responsible for flooding [[Wetlock]] in the past and must be confronted in order to set things right. When the {{Party 7}} reaches his throne room in the Sunken Citadel, he will send a group of three [[Sunken spirit]]s to fight them, which are not too difficult. Gracos will then challenge the {{Party 7}} himself. [[Florin|Old Man Riffer]] will arrive to lend his aid, playing his torban to allow the spirits to rest. He will also restore the party's {{HP}} and {{MP}} completely before the battle.
 
====Strategy====
The battle against Gracos is one of the toughest the player will have faced thus far. He can attack twice in one round and hit the party very hard. He is immune to [[Sap]] and has a high resistance to [[Dazzle]]. Finally, he has a very high resistance to ice spells and skills so these should be avoided completely.


Making his second appearance as a boss, Gracos is the one responsible for flooding [[Hamelia]] in the past and must be confronted in order to set things right.
There is a small grace as [[Florin|Old Man Riffer]] joins this fight as a temporary {{Party 7}} member. Even still, Gracos shouldn't be taken lightly. [[Woolly Blanket]] or [[Insulatle]] does wonders for this battle, as well as [[Kabuff]] and [[Buff]]. If the player managed to get [[Heavy armour]] from the Lucky Panel, it should be equipped on both the {{Hero 7}} and [[Ruff]]. Otherwise, a [[Magical skirt]] for [[Maribel]] and a [[Magic vestment]] for [[Ruff]] are great options.


====Strategy====
The [[Martial Artist]]'s [[Wind Sickles]] should be used regularly, as well as skills such as [[Sword Dance]] and [[Falcon Slash]]. If {{Maribel}} has a chance to attack, she should cast [[Frizzle]] regularly. [[Florin|Old Man Riffer]] can attack and cast [[Bang]] against Gracos, but his damage is negligible.

There is a small grace as [[Jann]] joins this fight. Even still, Gracos shouldn't be taken lightly. The [[Shepherd|Shepherd's]] Barrier technique does wonders for this battle as well as Increase and Upper. Armor that protects against ice is a must. The [[Martial Artist|Fighter's]] Wind Beast should be used regularly as well as the Shepherd's Stampede attack and the Hybrid skill Sword Dance.
Do not rely on [[Florin|Old Man Riffer]] to heal the {{Party 7}}. {{Maribel}} or [[Ruff] should carry the [[Staff of salvation]] in their inventory since they both have high {{Agility}}. It is also recommended that each {{Party 7}} member have at least one [[Antidotal herb]] in case they are {{Envenomate}}d by Gracos's mist. [[Hustle Dance]] can also be a major boon if the player has managed to advance to become a {{Luminary V}}. The battle can be very difficult, as the player is unable to return to the present and change their vocations once the flood has begun.


Do not rely on Jann to heal the party. If you are in need of healing, have [[Maribel]] use the Bless Staff.

Title Dread Fiend
Family Gracos V (descendant)

Gracos is a recurring monster and antagonist in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest VI as one of the Dread Fiends.

He is a bulky Merman-like monster wielding a polearm.

Characteristics[edit]

Gracos is likely a more powerful form of a Merman, as he shares many of his characteristics with this monster, particularly the placement of his fins. Gracos differs from this common monster by means of his greater girth, thicker lips, wristbands and weapon: a polearm with a crescent-shaped blade on the end. In his original appearance, Gracos had green scales, changing to blue scales when he reappeared in VII, which he kept for many years in spinoff games in the series. However, for the Nintendo DS remake of VI, Gracos instead had the purple and red color scheme of his descendant. In the [[Nintendo 3DS[] remake of VII and other games going forward, the sea demon reverted to his original green coloration.

Having first appeared as a boss monster, Gracos typically fulfills that same role in his other appearances and is powerful as such. He possesses great physical might and is adept at using magic and abilities as well, in particular having an affinity for both ice magic and breath attacks.

In VI, Gracos maintains the seal on Sorceria and defeating him enables access to the city. Gracos is the least competent of the Dread Fiends, sleeping on the job and unintentionally informing the party of his master's plans at the slightest inquiry.

Making his second appearance as a boss, Gracos is the one responsible for flooding Wetlock in the past and must be confronted in order to set things right. When the party reaches his throne room in the Sunken Citadel, he will send a group of three Sunken spirits to fight them, which are not too difficult. Gracos will then challenge the party himself. Old Man Riffer will arrive to lend his aid, playing his torban to allow the spirits to rest. He will also restore the party's HP and MP completely before the battle.

Strategy[edit]

The battle against Gracos is one of the toughest the player will have faced thus far. He can attack twice in one round and hit the party very hard. He is immune to Sap and has a high resistance to Dazzle. Finally, he has a very high resistance to ice spells and skills so these should be avoided completely.

There is a small grace as Old Man Riffer joins this fight as a temporary party member. Even still, Gracos shouldn't be taken lightly. Woolly Blanket or Insulatle does wonders for this battle, as well as Kabuff and Buff. If the player managed to get Heavy armour from the Lucky Panel, it should be equipped on both the Hero and Ruff. Otherwise, a Magical skirt for Maribel and a Magic vestment for Ruff are great options.

The Martial Artist's Wind Sickles should be used regularly, as well as skills such as Sword Dance and Falcon Slash. If Maribel has a chance to attack, she should cast Frizzle regularly. Old Man Riffer can attack and cast Bang against Gracos, but his damage is negligible.

Do not rely on Old Man Riffer to heal the party. Maribel or [[Ruff] should carry the Staff of salvation in their inventory since they both have high Agility. It is also recommended that each party member have at least one Antidotal herb in case they are Envenomated by Gracos's mist. Hustle Dance can also be a major boon if the player has managed to advance to become a Luminary. The battle can be very difficult, as the player is unable to return to the present and change their vocations once the flood has begun.

Etymology[edit]

Gracos is a transliteration of Glaucus--one of the half-human sons of the god Poseidon. He is a patron of sailors whose story is detailed in Ovid's Metamorphosis.

Trivia[edit]

  • Each of the four Dread Fiends could be seen as representing one of the four classical elements, based on their lairs. In Gracos's case, he represents water.
