Editing List of characters in Dragon Quest IV

*''See main article:'' [[Chosen Ones]]

*[[Healie]], the [[Healslime]] (ホイミン, ホイミスライム): A healer (or heal slime) who desires to be human. He joins {{Ragnar}} in his search for the missing children during {{DQ4 Chapter 1}}. Later in the game, he begins to achieve his dream. His transformation is described in the novel. The {{PS1}} remake also adds Behoimin and Behoman, upper level heal slimes who will join the pioneer town.

**In {{DQ4 Chapter 6}}, he leaves when the party departs from Rosehill (with Rose among them).

These characters join your party, but do not take part in battles or have stats displayed.  Like the other {{NPC}}s, they leave after an objective has been accomplished.

*[[Angus and Aigneas|Aigneas]] (フレア): A woman who lives in [[Burland]]. Her husband Angus's whereabouts are unknown. She follows Ragnar to [[Strathbaile]] and helps restore her husband's memory using the ritual known as [[Puff-Puff]].

*[[Willy Wally]] (ププル): Son of the Strathbaile innkeeper. Kidnapped by [[Psaro's Pawn]], and taken to the lake tower.  He along with another kidnapped child follows Ragnar after the rescue until both are dropped off at Strathbaile.

*[[Fido]]: After getting Finnegan out of the jail of [[Ballymoral]], his dog Fido can be recruited in order to deal with some foxes in [[Shinnock]].  Afterwards, {{Torneko}} can return him anytime and can't recruit Hardie (due to his fear of dogs) otherwise.

*[[Rose]] (ロザリー): An elf who cries ruby tears. Therefore, many humans seek to kidnap her to become rich. But her tears shatter when caught in human hands. {{Psaro B}} sought to protect her, but [[Aamon]] had her assassinated in order to drive him mad.

**In {{DQ4 Chapter 6}} (in the remake), the heroes obtain a [[Yggdrasil flower|flower]] of Yggdrasil, allowing her to be resurrected. She then accompanies the heroes (as a noncombatant) and persuades {{Psaro B}} to undo the effects of the [[Secret of Evolution]]. According to the remake, she was named after the town [[Rosehill]] by {{Psaro B}} protecting the town from [[human]]s.  She won't appear in the party in the overworld or certain other places, but remains with them until [[Aamon]] is defeated.

These are characters that aid the Hero and his party throughout the game, but do not join the party.

*Oopsy and Daisy: Two female elves that are supposed to be gathering the [[Birdsong nectar]]. However, they are frightened away and leave it behind.

*{{Veronica 4}}: The princess of [[Endor]]. She is dejected because her father wishes her to marry the winner of the Tournament Of Endor.

*[[Tessie Taloon]] (ネネ): Torneko's wife. She always makes delicious meals for him. She is able to sell products her husband delivers to her for 1.5 times their regular sale price, showing impressive business skills. She is accepting of her husband's need to travel. In {{DQ4 Chapter 5}} she runs a [[Vault]] or [[Bank]]. In the remake, her son's name is {{Tipper}}.

*Archie O'Tect (Called da Gardi in the {{NES}} Version): Came to repair the bridge connecting [[Ballymoral]] to Endor, but was distracted by the illusion of a pretty girl in [[Shinnock]], which was crafted by a fox.  After {{Torneko}} puts a stop to the fox's tricks, Archie returns to repairing the bridge.

*[[Regan]] (リック): Prince of Ballymoral. He is in love with Veronica, the Princess of Endor, but his father seeks to invade that country. He asks [[Torneko Taloon]] to deliver a latter to her for him, and later marries her.

*[[Mahabala]] (エドガン): Father of {{Maya}} and {{Meena}}. He was a great alchemist, with two pupils, [[Oojam]] and [[Balzack]]. He discovered the [[Secret of Evolution]] which can change humans into monsters; Balzack killed him and stole the secret for his own use. He never appears in the game except in flashbacks, although his grave can be found in Aubout de Monde.

*[[Eliza]] (シンシア): A childhood friend of the Hero. She is, along with all the townspeople, responsible to protect the growing hero. She takes on his form in order to distract the monsters when they invade the village.

*[[Bladud]] (リバスト): Former owner of the {{Zenithian armour}}, he died defending the town of [[Bath]] from the monsters, and is now a ghost. According to the novel, his full name is "Ribasuto Raru Kurutosu"; it expands on his story.

*[[Mary Lou]] (パトリシア): Hector's cartmare. She pulls the party's [[wagon]]. The novel states that she is the transformed state of [[Sparkie]], who was banished to the surface by the [[Master Dragon]]. But in the remake, Hector claims to have raised her since she was a pony.

*[[Conrad Hilton]] (ヒルタン): An old man that lives in Mintos. He once sought the legendary sword, but decided to settle down in Mintos to run the inn instead.

*[[Zenith Dragon]] (マスタードラゴン): The ruler of [[Zenithia]], who will give the Hero the power to beat the true evil. He is yellow in the original game, but gray in [[Akira Toriyama]]'s package art and in the remake. He reappears in the other two games of the Zenithia trilogy.

==Endor Tournament Participants==

These are the fighters Tsarevna Alena faces at the end of {{DQ4 Chapter 2}}. In between each round, Alena is allowed to use a Medical herb to recover her health. She must face all 5 in a row at one time, otherwise she will need to start at the beginning.

*[[Abominable showman]]: The fifth fighter in the tournament, who creates three shadows of himself. This is the last fighter Alena faces.

*[[Psaro the Manslayer]] (ピサロ): The King of the Demons; final boss of the original game. He is sometimes called [[Psaro the Manslayer]] (デスピサロ); he hates humans, and plans to prevent the appearance of the Hero. His strength and ruthlessness are feared by humans, but revered by demons and by the inhabitants of [[Rosehill]]. When Rose was attacked by humans, he helped by living with her; but he left her there so that he could conquer the world. He sought to destroy all humans and resurrect the Lord of the Underworld to free the world for demons. After her death, he was driven insane, and used the [[Secret of Evolution]] to become a monster, but the process destroyed his personality. The only thing he remembered was his desire to destroy humanity. He waits for the heroes at the top of the mountain, beyond the Castle of Death in Nadiria.

In {{DQ4 Chapter 6}}, he rules from the [[Diabolic Hall]], and has used the [[Secret of Evolution]] to make himself perfect; he is the true final boss. He must be fought using only {{Psaro B}} and three other [[Chosen Hero]], since the [[Wagon]] cannot be brought into the palace.

*[[Pruslas]] (ギガデーモン): A large demon holding a massive club; one of the four demons which keep up the barrier on [[Castle Nadiria] ]. It is devious, and tells the Hero to "look behind you" so that it can get a surprise attack. It casts [[Kasap]] to lower the party's defense, and issues high-power attacks with its club. It often delivers critical hits.

*[[Marquis de Léon]] (キングレオ): This being controls the castle, Palais de Léon, in the form of a lion monster. It is a palette swap of the [[Hellion]]. It originally used [[Balzack]] as a subordinate, but he gained further power and no longer needed its help. According to "The Unknown Legend", he is the prince of the castle, who used the [[Secret of Evolution]] to assume this form, and the remake depicts him accordingly. When the monster is defeated in the remake, he returns to human form, and forgets his memories as a monster. He must be fought twice, once each in the fourth and fifth chapters.  It is supposed to be impossible to defeat him in {{DQ4 Chapter 4}}; if he is defeated, the {{PS1}} Version will carry on as though the party lost, and the {{Famicom}}/{{NES}} version will repeat the battle. He moves twice per round, attacking, casting [[Sizz]] and breathing frost.

*[[Roseguardin]] (ピサロナイト): An armored demon guarding [[Rose]]. He has the [[Sphere of Silence]], which he uses to prevent the party from using magic.

*[[Psaro's Pawn]] (ピサロの手先): An agent of {{Psaro B}} in Straithbaile Tower, northwest of the lake. He uses the [[Talaria]] to lure children from Straithbaile, in the hopes of finding and killing the Legendary Hero. He casts [[Sizz]] and [[Frizz]], has unlimited {{MP}}, and is accompanied by a [[Winky]].

*[[Estark]] (エスターク): The Lord of the Underworld. He is sealed in a shrine underneath [[Mamon]], and bound into slumber. He used the [[Secret of Evolution]] to become the Ultimate Life Form. He holds a huge sword in each of his hands. He is not fully awake when the heroes arrive, and is not at full power, but he can still emit a light from his body, which damages the party heavily.
