Class Dragon
Race Hacksaurus

Lizzie is a character and optional party member in Dragon Quest VI, and the only non-Slime related monster that joins The Hero. Though seemingly a simple brute, Lizzie is actually a sensitive soul trying to find her way in the world as her instincts dictate, clouded by her infatuation with Terry. She is the only hacksaurus that can be recruited in VI.

Story

Lizzie was first encountered by The Hero & company in Wayfarer's Pass near Arkbolt when she and other monsters interfered in the construction of a tunnel leading through a mountain chain. The Hero's party was sent by the King of Arkbolt to remedy the problem, only for Terry to kill her in combat and take her to Arkbolt Castle before the group could make a move.

Her corpse was left in the castle's prison, and eventually resurrected herself through unknown means. Unlike before, she was no longer hostile towards the people around her, waiting calmly in her cell and asking to meet "the blue swordsman" again. Upon Terry's recruitment into The Hero's party, Lizzie decides to join the party's cause as well.

Appearance and Personality

Lizzie looks identical to her scaly brethren, save for a few illustrations that show her sporting some large ear-rings in her frills. In Dragon Quest Monsters Super Light, she is shown wearing a blue neck warmer to distinguish her from the generic Hacksaurus.

Though mostly devoid of personality in the original version of VI, the lengthy party chat in the remake has reinvented her completely. Full of curiosity, she is a naive woman eager to learn more about the world of humans and much of her dialogue will revolve around asking questions regarding objects or people the Hero has just interacted with. A shrinking violet at heart, she feels most comfortable and secure around the party, and even states that she considers them to be her family.

Select bits of party chat reveal that she takes pride in her immense strength, but she also is also slightly insecure, wondering if she's strong enough to protect the party and if she could have made a difference in the battle against Murdaw. Contrasting this, she's prone to gushing about things she enjoys, specifically rabbits and bunny girl accessories. Despite her limited understanding of etiquette Lizzie makes an effort to be polite, though this won't stop her from drooling incessantly while indoors.

Lizzie's fateful encounter with Terry

Being a monster, Lizzie has a much higher level of resistance to magic and the elements than her human companions.

Full immunity:

Strong resistance:

Weak resistance:

She has no resistance to zap, crack, ice breath, strike/rock skills, and is 'vulnerable' to Dragon slash. With all this in mind, the Flame armour and Flame shield are her best equipment options, with the more potent pieces being reserved for more vulnerable humans and slimes.

Lizzie joins the party with the Dragon class, and as such does not require use of Draconic Diligence. Aside from class abilities, Lizzie learns a few skills on her own:

Name MP Level Target Description
Falcon Slash 0 5 One enemy A double slicing attack, faster than a falcon on the wing.
Flame Breath 0 5 All enemies A fiercely fiery breath attack.
Hatchet Man 0 9 One enemy An unpredictable attack that can land a critical hit.
