'''Pruslas''' is a boss {{MFamilies}} introduced in {{Dragon Quest IV}} that has since become a recurring enemy species in the series.
 
==Characteristics==
Pruslas has piercing blue eyes, red claws, and tiny wings which somehow allow him to fly. He is a rotund, purple-scaled, lizard-like demon wielding a large club. In more recent games, he has taken to wielding a large, red club in only one hand to distinguish him to his pallet swaps, the [[Night clubber]]s and [[Balzack|Baalzack]]. Another thing that separates him from those {{MFamilies}}s is his size. In the more recent {{Monsters S}} games that feature size as a gameplay element, he is revealed to be gargantuan compared to the other two and stands shoulder to shoulder with the largest {{MFamilies}}s in the series.
 
Pruslas is very devious and tricky, preferring to get the upper hand in battles by lying and cheating. His manipulative personality is quite helpful to {{Psaro B}}, as unlike [[Aamon]]), he is very loyal.
 
==Appearances==

Pruslas appears as an obese brute holding a huge club. He is one of the four demons found in the endgame maintaining the barrier around [[Psaro B]] and his stronghold of [[Castle Nadiria]]. He may the most devious of the four aside from [[Aamon]], and attempts a cheap shot on the player by trying to convince the {{Hero 4}} to "look behind you" for a treasure, allowing him to get a surprise attack if the player obliges. Pruslas casts [[Kasap]] to lower the {{Party 4}}'s defense, and issues high-power attacks with his club, which has a high chance for a [[Critical Hit]].
