'''Kaclang''' is a spell which renders the recipient invulnerable, but also unable to act.

It was introduced in {{Dragon Quest III}} at first exclusive to the {{Hero V}} class. Affects the whole [[party]]. Some {{MFamilies}}s also have the Kaclang spell.

Seemingly useless at first glance, the spell is actually quite handy to trick an enemy into wasting all their {{MP}}, as well as scouting for their abilities.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ2HD}}===
Kaclang is learned by the [[Prince of Cannock]] and the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]] via ability scroll.

==={{DQ3}}===
Kaclang is learned by the {{Hero 3}} at level 12. It has the highest action priority in the game, being cast before all other actions.

==={{DQ3HD}}===
Kaclang is learned at level 12 by the Hero if his or her wisdom exceeds 32 points. Kaclang costs 6 MP and lasts for 3 turns, and also has the highest action priority out of all the spells and skills in the game.

==={{DQ4}}===
Kaclang is learned by {{Hero 4}} at level 21.

[[Peeper]]s can use it on themselves.

==={{DQ5}}===
Kaclang is only used by the enemies [[wyrtoise]] and [[hippopotamiss]].

==={{DQ6}}===
In {{VI}} {{DS}}, Kaclang is learned by the recruitable [[liquid metal slime]] [[Mercury]] at level 3, when a {{Luminary V}} reaches rank 2, when a {{Hero V}} reaches rank 1, and upon reaching rank 2 of the [[Liquid metal slime (vocation)|Liquid Metal Slime vocation]].

It can be used by [[Arrghgoyle]]s.

==={{DQ7}}===
Kaclang is learned by advancing to rank 3 of the {{Luminary V}}, rank 2 of the {{Hero V}} vocation, rank 4 of the [[Drake slime (vocation)|Drake slime]], and rank 1 of the [[Platinum king jewel (vocation)|Platinum king jewel]] vocations. It costs 2 {{MP}} to cast. In the {{3DS}} remake, it can be learned by advancing to rank 1 of the Hero and [[Druid]] vocations.

It can be cast by [[rotten egg]]s as enemies.

==={{DQ11}}===
The {{Luminary}} will learn Kaclang after purchasing the spell for 12 points in the ''Luminary'' section of his character builder. The spell costs 8 {{MP}} to cast but now only targets a single ally, with the effect lasting for 2~4 turns.

==={{DQM}}===
Called Ironize in this game, it requires the {{MFamilies}} to reach level 15 with 62 {{MP}} and 58 {{Intelligence}}. It is naturally learned by the [[DarkCrab|darkcrab]], [[Sculptrice|evilbeast]], [[Winky|eyeball]], [[Metal king slime|metalking]], [[Wyrtle|tortragon]] and [[WhipBird|whipbird]].

==={{DQM2}}===
Ironize now requires 87 {{Intelligence}} to learn. It is naturally learned by the [[Rotten egg|wonderegg]]. It is no longer naturally learned by the [[Winky|eyeball]]

==={{DQTact}}===
Kaclang can be learned by {{Hero 3}}, [[Erdrick]] through his Character Builder and costs 107 {{MP}} to cast. It has a range of up to two squares away from him and can also be self-cast. It fully protects the target from any damage they may receive until the start of their next turn. Although it can only be cast one time per battle. Upgrading the spell reduces the amount of {{MP}} it costs to cast.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===
Kaclang is randomly available through the {{Hero Smash}}'s Down-B move, Command Selection. It renders the {{Hero Smash}} immune to all damage and knockback, but also means he will be instantly slain by [[Metal Slash]]. Additionally, casting the spell while in the air will cause the {{Hero Smash}} to inflict 15% damage on anyone he falls upon.

Zoom

|japanese = ルーラ

}}
'''Zoom''' (ルーラ, Ruura, Ruler), is a recurring spell in the {{DQSeries}} that allows for instantaneous transportation to previously visited locales.

The amount of {{MP}} it costs tends to change from game to game, but the functionally remains the same. With one exception, Zoom cannot be used indoors.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ}}===
Zoom is learned at level 13, and requires 8 {{MP}} to use. In all versions of the game, Zoom only returns the player back to [[Tantegel]] Castle.

==={{DQ2}}===
Zoom is learned by The [[Prince of Cannock]] at Level 10. In the original versions of the game, Zoom would only return the party to the location where they last saved their game. This was remedied in the [[Cell phone]] versions, and now the player can choose from a list of towns and locations, provided they visited them once. It costs 8 {{MP}} to use in the original versions, 6 {{MP}} in the {{GBC}} version, and 1 {{MP}} in the Cell phone remake.

==={{DQ3}}===
Zoom is learned by the {{Hero 3}} at Level 7, and both [[Mage]]s & [[Sage]]s at level 12. This is the first installment that allowed players to choose where they wanted to go with Zoom, setting the standard for future {{Main Series}} games.

Using the spell or [[chimaera wing]] will [[Day-night cycle|reset the time]] to day.

The Hero can learn it in battle with the use of a [[List of glitches in Dragon Quest III#Companion overload glitch|glitch]], though to use it prevents the spell from being learned in the field.

==={{DQ3HD}}===
Zoom is learned by the Hero at level 14 and by Mages and Sages at level 12. The spell is now capable of being used in-doors without bonking the character's head.

==={{DQ4}}===
Zoom is learned by the {{Hero 4}} at Level 7, [[Borya]] at Level 9, and {{Maya}} at level 8, and is already known by the {{Psaro 9}} upon joining. Note that the destination list resets after each chapter.

Additionally, an {{NPC}} [[minidemon]] attempts to use the spell to chase [[Torneko Taloon]] from [[Pharos Beacon]] to [[Porthtrunnel]], but bumps his head, falls and becomes unconscious.

The {{Hero 5}} learns Zoom after helping [[Prof. Toilen Trubble]] with his research in the town of [[Zoomingale]], and this event is required to advance the plot. None of the other {{Party 5}} members that can learn the spell are encountered until after this. The spell is used as a plot device at certain events, such as if the Hero marries {{Nera}} or {{Debora}}, and is later used by his daughter to carry him home after rescuing him. This marks the first installment that used a spell as a plot event.

==={{DQ6}}===
Zoom is learned by [[Ashlynn]] and the {{Hero 6}} at Level 8, and by [[Mercury]] at Level 5. Other characters can learn it by advancing to either rank 3 of the [[Mage]] vocation or rank 4 of the [[Liquid metal slime (vocation)|Liquid metal slime]] vocation.

In the [[Nintendo DS]] version and subsequent ports, after acquiring [[Ra's Mirror]] the spell can be upgraded by [[Madame Luca Luminista]] to enable warping between worlds.

==={{DQ7}}===
Zoom is learned through the same method as in {{VI}}.

==={{DQ8}}===
The {{Eight}} learns this spell after investing 8 points into his "Courage" skill. It costs 1 {{MP}} to cast.

==={{DQ9}}===
Zoom is a special ability learned exclusively by the {{Hero 9}} after a plot event. Unlike earlier games, it costs no {{MP}} to cast.

==={{DQ10}}===
Zoom can be utilized through special stones called Zoomstones. Each Zoomstone can be set to a single location at a time, either by interacting with special waypoint crystals (usually located outside points of interest, such as caves) or by speaking to a [[priest]] inside of a [[church]], and can have their locations overwritten as many times as the player chooses. The player can receive more Zoomstones by progressing through the story, completing side-quests, and receiving them as special rewards. Once a certain point of the story is reached, a quest can be completed to obtain a Mega Zoomstone, which initially allows travel to any of the major locations to each of the five continents of Astoltia. Later, it can be upgraded to include other locations as well. There are other methods of Zoom as well, such as an {{NPC}} that will allow you to Zoom to any previously visited location up to three times a day for a nominal fee, and a special Zoom that will warp you to or nearby the location of your next story objective.

==={{DQ11}}===
Zoom is learned through the same method as in {{IX}}. Unlike other {{Main Series}} games, you can use Zoom indoors. In the {{Definitive Edition}}, trying to do the same in 2D Mode will only result in hitting the ceiling as always.

==={{DQTact}}===
Zoom can be learned by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|Scion of Erdrick]] through his Character Builder and costs 40 {{MP}} to cast. It transports the {{Hero 1}} to the selected space with a range of up to 5 spaces away from his current position. Although it can only be cast one time per battle. Upgrading the spell reduces the amount of {{MP}} it costs to cast.

==={{DQDai}}===
Zoom is not learned through a magical contract like standard spells. Instead [[Matoriv]] teaches [[Popp]] to cast Zoom by releasing magical energy from his entire body while picturing a destination. In addition to a means of fast travel like in the games, short-range Zooms can also be used for tactical repositioning in battle. [[Dai]] later learns to cast Zoom as well, and "Hero of the North" [[Nova]] can cast it at his introduction. It is also a common spell among Dark King [[Vearn]]'s higher-ranking subordinates.

If the user casts Zoom while distracted or not thinking of a destination, they will subconsciously travel to a place of emotional significance. This includes [[Popp]] attempting to transport [[Maam]] with Zoom only to worry about her leaving the party and arrive at the forest where they first met, and later a distraught Dai using a blind Zoom and arriving at the place where he first met his father.

With sufficient practice, this technique can refined into the flight spell [[Levizoom]].

==={{DQTAoD}}===
Zoom is a technique in which a spellcaster (typically a [[Mage]], [[Sage]] or {{Hero V}}) releases mana from their entire body, surrounding them in a white aura and causing them to fly at high speed towards a location they are familiar with. Aside from being a means of fast travel, short-range Zoom spells can also be used for quick repositioning in combat.

A caster with sufficient mastery of Zoom can perform the [[Levizoom]] (JP: ''Toberuura'') technique, which allows slower, fully-controllable flight and does not require calling a spell name.

==={{SSB5}}===
Zoom is one of the spells that can be used by the {{Hero Smash}} through his Down special, Command Selection. This costs 8 {{MP}} to use, and allows the Hero to quickly fly back to the main platform of the stage, provided he isn't obstructed by a ceiling overhead. Compared to the {{Hero Smash}}'s up-special attack ([[Woosh]], which can be further charged-up to [[Swoosh]] and [[Kaswoosh]]), Zoom provides a greatly increased vertical-recovery distance and a period of invincibility with a much lower {{MP}} cost than [[Kaswoosh]], but has the notable downsides of not damaging opponents, the ascent being followed by a swift and uncontrollable descent with very little horizontal movement, and the inherent unreliability of the Command Selection menu's randomly-chosen options. However, if the {{Hero Smash}} is close to the blast line, the chance of Zoom appearing in the command list is tripled.

*A common gag with Zoom is that using the spell indoors will cause the user to hit their head on the ceiling, making them plummet straight back down.

==Notes==
*Chapters 55 and 56 of ''[[Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken]]'' elaborate on the ''Ruura'' spell and explain it as the ability to go to a place if you can form an image of it in your mind.
*In {{V}}, it's suggested that transporting too many people with this spell at once causes physical strain or even unconsciousness, as the {{Hero 5}} blacks out after transporting the wedding entourage to [[Pontoon and Ventuno|Ventuno]] [[Casino]] [[Ship]].

Zoom is a special ability learned exclusively by the {{Hero 9}} after a plot event. Unlike earlier games, it costs no {{MP}} to cast.

==={{DQ10}}===
Zoom can be utilized through special stones called Zoomstones. Each Zoomstone can be set to a single location at a time, either by interacting with special waypoint crystals (usually located outside points of interest, such as caves) or by speaking to a [[priest]] inside of a [[church]], and can have their locations overwritten as many times as the player chooses. The player can receive more Zoomstones by progressing through the story, completing side-quests, and receiving them as special rewards. Once a certain point of the story is reached, a quest can be completed to obtain a Mega Zoomstone, which initially allows travel to any of the major locations to each of the five continents of Astoltia. Later, it can be upgraded to include other locations as well. There are other methods of Zoom as well, such as an {{NPC}} that will allow you to Zoom to any previously visited location up to three times a day for a nominal fee, and a special Zoom that will warp you to or nearby the location of your next story objective.

==={{DQ11}}===
Zoom is learned through the same method as in {{IX}}. Unlike other {{Main Series}} games, you can use Zoom indoors. In the {{Definitive Edition}}, trying to do the same in 2D Mode will only result in hitting the ceiling as always.

==={{DQTact}}===
Zoom can be learned by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|Scion of Erdrick]] through his Character Builder and costs 40 {{MP}} to cast. It transports the {{Hero 1}} to the selected space with a range of up to 5 spaces away from his current position. Although it can only be cast one time per battle. Upgrading the spell reduces the amount of {{MP}} it costs to cast.

==={{DQDai}}===
Zoom is not learned through a magical contract like standard spells. Instead [[Matoriv]] teaches [[Popp]] to cast Zoom by releasing magical energy from his entire body while picturing a destination. In addition to a means of fast travel like in the games, short-range Zooms can also be used for tactical repositioning in battle. [[Dai]] later learns to cast Zoom as well, and "Hero of the North" [[Nova]] can cast it at his introduction. It is also a common spell among Dark King [[Vearn]]'s higher-ranking subordinates.

If the user casts Zoom while distracted or not thinking of a destination, they will subconsciously travel to a place of emotional significance. This includes [[Popp]] attempting to transport [[Maam]] with Zoom only to worry about her leaving the party and arrive at the forest where they first met, and later a distraught Dai using a blind Zoom and arriving at the place where he first met his father.

With sufficient practice, this technique can refined into the flight spell [[Levizoom]].

==={{DQTAoD}}===
Zoom is a technique in which a spellcaster (typically a [[Mage]], [[Sage]] or {{Hero V}}) releases mana from their entire body, surrounding them in a white aura and causing them to fly at high speed towards a location they are familiar with. Aside from being a means of fast travel, short-range Zoom spells can also be used for quick repositioning in combat.

A caster with sufficient mastery of Zoom can perform the [[Levizoom]] (JP: ''Toberuura'') technique, which allows slower, fully-controllable flight and does not require calling a spell name.

==={{SSB5}}===
Zoom is one of the spells that can be used by the {{Hero Smash}} through his Down special, Command Selection. This costs 8 {{MP}} to use, and allows the Hero to quickly fly back to the main platform of the stage, provided he isn't obstructed by a ceiling overhead. Compared to the {{Hero Smash}}'s up-special attack ([[Woosh]], which can be further charged-up to [[Swoosh]] and [[Kaswoosh]]), Zoom provides a greatly increased vertical-recovery distance and a period of invincibility with a much lower {{MP}} cost than [[Kaswoosh]], but has the notable downsides of not damaging opponents, the ascent being followed by a swift and uncontrollable descent with very little horizontal movement, and the inherent unreliability of the Command Selection menu's randomly-chosen options. However, if the {{Hero Smash}} is close to the blast line, the chance of Zoom appearing in the command list is tripled.

*In {{V}}, it's suggested that transporting too many people with this spell at once causes physical strain or even unconsciousness, as the {{Hero 5}} blacks out after transporting the wedding entourage to [[Pontoon and Ventuno|Ventuno]] [[Casino]] [[Ship]].

'''Glow''' is a spell originally found in {{DQ}} and its remakes (bar the HD-2D Remake) as well as ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters 2]]''.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ}}===
Glow lights up dark caves by a 4 x 4 radius for 80 steps, 3 x 3 for 60 steps, and 2 x 2 for another 60 steps. Initially, the light is brighter than that provided by a [[torch]]. However, unlike the torch, its light eventually fades, leaving the dungeon dark until it is recast. MP required is 3 in the original, and 2 in all remakes.

It is absent in the HD-2D Remake, as dungeons are lit up automatically.

==={{DQM}}===
Glow, referred to as ''Radiant'' in the Eidos localization, appears as a spell used by various monsters, notably the common [[slime]], to lower the accuracy of other monsters in battle, and can be learned at Level 13, with an MP cost of 2, and requires stats being 42 MP, 72 AGL, and 72 INT.

==={{DQM2}}===
Glow reappears in the sequel, with the minimal requirements now being Level 12, 42 MP, 72 AGL, and 130 INT, with the skill lowering the accuracy of other monsters in battle.

The '''Torch''' is an item used to light up dark dungeons. It is used multiple times in {{Dragon Quest}} and one specific time in {{Dragon Quest V}}. Torches do not appear in the HD-2D Remake of ''I'', as dungeons are lit up automatically.

The '''Princess Pledge''', sometimes called '''Gwaelin's Love''' or '''Lady Lora's Love''', is an item from {{DQ}}.

It is given to the {{Hero 1}} from [[Princess Gwaelin]] after she has been rescued from the [[Green dragon]] and returned to [[Tantegel]] Castle. Gwaelin's Love resembles a compass, and provides the distance from [[Tantegel]] and the amount of [[Experience Points|experience points]] needed to reach the next level.

Erdrick

2025-11-06T20:03:08Z

Madrat:

[[File:DQ III Android Erdrick's Emblem.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Erdrick's Emblem from the ending of {{III}} on the [[Cell phone]] version.]]
'''Erdrick''' (ロト, ''Roto'') is a recurring title awarded to legendary heroes from the {{Main Series}} series, and specifically the playable characters of {{Dragon Quest III}} and {{XI}}. The first three {{Main Series}} games are called the "[[Erdrick Trilogy]]", as each relate to the character of Erdrick in some way. Although they do not appear in {{I}} or {{II}}, Erdrick is mentioned heavily in the game dialog and many items bear their name.

The name Erdrick is referenced in many of the later main {{Main Series}} games, as well as some spin-offs. Due to the name being exclusively used in association with the protagonist of {{III}} for several decades, the title was treated as the character's name by both fans and media. With the arrival of {{XI}}, this connection has steadily lessened and the term Erdrick has become a title of status independent of any particular character.

For the three characters who received this title, see:
*[[Hero (Dragon Quest)]]
*[[Hero (Dragon Quest III)]]
*[[Luminary (Dragon Quest XI)]]

==Origins of Title==
At the end of {{III}} the [[King of Alefgard]] bestows upon the {{Hero 3}} '''''the Order of Erdrick''''', the country’s highest honor reserved only for true heroes. This implies that there have been several Erdricks throughout history. The {{Hero 3}} is referred to by this title in all references outside of {{Dragon Quest III}}.

Attempting to name the {{Hero 3}} "Erdrick" in {{III}} for the {{NES}} will generate a message requesting the player to enter their real name; however, if a space is added at the end, the warning message will not be displayed and the game may be played with the {{Hero 3}} being named "Erdrick ". The same restriction applies in the Japanese versions for Roto as well, both in kanji and hiragana.

In the ending sequence of {{XI}}, the {{Luminary}} is bestowed the title of Erdrick for saving the land of [[Erdrea]] from [[Calasmos]]. As the game contains several homages to past titles, the connection of {{III}} and {{XI}} (if any) is up to player interpretation.

In the real-world Old English language, the word "eard" means "world," while "-ric" is a common suffix for names translating to "ruler." Thus, "Erdrick" can be said to mean "ruler of the world."

In the HD-2D Remake of ''I'', the Hero is revealed to have received the title as well, and he is referred to as such in ''II''.

In Saori Kumi's three part novel series ''Senrei [[Rubiss]] Densetsu'' (精霊ルビス伝説), the title of Erdrick is revealed to be the birth name of the Goddess' half-human lover Diaruto Kentoropige. Diaruto would embrace his human name over the course of the series and would take up that name throughout his reincarnations, thus spreading disconnected legends of an incredible hero throughout the centuries until the people of [[Alefgard]] came to recognize it as a title reserved for the greatest of heroes.

==Localization history==
Erdrick is a term invented for the North American release of the original trilogy. In the original Japanese version games Erdrick is known exclusively by the name '''Roto'''--this is written in runes on the shield bearing the name in official art. Another romanization of the name is '''Loto''', which was used in place of Erdrick when [[Enix|Enix America, Inc.]] re-released {{Dragon Quest}}, {{II}} and {{III}} on the {{Game Boy Color}}. This was done due to the space constraints of the [[Game Boy]]'s screen, with the "L" being chosen for unknown reasons.

When {{DQ9}} was released in North America and Europe, the name Erdrick was once again used to refer to the legendary {{Hero 3}} of {{Dragon Quest III}}, effectively returning to the original English localization from the {{NES}} era.

==Items Iconography==
In {{I}} and {{II}}, there are several items that bear Erdrick as a part of their names. See the ''[[Erdrick Equipment]]'' article for more detail.

====[[Erdrick's Sword]]====
Also known as the Sword of Kings, this is the most powerful sword in {{I}} and {{III}}. The sword is not the most powerful in {{XI}}, but boasts an incredibly high {{Attack}} bonus nonetheless.

====[[Erdrick's Armour]]====
The most powerful armour in the [[Erdrick trilogy|original trilogy]], which protects against the damage from poison swamps and barriers, and restores {{HP}} while walking. It is also known as Armour of Erdrick in {{II}} and as [[Auroral Armour]] in {{III}}.

====[[Erdrick's Shield]]====
The [[Hero's Shield]] is the name found in {{III}}. It is called the Shield of Erdrick only in {{II}}, as it does not exist in the original versions of {{I}}, though it is found in {{DQ1HD}}.

====[[Erdrick's Helmet]]====
This item exists only in {{Dragon Quest II}}, as there is no specific helm referred to as such in {{III}}. In the remakes the player can acquire ''[[Ortega's Helm]]'', which bears a distinct similarity to Erdrick's helmet from {{II}}. In the HD-2D Remake of {{III}}, Ortega's Helm can be upgraded into the [[Auroral helm]], the original name of Erdrick's helmet.

====[[Mark of Erdrick]]====
An object which proves the {{Hero 1}}'s lineage in {{I}}, which is found in a swamp south of [[Cantlin]]. In {{III}}, the emblem is referred to as the [[Sacred amulet]].

====[[Erdrick's Tablet]]====
A message written in stone by the {{Hero 3}} of {{Dragon Quest III}}, and left for the {{Hero 1}} in ''[[Dragon Quest]]''. It gives instructions on what items are needed to reach the Isle of Dragons, which is the location of the [[Dragonlord's Castle]]. The tablet is found in a cave north of Tantegel castle, called [[Erdrick's Cave]].

==Other References to Erdrick==
*In the opening scene of {{Dragon Quest V}}, the protagonist's father, [[Pankraz]], suggests the name "{{Madason}}" for his son. His wife, [[Madalena]], disagrees, and suggests the name which the player entered. If the player already entered the name "{{Madason}}", [[Pankraz]] will suggest "Erdrick" instead.
*In the US translation of {{Dragon Quest VI}} ([[Nintendo DS]] and [[Cell phone]] Version), an {{NPC}} in [[Gallows Moor]] goes by the name of Erdrick.
*In the original ''[[Final Fantasy]]'', a role-playing game produced by [[Square]], there is a grave for Erdrick in the cemetery of the Elf village (in the remakes and the original Japanese version of ''[[Final Fantasy]]'', the grave belongs to [[Nintendo]]'s Link).
*Erdrick's sword is obtainable ''Final Fantasy XII''. It's the third-strongest weapon in the game and has the highest combo rate, but it's also the slowest. In the Japanese version, it's called the Toro Sword, Toro being Roto backwards. The English localization named it "Wyrmhero Blade", which is a synonym for "{{Dragon Warrior}}". Other localizations kept the original name, and it happens to mean "Sword of the Bull" in Spanish and Italian.
*In the demo for ''[[Dragon Quest Builders]]'', the player's default name is "Buildrick".

[[File:DQ III Android Erdrick's Emblem.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Erdrick's Emblem from the ending of {{III}} on the [[Cell phone]] version.]]
'''Erdrick''' (ロト, ''Roto'') is a recurring title awarded to legendary heroes from the {{Main Series}} series, and specifically the playable characters of {{Dragon Quest III}} and {{XI}}. The first three {{Main Series}} games are called the "[[Erdrick Trilogy]]", as each relate to the character of Erdrick in some way. Although they do not appear in {{I}} or {{II}}, Erdrick is mentioned heavily in the game dialog and many items bear their name.

The name Erdrick is referenced in many of the later main {{Main Series}} games, as well as some spin-offs. Due to the name being exclusively used in association with the protagonist of {{III}} for several decades, the title was treated as the character's name by both fans and media. With the arrival of {{XI}}, this connection has steadily lessened and the term Erdrick has become a title of status independent of any particular character.

For the three characters who received this title, see:
*[[Hero (Dragon Quest)]]
*[[Hero (Dragon Quest III)]]
*[[Luminary (Dragon Quest XI)]]

==Origins of Title==
At the end of {{III}} the [[King of Alefgard]] bestows upon the {{Hero 3}} '''''the Order of Erdrick''''', the country’s highest honor reserved only for true heroes. This implies that there have been several Erdricks throughout history. The {{Hero 3}} is referred to by this title in all references outside of {{Dragon Quest III}}.

Attempting to name the {{Hero 3}} "Erdrick" in {{III}} for the {{NES}} will generate a message requesting the player to enter their real name; however, if a space is added at the end, the warning message will not be displayed and the game may be played with the {{Hero 3}} being named "Erdrick ". The same restriction applies in the Japanese versions for Roto as well, both in kanji and hiragana.

In the ending sequence of {{XI}}, the {{Luminary}} is bestowed the title of Erdrick for saving the land of [[Erdrea]] from [[Calasmos]]. As the game contains several homages to past titles, the connection of {{III}} and {{XI}} (if any) is up to player interpretation.

In the real-world Old English language, the word "eard" means "world," while "-ric" is a common suffix for names translating to "ruler." Thus, "Erdrick" can be said to mean "ruler of the world."

In the HD-2D Remake of ''I'', the Hero is revealed to have received the title as well, and he is referred to as such in ''II''.

In Saori Kumi's three part novel series ''Senrei [[Rubiss]] Densetsu'' (精霊ルビス伝説), the title of Erdrick is revealed to be the birth name of the Goddess' half-human lover Diaruto Kentoropige. Diaruto would embrace his human name over the course of the series and would take up that name throughout his reincarnations, thus spreading disconnected legends of an incredible hero throughout the centuries until the people of [[Alefgard]] came to recognize it as a title reserved for the greatest of heroes.

==Localization history==
Erdrick is a term invented for the North American release of the original trilogy. In the original Japanese version games Erdrick is known exclusively by the name '''Roto'''--this is written in runes on the shield bearing the name in official art. Another romanization of the name is '''Loto''', which was used in place of Erdrick when [[Enix|Enix America, Inc.]] re-released {{Dragon Quest}}, {{II}} and {{III}} on the {{Game Boy Color}}. This was done due to the space constraints of the [[Game Boy]]'s screen, with the "L" being chosen for unknown reasons.

When {{DQ9}} was released in North America and Europe, the name Erdrick was once again used to refer to the legendary {{Hero 3}} of {{Dragon Quest III}}, effectively returning to the original English localization from the {{NES}} era.

==Items Iconography==
In {{I}} and {{II}}, there are several items that bear Erdrick as a part of their names. See the ''[[Erdrick Equipment]]'' article for more detail.

====[[Erdrick's Sword]]====
Also known as the Sword of Kings, this is the most powerful sword in {{I}} and {{III}}. The sword is not the most powerful in {{XI}}, but boasts an incredibly high {{Attack}} bonus nonetheless.

====[[Erdrick's Armour]]====
The most powerful armour in the [[Erdrick trilogy|original trilogy]], which protects against the damage from poison swamps and barriers, and restores {{HP}} while walking. It is also known as Armour of Erdrick in {{II}} and as [[Auroral Armour]] in {{III}}.

====[[Erdrick's Shield]]====
The [[Hero's Shield]] is the name found in {{III}}. It is called the Shield of Erdrick only in {{II}}, as it does not exist in the original versions of {{I}}, though it is found in {{DQ1HD}}.

====[[Erdrick's Helmet]]====
This item exists only in {{Dragon Quest II}}, as there is no specific helm referred to as such in {{III}}. In the remakes the player can acquire ''[[Ortega's Helm]]'', which bears a distinct similarity to Erdrick's helmet from {{II}}. In the HD-2D Remake of {{III}}, Ortega's Helm can be upgraded into the [[Auroral helm]], the original name of Erdrick's helmet.

====[[Mark of Erdrick]]====
An object which proves the {{Hero 1}}'s lineage in {{I}}, which is found in a swamp south of [[Cantlin]]. In {{III}}, the emblem is referred to as the [[Sacred amulet]].

====[[Erdrick's Tablet]]====
A message written in stone by the {{Hero 3}} of {{Dragon Quest III}}, and left for the {{Hero 1}} in ''[[Dragon Quest]]''. It gives instructions on what items are needed to reach the Isle of Dragons, which is the location of the [[Dragonlord's Castle]]. The tablet is found in a cave north of Tantegel castle, called [[Erdrick's Cave]].

==Other References to Erdrick==
*In the opening scene of {{Dragon Quest V}}, the protagonist's father, [[Pankraz]], suggests the name "{{Madason}}" for his son. His wife, [[Madalena]], disagrees, and suggests the name which the player entered. If the player already entered the name "{{Madason}}", [[Pankraz]] will suggest "Erdrick" instead.
*In the US translation of {{Dragon Quest VI}} ([[Nintendo DS]] and [[Cell phone]] Version), an {{NPC}} in [[Gallows Moor]] goes by the name of Erdrick.
*In the original ''[[Final Fantasy]]'', a role-playing game produced by [[Square]], there is a grave for Erdrick in the cemetery of the Elf village (in the remakes and the original Japanese version of ''[[Final Fantasy]]'', the grave belongs to [[Nintendo]]'s Link).
*Erdrick's sword is obtainable ''Final Fantasy XII''. It's the third-strongest weapon in the game and has the highest combo rate, but it's also the slowest. In the Japanese version, it's called the Toro Sword, Toro being Roto backwards. The English localization named it "Wyrmhero Blade", which is a synonym for "{{Dragon Warrior}}". Other localizations kept the original name, and it happens to mean "Sword of the Bull" in Spanish and Italian.
*In the demo for ''[[Dragon Quest Builders]]'', the player's default name is "Buildrick".
*In ''[[Fortune Street]]'', if certain characters are on the [[Alefgard]] board, they will refer to Erdrick either by name or indirect reference:

The '''Dragonlord''' is the main antagonist and final boss of the original {{Dragon Quest}}. Before the game starts, he steals the [[Sphere of Light]] from [[Tantegel]] Castle to unleash his forces of darkness upon [[Alefgard]] to fulfill his birthright as the son of the [[Dragon Queen]]; he then kidnaps [[Princess Gwaelin]] to hold her hostage and prevent her father from challenging his new tyranny, as well as to interrogate her on matters regarding [[Rubiss]].

At the end of {{Dragon Quest}}, the {{Hero 1}} defeated the Dragonlord and restored peace to [[Alefgard]].

==Characteristics==
The Dragonlord resides in [[Dragonlord's Castle]] (Formerly referred to in past localizations as [[Dragonlord's Castle|Charlock Castle]]), which is located to the southeast across the water from [[Tantegel]] Castle. Within the castle, the Dragonlord resides on the bottom-most level. Throughout the game, the Dragonlord never leaves the castle, similar to [[Hargon]] in {{Dragon Quest II}}.

While around the size of the hero in older versions of the game, the Dragonlord towers over both his subjects and the humans of Tantegel in the HD-2D Remake, even in his untransformed form.

===Personality===
Being the first villain of the series, the Dragonlord displays several traits that would define the archetypal arch-fiend; he is a vain, power-hungry despot who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, whether it be imprisoning a maiden deep beneath the earth or wiping [[Damdara]] off the map just to make a point.

Though brutal and mindlessly savage at first glance, these actions are actually well planned tactics meant to secure the scaley lord's political power in [[Alefgard]]. As mentioned above, the kidnapping of the [[Princess Gwaelin|princess]] is meant to keep the king and citizens from so much as daring to think about standing up to him, and the obliteration of the kingdom's highest [[Damdara|commerce center]] meant that trade with [[Torland|outer lands]] would be crippled. Indeed, the very fact that the Dragonlord's first move in his plan was to steal the [[Sphere of Light]] shows that the would-be despot plans his actions very carefully.

When confronted by the {{Hero 1}}, the Dragonlord offers him the chance to split the world and rule half of it as his ally. This was an unprecedented move for a video game villain in 1986, when most antagonists had either no personality to speak of or theirs was confined to the pages of a manual. By offering to make a deal when cornered by the {{Hero 1}}, the Dragonlord proves that his aspirations are truly political in nature, and not blindly dedicated to chaos for chaos' sake. Indeed, {{Builders}} expands on this, indicating that he's more of a radical activist for {{MFamilies}}s and treats them very well, being seen as a king of kings by them. Additionally he has no desire to exterminate [[human]]ity, but rather wishes for monsters to rule over them the way (in his view) [[human]]s have ruled over {{MFamilies}}s.

In battle, the Dragonlord appears as a humanoid sorcerer who possesses the skill of [[Magic and Abilities|magic]] but is fairly weak, physically speaking. After receiving enough damage, the Dragonlord [[Puff!|transforms]] into a more powerful, dragon form (his "true" form). The music also changes to the final battle theme.

===Select quotes===
*''"So, thou art come before me at last, {{Hero 1}}! And bearing tribute unto my glory in the form of [[Princess Gwaelin|a fair princess]] no less! Hm hm hm! I am honoured in deed!"''
*''"I am the Dragonlord, master of masters, king of kings! Long have I awaited this moment. Come! Take thy rightful place at my side! Do so, and I will grant unto thee dominion over half the world!"''
*''"What say'st thou? Wilt thou rule beside me?"''
*''"Thou art a fool!"''
*''" Very well. Then half of the world shall be thine. And if ever thou should fall in battle, I shall revive thee at no cost! Now, fall into a deep, dark sleep! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"''

===Descendants===
In {{Dragon Quest II}}, a more friendly [[Dragonlord's grandson|descendant of the Dragonlord]] resides in the ruins of his [[Dragonlord's Castle|Castle]]. The child is very proud of his grandfather's attempt at world domination, and is very annoyed at [[Hargon]]'s own attempts, seeing the effort as an upstaging of his family's legacy. He aid's the {{Party 2}} by giving vital information regarding the [[5 Sigils]].

==Appearances==
==={{DQ}}===
The Dragonlord is the villain and final boss of the original game.

When encountered at [[Dragonlord's Castle|his castle]], the Dragonlord offers the {{Hero 1}} an opportunity to rule half of [[Alefgard]] with him. The {{Hero 1}} refuses and eventually defeats the Dragonlord in battle, retrieving the [[Sphere of Light]]

The {{Hero 1}} can accept the Dragonlord's offer to rule half the world; what happens after that differs between versions. In the {{Famicom}}/{{NES}} release, the Dragonlord mocks the {{Hero 1}} while the menus turn red, the screen fades to black, and the game freezes, implying the {{Hero 1}} has died. In the Japanese {{Famicom}} version, the Dragonlord also provides a special [[Spell of Restoration]] that starts the player off at level 1 with no equipment. In the remakes, accepting the Dragonlord's offer merely causes the {{Hero 1}} to faint and reappear outside [[Tantegel]] Castle.

The [[Dragonlord's great-great-grandson|grandson of the Dragonlord]] resides in the same location in {{Dragon Quest II}}. He is a character of core importance as he informs the [[Luminaries|heroes]] of their need to collect the [[5 Sigils|Crests]] and contact [[Rubiss]].

==={{DQ3}}===
Although not specifically mentioned, the Dragonlord inherits [[Zoma's Citadel]] sometime after [[Zoma]] was defeated by the {{Hero 3}} at the end of {{Dragon Quest III}}. Also, according to the ''[[The Emblem of Roto|Emblem of Roto]]'' manga, the [[Dragon Queen]]'s egg is most likely Dragonlord. However, the official guidebook states that the Dragonlord was a [[human]] who discovered he could control {{Dragon}}s, which led to some controversy. In the [[Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake|HD-2D remake]], it is confirmed that the Dragonlord is the Dragon Queen's child and egg, while [[Hargon|the High Priest]] of [[Castle of the Dragon Queen|her castle]] raises him.

The Dragonlord appears as a {{Legacy Boss}} in this game. His map can only be obtained as a rare drop from [[Greygnarl]] in {{Grotto}}es. Unlike most other Legacy Bosses, he does not use magic, relying on breath attacks and physical attacks, and becomes [[enraged]] by anyone that inflicts a [[Critical Hit]] or whose spell goes haywire on him. Note that the Dragonlord is classified under the [[??? family]], which means [[Dragon Slash]] and related effects do not apply to him.

====Strategy====
You should have one or two healers and two main damage dealers. A character with 100 skill points in Fource
and another with the [[Skill_Manuals#Minstrel's_Manual|'Minstrel's Manual']] is important. [[Double Up]] is also viable. At the start of the battle, apply [[Gale Fource]] and support spells such as [[Oomph]] and [[Kabuff]]. Have your main healer cast [[Multiheal]] after every breath attack and a [[Sage]] with [[Kazing]] is to revive any {{Party 9}} member who gets hit with a critical attack. Your main damage dealer should use a multi-hit attack such as [[Multifists]] or [[Falcon Slash]] with a [[Falcon blade]]. If the boss casts [[Disruptive Wave]], apply your buffs again and keep hitting him until he goes down.

The Dragonlord (DracoLord at the time) acts as the boss of the Gate of Ambition and will attempt to draw [[Terry]] over to his side in the same way he attempts to bargain with the {{Hero 1}} in the original {{Dragon Quest}}. but even if you replied yes, he would laugh and still challenge you.

==={{DQB}}===
The nature of ''[[Dragon Quest Builders|Builders]]'' is a what-if story in which the {{Hero 1}} fell for the Dragonlord's ruse and took his offer for half the world. Warping the {{Hero 1}}'s mind into that of a bumbling barbarian, none stood in the Dragonlord's way as he cast the entire archipelago of [[Alefgard]] into darkness. Furthermore, the scaled sovereign placed a curse upon the population that blocked all memory of building from their minds--while a person may recognize the individual materials used to construct something, the moment they move to craft the curse activates and seals the person's memory of ''how'' the materials are used, effectively sending the population to the stone age and forcing them into an arduous existence living off the bare expanse of the despoiled land.

From his perverse perspective, the Dragonlord considered this to be an act of mercy--he states that through building [[human]]s rebel against their fates and in turn only bring upon more miserable ones to their lives. He explains that he had no choice but to muddle minds, for if he did not the world would be thrown out of balance and fall into ruin. As the Builder is the last remaining vestige of the spark of creativity, they must be snuffed out under his heel.

The Dragonlord is unimpressed with the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders)|Builder]], stating they are nothing more than but a mere puppet of [[Rubiss]]. Privy to the Goddess' forsaking of the Builder near the end of Chapter four, he attempts to use this schism and uncertainty to cloud the child's mind when he is bested in his humanoid form. Offering half the world, the Dragonlord states that the Builder's role in [[Rubiss]]'s scheme has ended and they should now allow themselves to be a slave to one that has already abandoned them. Whispering with a forked-tongue, he sweetens the deal by ''promising'' the land the Builder will inherit will not be one of ashen darkness that [[Alefgard]] has become, but one of light where they may build their own kingdom as they see fit. If the Builder refuses the offer, the Dragonlord points out that if they fail to defeat him then all the towns, villages, and friends they have made will be rent asunder.

==={{DQB2}}===
The Dragonlord is mentioned in passing by a [[Skeleton|crew member]] of Captain Whitebone’s ship, but otherwise he does not make any appearance. However, the player can unlock his throne if they have a save of ''[[Dragon Quest Builders]]'' on the same system, allowing them to temporary take his appearance whenever they sit on the throne.

==={{DQTreasures}}===
The Dragonlord is represented by [[List of treasures in Dragon Quest Treasures|statues]] of both his forms, with base values of 4,440,000 and 5,550,000 respectively.

The Dragonlord made his debut in the first card pack as a legendary rare card. Upon his death, he reveals his true form. Although he was restricted in normal use, he eventually appeared in the seventh card pack, "Strange Tale of Light and Darkness" under the title "Dragonlord, Incarnation of Evil". As a reference to his original appearance, the Dragonlord will offer the opponent half of the world. If the opponent agrees, the screen goes dark and they are defeated on the spot. If they refuse, he will inflict 4 damage to a random unit or the enemy leader.
*When the game's name was changed to {{Rivals Ace}}, the Dragonlord appeared as the boss of the Dragonlord's Castle in the Solo Battle Adventure Mode and eventually became an alternate leader character for the Demon Swordsman vocation.

==={{DQTact}}===
The Dragonlord and his True Form appear as S-rank members of the [[??? family]] during the original ''Dragon Quest I'' event, both appearing on their own banners. [[Cosmic chimaera]] appears on the Dragonlord's banner, while [[Dark skeleton]] appears on his True Form's banner. Both can be faced as bosses in the story quests, with the Dragonlord being faced in Chapter 4, Episode 5, while his True Form is faced in Chapter 4, Episode 6. His humanoid form can also participate in the event Battle Road, as well as the [[Slime|Blossom Slime]]'s Battle Road as a party member.

The Dragonlord's True Form, along with the other Demon Lords, could be challenged as part of the Fiendish Onslaught, as well. Either of the Dragonlord's forms could also be scouted by the player by redeeming their Dark Lord/Hero Meeting Ticket S.

===''[[Itadaki Street Special]]''===
The Dragonlord, in his [[human]] form, is a playable character in ''[[Itadaki Street Special]]''.

==={{SSB5}}===
While the Dragonlord himself doesn't appear in the game, he is referenced in the {{Hero Smash}}'s Classic Mode path on the seventh and final stage. He is initially represented by Robin (from ''Fire Emblem: Awakening'') in his blue outfit fought on Dracula's Castle (from ''Castlevania'') in its Ω form. After Robin is defeated, a giant purple Charizard (from ''[[Pokémon]]'') takes his place for the remainder of the fight. This two phase battle references the Dragonlord's two forms as a sorcerer and a {{Dragon}} in the original {{Dragon Quest}}.

==In animation==
The Dragonlord appeared as an antagonist to The N Team in {{Captain N}}, and worked with Mother Brain in his first appearance. In the show, he is a giant red dragon and lacks a [[human]] form.

Dragonlord appears in three episodes:
*Episode 7: "Three Men & A Dragon"
*Episode 23: "Trojan Dragon"
*Episode 24: "I Wish I Was a Wombatman" (Robotic replica)

The Dragonlord is the only character from a {{Main Series}} game to appear in both episodes, with a [[Blue dragon]] appearing in Episode 7, and [[Slime]]s, as well [[Knight aberrant|Axe knight]] appearing in Episode 23.

==Trivia==
*The Dragonlord bears a striking resemblance to Maleficent from Disney's ''Sleeping Beauty'', with both wielding staves, donning flowing, high-collared robes, having abnormally colored skin, yellow eyes, and possessing the ability to transform into large dragons that have purple coloration. Additionally, while it is unclear whether the Dragonlord has horns, a headpiece of some kind, or simply unusually-shaped hair, it is nevertheless similar in appearance to Maleficent's horned headpiece.
*The ''Dragon Quest 25th Anniversary Adventure History Book'' confirms that the Dragonlord is a descendant of the Dragon Queen, though it is unknown if he is her son or a descendant further down the family line.
*The Dragonlord will have special text if you free [[Princess Gwaelin]] from the [[green dragon]] and battle Dragonlord immediately afterwards, without dropping the beloved princess off at [[Tantegel]].

Erdrick

Madrat:

[[File:DQ III Android Erdrick's Emblem.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Erdrick's Emblem from the ending of {{III}} on the [[Cell phone]] version.]]
'''Erdrick''' (ロト, ''Roto'') is a recurring title awarded to legendary heroes from the {{Main Series}} series, and specifically the playable characters of {{Dragon Quest III}} and {{XI}}. The first three {{Main Series}} games are called the "[[Erdrick Trilogy]]", as each relate to the character of Erdrick in some way. Although they do not appear in {{I}} or {{II}}, Erdrick is mentioned heavily in the game dialog and many items bear their name.

The name Erdrick is referenced in many of the later main {{Main Series}} games, as well as some spin-offs. Due to the name being exclusively used in association with the protagonist of {{III}} for several decades, the title was treated as the character's name by both fans and media. With the arrival of {{XI}}, this connection has steadily lessened and the term Erdrick has become a title of status independent of any particular character.

For the three characters who received this title, see:
*[[Hero (Dragon Quest)]]
*[[Hero (Dragon Quest III)]]
*[[Luminary (Dragon Quest XI)]]

==Origins of Title==
At the end of {{III}} the [[King of Alefgard]] bestows upon the {{Hero 3}} '''''the Order of Erdrick''''', the country’s highest honor reserved only for true heroes. This implies that there have been several Erdricks throughout history. The {{Hero 3}} is referred to by this title in all references outside of {{Dragon Quest III}}.

Attempting to name the {{Hero 3}} "Erdrick" in {{III}} for the {{NES}} will generate a message requesting the player to enter their real name; however, if a space is added at the end, the warning message will not be displayed and the game may be played with the {{Hero 3}} being named "Erdrick ". The same restriction applies in the Japanese versions for Roto as well, both in kanji and hiragana.

In the ending sequence of {{XI}}, the {{Luminary}} is bestowed the title of Erdrick for saving the land of [[Erdrea]] from [[Calasmos]]. As the game contains several homages to past titles, the connection of {{III}} and {{XI}} (if any) is up to player interpretation.

In the real-world Old English language, the word "eard" means "world," while "-ric" is a common suffix for names translating to "ruler." Thus, "Erdrick" can be said to mean "ruler of the world."

In the HD-2D Remake of {{I}}, the Hero is revealed to have received the title as well, and he is referred to as such in {{II}}.

In Saori Kumi's three part novel series ''Senrei [[Rubiss]] Densetsu'' (精霊ルビス伝説), the title of Erdrick is revealed to be the birth name of the Goddess' half-human lover Diaruto Kentoropige. Diaruto would embrace his human name over the course of the series and would take up that name throughout his reincarnations, thus spreading disconnected legends of an incredible hero throughout the centuries until the people of [[Alefgard]] came to recognize it as a title reserved for the greatest of heroes.

==Localization history==
Erdrick is a term invented for the North American release of the original trilogy. In the original Japanese version games Erdrick is known exclusively by the name '''Roto'''--this is written in runes on the shield bearing the name in official art. Another romanization of the name is '''Loto''', which was used in place of Erdrick when [[Enix|Enix America, Inc.]] re-released {{Dragon Quest}}, {{II}} and {{III}} on the {{Game Boy Color}}. This was done due to the space constraints of the [[Game Boy]]'s screen, with the "L" being chosen for unknown reasons.

When {{DQ9}} was released in North America and Europe, the name Erdrick was once again used to refer to the legendary {{Hero 3}} of {{Dragon Quest III}}, effectively returning to the original English localization from the {{NES}} era.

==Items Iconography==
In {{I}} and {{II}}, there are several items that bear Erdrick as a part of their names. See the ''[[Erdrick Equipment]]'' article for more detail.

====[[Erdrick's Sword]]====
Also known as the Sword of Kings, this is the most powerful sword in {{I}} and {{III}}. The sword is not the most powerful in {{XI}}, but boasts an incredibly high {{Attack}} bonus nonetheless.

====[[Erdrick's Armour]]====
The most powerful armour in the [[Erdrick trilogy|original trilogy]], which protects against the damage from poison swamps and barriers, and restores {{HP}} while walking. It is also known as Armour of Erdrick in {{II}} and as [[Auroral Armour]] in {{III}}.

====[[Erdrick's Shield]]====
The [[Hero's Shield]] is the name found in {{III}}. It is called the Shield of Erdrick only in {{II}}, as it does not exist in the original versions of {{I}}, though it is found in {{DQ1HD}}.

====[[Erdrick's Helmet]]====
This item exists only in {{Dragon Quest II}}, as there is no specific helm referred to as such in {{III}}. In the remakes the player can acquire ''[[Ortega's Helm]]'', which bears a distinct similarity to Erdrick's helmet from {{II}}. In the HD-2D Remake of {{III}}, Ortega's Helm can be upgraded into the [[Auroral helm]], the original name of Erdrick's helmet.

====[[Mark of Erdrick]]====
An object which proves the {{Hero 1}}'s lineage in {{I}}, which is found in a swamp south of [[Cantlin]]. In {{III}}, the emblem is referred to as the [[Sacred amulet]].

====[[Erdrick's Tablet]]====
A message written in stone by the {{Hero 3}} of {{Dragon Quest III}}, and left for the {{Hero 1}} in ''[[Dragon Quest]]''. It gives instructions on what items are needed to reach the Isle of Dragons, which is the location of the [[Dragonlord's Castle]]. The tablet is found in a cave north of Tantegel castle, called [[Erdrick's Cave]].

==Other References to Erdrick==
*In the opening scene of {{Dragon Quest V}}, the protagonist's father, [[Pankraz]], suggests the name "{{Madason}}" for his son. His wife, [[Madalena]], disagrees, and suggests the name which the player entered. If the player already entered the name "{{Madason}}", [[Pankraz]] will suggest "Erdrick" instead.
*In the US translation of {{Dragon Quest VI}} ([[Nintendo DS]] and [[Cell phone]] Version), an {{NPC}} in [[Gallows Moor]] goes by the name of Erdrick.
*In the original ''[[Final Fantasy]]'', a role-playing game produced by [[Square]], there is a grave for Erdrick in the cemetery of the Elf village (in the remakes and the original Japanese version of ''[[Final Fantasy]]'', the grave belongs to [[Nintendo]]'s Link).
*Erdrick's sword is obtainable ''Final Fantasy XII''. It's the third-strongest weapon in the game and has the highest combo rate, but it's also the slowest. In the Japanese version, it's called the Toro Sword, Toro being Roto backwards. The English localization named it "Wyrmhero Blade", which is a synonym for "{{Dragon Warrior}}". Other localizations kept the original name, and it happens to mean "Sword of the Bull" in Spanish and Italian.
*In the demo for ''[[Dragon Quest Builders]]'', the player's default name is "Buildrick".
*In ''[[Fortune Street]]'', if certain characters are on the [[Alefgard]] board, they will refer to Erdrick either by name or indirect reference:
**"Just one time only, I wish to fight in battle with legendary hero, Erdrick." ([[Alena]])
**"The restful place from legendary hero Erdrick. I am with wish that there was opportunity to meet him." ([[Kiryl]])
**"Maybe the hero was a bit like my big brother, Alistair. You know, just maybe." ([[Jessica Albert]])
**"Oh, yeah! The home of the legendary hero! That sounds like the sort of person who should be on my list of clients. Can someone invite him over?" ([[Patty]])
**"... A legendary hero? If he's such a legend, maybe he should take my place while I'm out to lunch!" ([[Stella]])
**"My anslurpstors fought alongside the legendary hero from here. I bet they were really stout!" ([[Slime]])
**"This place has got some legendary hero, huh? I'm acquainted wid a hero myself as it happens. ... Some mortal schmoo who's always gettin' in our way!" ([[Platypunk]])
**"I guess Erdrick is the big cheese around these parts! I tip my hat to you, legendary hero!" (Mario)
**"Whoa! [[Alefgard]]! I want to meet the legendary dragon warrior Erdrick! But I forgot my camera! Wah-hah!" (Toad)
**"Yoshi Yoshi! (Erdrick may be the big hero in these parts, but Mario is the bestest hero in the galaxy!)" (Yoshi)
**"Yoo hoo! Oh, hero-man! Won't you come and rescue me? I'm helpless when it comes to rolling the die!" (Birdo)
**"What’s all this talk about a legendary hero? Is Mario already famous out here? Legendary hero, my spiny shell!" (Bowser)
**"Legendary hero, shmegendary hero! My dad’s way braver than any ol’ hero!" (Bowser Jr.)
**"Ooo? Ook ook! (This is the place to find hotshot heroes, huh? Well, you’re looking at one!)" (Donkey Kong)
**"Oookie? Ookity ook! (This place is famous for a legendary hero? Hey, that's what I want to be one day!)" (Diddy Kong)
**"Huh? Who cares about some legendary hero? The only legend you need to know about is the legend of WARIO!" (Wario)
**"If it's a legendary hero you want, look no further! I'm standing right here! Whee hee hee!" (Waluigi)
**"I don’t believe for a second in this legendary hero. If he DID exist, he’d be rescuing me right now!" (Princess Peach)
*[[Dragonlord]] also mentions Erdrick in ''[[Fortune Street]]'' when he lands on an expensive property owned by [[Princess of Moonbrooke|Princessa]].
**"Waaargh! Dim kin of Erdrick and his sin! Thou trowest me beat by these puny bills!?"

|}}
The '''Dream-Whisperer''' is the chief servant to the Goddess [[Rubiss]] who was added to {{Dragon Quest III}} in the 1996 remake, where she assessed the {{Hero 3}}'s personality through the [[Dream Scenario]] in the game's opening. Her role has been expanded in the HD-2D remakes of the [[Erdrick Trilogy]] and the HD remake of the original game and its sequel in particular, where she receives a proper name and is revealed to be the leader of the [[Elves and Faeries|faeries]] who dwell in [[Alefgard|the underworld]].

==Appearance and personality==
The Dream-Whisperer is a faerie and in the 1996 {{Super Famicom}} version of the game she used the same sprite as the [[Queen of Faeries]]. The HD-2D version gives her a design of her own, where she is a blonde woman wearing a red dress with puffy white shoulders. Her accessories are a pair of gold bracers with a matching brooch set with a large, green gem, and and a blue staff topped with a golden apple ornament set with another green gem. As with all faeries in the underworld she now has a set of four translucent wings.

Her personality is not conveyed through her dialogue in the 1996 version of the game beyond being an astute observer of [[human]] character and speaking in the laid-back, child-like manner typical of her kind. The additional lines of dialogue in the HD-2D version give her a proper sense of character, however, depicting her as a faithful devout to her Goddess who does all she can to aid in her restoration. She develops a certain fondness for the {{Hero 3}} over the course of the game through her dream guidance, having total confidence that they will bring peace to the world.

The Dream-Whisperer has a more friendly attitude towards Rubiss, regarding her as more a colleague or close associate. Unlike most faeries, she bears no ill will towards humans, usually contacting Erdrick's descendants in their dreams. Despite her calm disposition, Dream-Whisperer is silently furious at the Dragonlord's attacks on the faeries, and remains defiant against whatever threats may come.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ1HD}}===
The Dream-Whisperer is attempting to summon Rubiss back to the world after the Goddess' disappearance, though she is driven off by the [[Dragonlord]]'s army following his initial invasion of Faerie Village. The faeries Arm-Twister and Day-Dreamer ask the {{Hero 1}} to find her after he finds them within Craggy Cave.

==={{DQ2HD}}===
The Dream-Whisperer now resides within the Faerie Palace, built in the century between the events of ''I'' and ''II'' as a response to the Dragonlord's attack on Faerie Village that slaughtered many of them. She initially contacts the Luminaries when they stay in the inn in Rippleport, beckoning them to the Shrine of Rain to see Over-Seer. As a Keeper, she is able to communicate with the other keepers, including her right-hand, Over-Seer over long distances. During the events of the game, [[Belial]] invades the Faerie Palace, and following his initial defeat and revealing that his colleague, Mariella, is invading Mersea, Dream-Whisperer directs the Luminaries towards Mersea. She also gives them Lorelei's Harp in order for them to travel underwater.

==={{DQ3}}===
The servant of Rubiss speaks to the {{Hero 3}} in a dream on the morning of their sixteenth birthday, during which she poses a series of questions to assess the [[List of personality types in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake|personality]] of the world's savior. Depending on the player's answers her assessment can be rather blunt, and it is implied that she is the mysterious voice that speaks to the Hero upon the vanquishing of [[Baramos]].

Much later, after entering the underworld, the Hero will meet the servant of Rubiss face-to-face in the [[Shrine of the Spirit]]. Here she will give the player the [[Staff of Rain|staff of rain]] in order to be combined with the [[sunstone]] to create the [[Rainbow Drop|rainbow drop]] and reach the [[Zoma's Citadel|devil's castle]]. She will also make a half-hearted apology if she spoke too harshly of the Hero during the [[Dream Scenario]] evaluation at the beginning of the game. During the finale she will thank the Hero for saving her world, and tell them that [[Rubiss]] is looking forward to meeting them again some day.

==={{DQ3HD}}===
The servant of Rubiss has been promoted to a major character through the scenario additions to the game, where in she now watches over the Hero throughout the journey and gives the player guidance after major events. Specifically, she will speak in the Hero's dreams after obtaining the [[ship]] in [[Portoga]] to inform the player of the [[Six Orbs]] being vital to the quest's success, congratulate the Hero after slaying the wicked [[Orochi]], and tells the Hero to seek out the [[boatman's bone]] and the [[Mountaincleaver]] sword after bringing peace to [[Manoza]]. It is also confirmed that she is indeed the voice who speaks to the Hero after [[Baramos]]' defeat.

When speaking to her in the [[Shrine of the Spirit]], she will explain that chose to contact the Hero herself due to the Goddess' petrification. Her apology for any rudeness during the Dream Scenario is less flimsy as well, and gives the Hero clear instructions to free Rubiss from her [[Tower of Rubiss|eponymous tower]] where Zoma imprisoned her. After handing over the staff of rain she will take flight to spread glittering dust from her wings over the party, restoring their {{HP}} and {{MP}}. Her dialogue during the ending remains the same as in the 16-bit remake.

==Trivia==
*As the character had no given name prior to 2025 she was informally referred to by fans as the ''Servant of Rubiss''.

The Dream-Whisperer is attempting to summon Rubiss back to the world after the Goddess' disappearance, though she is driven off by the [[Dragonlord]]'s army following his initial invasion of Faerie Village. The faeries Arm-Twister and Day-Dreamer ask the {{Hero 1}} to find her after he finds them within Craggy Cave.

==={{DQ2HD}}===
The Dream-Whisperer now resides within the Faerie Palace, built in the century between the events of ''I'' and ''II'' as a response to the Dragonlord's attack on Faerie Village that slaughtered many of them. As a Keeper, she is able to communicate with her right-hand, Over-Seer over long distances. During the events of the game, [[Belial]] invades the Faerie Palace, and following his initial defeat and revealing that his colleague, Mariella, is invading Mersea, Dream-Whisperer directs the Luminaries towards Mersea. She also gives them Lorelei's Harp in order for them to travel underwater.

==={{DQ3}}===
The servant of Rubiss speaks to the {{Hero 3}} in a dream on the morning of their sixteenth birthday, during which she poses a series of questions to assess the [[List of personality types in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake|personality]] of the world's savior. Depending on the player's answers her assessment can be rather blunt, and it is implied that she is the mysterious voice that speaks to the Hero upon the vanquishing of [[Baramos]].

Much later, after entering the underworld, the Hero will meet the servant of Rubiss face-to-face in the [[Shrine of the Spirit]]. Here she will give the player the [[Staff of Rain|staff of rain]] in order to be combined with the [[sunstone]] to create the [[Rainbow Drop|rainbow drop]] and reach the [[Zoma's Citadel|devil's castle]]. She will also make a half-hearted apology if she spoke too harshly of the Hero during the [[Dream Scenario]] evaluation at the beginning of the game. During the finale she will thank the Hero for saving her world, and tell them that [[Rubiss]] is looking forward to meeting them again some day.

==={{DQ3HD}}===
The servant of Rubiss has been promoted to a major character through the scenario additions to the game, where in she now watches over the Hero throughout the journey and gives the player guidance after major events. Specifically, she will speak in the Hero's dreams after obtaining the [[ship]] in [[Portoga]] to inform the player of the [[Six Orbs]] being vital to the quest's success, congratulate the Hero after slaying the wicked [[Orochi]], and tells the Hero to seek out the [[boatman's bone]] and the [[Mountaincleaver]] sword after bringing peace to [[Manoza]]. It is also confirmed that she is indeed the voice who speaks to the Hero after [[Baramos]]' defeat.

When speaking to her in the [[Shrine of the Spirit]], she will explain that chose to contact the Hero herself due to the Goddess' petrification. Her apology for any rudeness during the Dream Scenario is less flimsy as well, and gives the Hero clear instructions to free Rubiss from her [[Tower of Rubiss|eponymous tower]] where Zoma imprisoned her. After handing over the staff of rain she will take flight to spread glittering dust from her wings over the party, restoring their {{HP}} and {{MP}}. Her dialogue during the ending remains the same as in the 16-bit remake.

==Trivia==
*As the character had no given name prior to 2025 she was informally referred to by fans as the ''Servant of Rubiss''.

Children of Hargon

2025-11-06T19:16:25Z

Madrat:

[[File:Hargon emblem.jpg|right|thumb|The mark of malice worn by all members of the cult]]
The '''Children of Hargon'''  is the collective name for the enemies of ''Dragon Quest II'' and ''Dragon Quest Builders II''. Lead by the [[Hargon|eponymous leader]], it is an apocalyptic cult dedicated to summoning the [[Malroth|god of destruction]] into the world.
==Appearances==
==={{DQ2}}===
Though unnamed in their debut title, the sect nevertheless plays a critical role in the game's plot. Beginning with the opening sequence depicting the siege of Castle [[Moonbrooke]], the Children of Hargon start their jihad on the peaceful world by spreading as much destruction and misery as possible. This culminates in the Scions of Erdrick raiding their [[Hargon's Castle|fortress]] hidden away in the frozen hellscape of [[Rendarak]].
===''[[Dragon Quest Builders 2]]''===
The cult is the primary antagonistic force and oppose the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders 2)|Builder]] at every turn. As described in their doctrine, members are duty-bound to destroy any and all structures they come across and to prevent the creation of new things. Many of the followers are hypocritical in their actions and will request that others outside the faith repair and create things for them.

The cult is comprised of both human followers and monster followers, though many of the human followers were simply forced into the fold under threat of death. Many of the conscripted cultists are easily convinced to abandon their faith when the Builder saves them from squalor.

Many lower ranking members of the cult incorrectly believed that their faith would stave off their destruction upon the revival of the [[Malroth|god of destruction]]. Unlike his original goal, to create a world into his ideal vision, Hargon now simply wanted to destroy everything permanently as revenge for his death at the hands of the Scions of Erdrick.

===''[[Dragon Quest Tact]]''===
Known as the Order of Hargon in this entry, they reprise their villainous roles for the ''Dragon Quest II'' event, serving as enemies while [[Mindini]] is transformed into a dog instead of [[Princess of Moonbrooke|Peronel]]. A Gremlin and a Madusa also have Battle Road side stories detailing their jobs in the Order until after facing off with two of the Trinity the High Priest summoned, resulting in their desertion.

==Insidious iconography==
The Children of Hargon bear the mark of a black bat with a sinister smile. In ''[[Dragon Quest Builders 2|Builders 2]]'', the emblem on the Hoods and Hoodlums’ capes is white. Note that due to monster designs (and entire sprites in some cases) being brought forward from ''II'' into sequels and spin-off titles, this does not imply that some faction of the cult happens to exist in that particular setting.

==Known members==
*[[Hargon]] (Leader)

Hargon's Champions:
*[[Belial]]
*[[Pazuzu]]
*[[Atlas]]
*[[Mariella]]

In addition to the profane pontiff, and his champions, the flock of fiends consists of the following enemies:

{{Translation|'''Hargon'''|ハーゴン , Hāgon}}, mad cultist of [[Rendarak]], is the primary antagonist in {{Dragon Quest II}}.

His cult, the aptly named [[Children of Hargon]], seek to usher in an age of misery and destruction by summoning the god of destruction. To accomplish one stage of this mission, Hargon sent his minions to attack [[Moonbrooke]] Castle at the beginning of {{Dragon Quest II}}, killing the king and destroying the palace.

Although defeating him appears to be the final objective of the descendants of [[Erdrick]] from [[Hero (Dragon Quest II)|Midenhall]], [[Prince of Cannock|Cannock]], and [[Princess of Moonbrooke|Moonbrooke]], Hargon was in fact a corrupt cleric that planned to summon the God of Destruction, [[Malroth]], whom the heroes must ultimately destroy after defeating Hargon.

Hargon has made regular appearances in the {{Monsters Series}} series and other spinoffs, as well as appearing as a central antagonist in ''[[Dragon Quest Builders 2]]''.

==Characteristics==
Hargon is a blue-skinned humanoid being who wields a crystal ball-topped staff in his right hand that is much taller than himself. On his head he wears a finned cowl bearing a circular gem at the forehead, around his neck a necklace with a crystal pendant, and has a shroud draped over his body that prominently shows off a stylized bat. This bat is the emblem of his cult, and can be seen on monsters serving him such as the [[Sorcerer]], [[Hargonaut]], and [[Wrecktor (Recurring)|Wrecktor]]. He also wears sandals. When he first appeared, Hargon had four fingers on each hand, but later illustrations changed it to five fingers like many other humanoid monsters in the series.

Hargon is as arrogant and indignant as becoming of a villain. He is also a potent sorcerer, able to cast powerful magic and invoke terrible curses on those that would defy him. Hargon often has an affinity for explosive magic, particularly Kaboom as it was the most powerful spell in the game when he first appeared.

Hargon is knowledgeable of the threats around him, and destroyed the kingdom of Rendarak, turning it into his base of operations. He later sends his Champions to subdue various threats against him around the world, namely from Rubiss, and launches a surprise attack on the kingdom of Moonbrooke due not only to its proximity, but also the many powerful magic users who lived there, knowing that it was undefended since the fall of Rendarak. As a sorcerer, Hargon prefers delegating much of the brunt work and defence to particularly high-ranking minions, namely his Champions.

{{spoiler|start}} Hargon is extremely devoted to his former matron, the [[Dragon Queen]]. At the end of the third game, he vows to turn [[Dragonlord|her offspring]] into a fine leader, out of a misguided belief that a new world will honor her. When the Dragonlord is defeated by the {{Hero 1}}, Hargon remains steadfast in his devotion, vowing once more to her that he will see his idealized world through in her name. Because he was the foster father of the Dragonlord, Hargon shows a particular fondness for the Dragonlord's great-grandson and seeks to recruit him into the Children of Hargon, even ordering the deaths of two minions who attempted to kill him.{{spoiler|end}}

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake|Dragon Quest I HD-2D Remake]]''===
{{spoiler|start}}Hargon makes a brief appearance in spirit, telling the Dragonlord that he will not be able to use the Sphere of Light. The Dragonlord largely ignores him, instead expressing confusion at the mysterious voice telling him things.

Following the credits, Hargon is seen on an altar, vowing to his former matron that despite her son's failure to remake the world, he will do it himself, swearing it upon his name once more.{{spoiler|end}}
==={{DQ2}}===
Hargon is established as the major villain at the start of the game, his minions attacking the kingdom of [[Moonbrooke]] and leaving only one soldier to struggle to [[Middenhall]] to deliver news of the attack before perishing from the hardships he endured. The [[Princess of Moonbrooke]], one of the descendants of [[Erdrick]], manages to survive the assault but is cursed by Hargon into the form of a dog.

Hargon is an antagonist and is encountered towards the end of the game. He is never actually directly fought by the player, however, and only appears in cutscenes.
{{spoiler|start}}The entire world that the Builder and [[Malroth]] explore is an illusion created by Hargon. Hargon is surprised it still exists after his death, but decides to use it to his advantage and attempt to revive Malroth once again. Using unclear methods, he draws Malroth and the Builder into the illusion; his intent is to use the illusory world as a sort of incubator with the Builder to restore Malroth's power.

Hargon's soul resides within Malroth, remaining from when he offered himself as a sacrifice in his original attempt to revive the Master of Destruction. It is due to his intertwining with Malroth's being that he is able to speak to Malroth in his head. Hargon patiently waits for Malroth's power to swell as the Builder continues creating things on the islands. Hargon does not reveal himself until Malroth's rapid power growth causes him to lose control of himself.

With Malroth's [[human]] guise incapacitated, Hargon spirits him away to coax him into shedding his human form that he has, in Hargon's opinion, grown too attached to. Hargon's methods here involve plunging Malroth into another illusion; in it Hargon offers Malroth's new friends, [[Lulu]], [[Rosie]], the other island residents, and the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders 2)|Builder]], as sacrifices, which Malroth unwittingly accepts. Malroth, upon realizing what he has done, does not know how to cope with this and begins to resume his true form and suppress his memories from his time with the Builder. Hargon is pleased with these results and watches as Malroth destroys [[Malhalla]] from his castle. Despite the progressing destruction of the realm Hargon retreated to, the Builder is able to arrive at Hargon's castle and confront Hargon and Malroth. The builder defeats a stunted Malroth, which ends up working out in Hagon's favor; it allows Malroth's human memories to finally be shed, resulting two separate Malroths. One being the weak discarded shedding of his human memories and the other being the rest of him. Hargon and the Master of Destruction then leave the castle as it is destroyed, leaving the Builder and the vestige of the Master of Destruction for dead. The Master of Destruction and Hargon are both proven wrong, however, as they are chased down by the Builder and Malroth.

As Hargon mostly spectates the battle, he and the humanoid avatar of Malroth have a discussion between blows on why Hargon wishes to destroy everything. Hargon initially insists the absolute annihilation was always his goal, but Malroth reminds Hargon that he had originally wanted to make another world after destroying the first one. Malroth even comments on the high quality of the illusory world and wishes for good friends to come to Hargon "in (his) next life". Hargon appears to relent, slightly, and states he will "consider it" if the Master of Destruction is defeated. Hargon is subsequently dealt a fatal blow and finally fades away.{{spoiler|end}}

==Trivia==
* While not meant to be fought as a proper enemy in ''Builders 2'', it is possible to strike him down as if he were via the spinning blade Flame Sword effect in battles where he is present in the background (where he is there as a background prop). He will eventually collapse as if defeated, but otherwise this is not noted by the story itself.

The '''Dragon Queen''' is a character who first appeared in {{Dragon Quest III}}.

She plays a small but crucial role in the game's story, and her status as one of the first friendly {{MFamilies}}s in the entire series has given her a lasting impression among fans.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The Dragon Queen is a bipedal dragon with green scales and blue wings, and she wears a golden amulet around her neck. She is the monarch of an [[Castle of the Dragon Queen|isolated land]] far east of the village of [[Khoryv]], nestled in a ring of tall mountains. The Queen's court consists of {{Faerie}}s, {{Dwarves}}, and talking animals, all of whom greatly revere her. Unlike the [[Queen of Faeries]], the Dragon Queen seemingly holds no ill prejudice against [[human]]ity. The Queen is soft-spoken but well informed, declaring herself to be a servant of the almighty Goddess. The Queen is seemingly aware of the existence of [[Zoma]] through her act of giving the {{Hero 3}} the [[Sphere of Light]], though she only mentions [[Baramos]]' title of archfiend when stating that the sphere belongs to the Hero through divine right.

Unfortunately, the Queen's life is nearing its end when the player encounters her and the court is stricken with grief. Her final act is to lay a single egg before fading away, which the player can then examine to feel the faint warmth of new life stirring within.

==={{DQ3HD}}===
The Dragon Queen has been resigned to be a quadrupedal dragon with lavender scales, silver horns, and yellow eyes. She is much larger than any human, towering over the {{party 3}} even when she is at rest.

Speaking with the Queen is now a mandatory part of the game, as only the Sphere of Light can pierce the impenetrable miasma that Zoma left to prevent passage into the [[Great Pit of Giaga]] when he briefly entered the world. The player is shown a brief cutscene of the cloudy mists surrounding the Queen's castle clearing on the morning after the slaying of Baramos.

The Queen is tended to by an entourage of priests, with the leader of the group being totally devoted to her and despairing as she approaches the end of her life. He is consoled by his three subordinates, with one priest pointing out that the dragon most holy has watched over the realm through a continuous cycle of rebirth while another states that the Queen's offspring will guide her followers just as she did. These two statements imply that the soul of the Queen is possibly reincarnated through her bloodline and will reemerge into the material world as the child of her own descendant at some point in the future, where as the older versions of the game have no mention of such a rebirth cycle.

The Queen's dialogue has been greatly expanded in this remake, addressing the Hero as the child of [[Ortega]]. She names Zoma directly now and gives the world's savior clear instructions on how to enter the [[Alefgard|Underworld]]. Her life force begins to fade as she speaks, but the Queen continues on and warns the Hero to not underestimate Zoma's strength while bequeathing the Sphere of Light. Having fulfilled her duty, the Queen lays her egg and calmly passes away. The head priest is devastated at her passing and blames his inability to ease her burden; he says the strain of watching over two worlds torn asunder is what brought the Queen to her limits and that if the world were as it ought to be then her life would not have not have extinguished. What the priest means by this is not elaborated within the game, though his monologue during the ending alludes to the [[Hargon|profound influence he will have on the future]].

When [[Rubiss]] is friend from Her petrification in [[Tower of Rubiss|Her tower in the Underworld]] She will note that the hero possesses the Sphere of of Light, musing that She and the realm She created are in the Dragon Queen's debt. How the two know of one another and what this connection implies along with the Dragon Queen's priest sating that she watched over two worlds is left to the player's imagination.

==={{DQStars}}===
The Queen serves the same role she did in the original game, but her appearance has been radically altered to that of a [[human]] woman wearing an ornate headdress and gown. A set of equipment based on her new likeness is available to the player as well, along with several weapons bearing her name.

===''[[Dragon Quest Live Spectacle Tour]]''===
The Queen is played by actress Yoko Takahashi, and by necessity is once again depicted as a [[human]] woman.

==Theories==
Since the release of {{Dragon Quest III}} in 1988, there has been much speculation to the nature of the Queen and her place in the [[Erdrick trilogy]].

===Relation to the Dragonlord===
The act of the Queen laying her egg before her passing has stuck out to many players as possible foreshadowing to the events of the first game, with many concluding that the egg contains the [[Dragonlord]]. This speculation is based on the following points:
*ROM capacity for the original {{NES}} version meant that every last bit of data had to be used efficiently, with literally no room left to spare for unnecessary events. The staff of [[Chunsoft]] would have been fully aware of this during the game's development, as would [[Yuji Horii]], and therefor it can be presumed within reason that the scene is meant to allude to something greater than just a mother continuing her family line before her passing.
:*The [[Emblem of Roto]] manga fully embraces the notion that the Queen is indeed the [[Dragonlord]]'s mother, stating that the child would succumb to darkness without the guidance of his mother during his formative years.
:*The [[Enix]]-published gamebook based on {{Dragon Quest II}} was released after the development of {{III}} and corroborates the connection by having the [[Dragonlord's great-great-grandson]] openly mention the Queen, regarding her fondly as "Hihibaa-san" (ひいひいばあさん).

===Relation to Yggdragon===
During the ending of {{Dragon Quest XI}}, the {{Hero 11}} speaks to [[Yggdragon]] in a lengthy cutscene. During the conversation, the dragon explains the balance of light and darkness and alludes to the possibility of even herself succumbing to evil--this dialogue, along with the ambiguous connections between the game and the [[Erdrick trilogy]], has lead to several plays believing that Yggdragon is the ancestor of the Queen of Dragons.
*This belief is further supported in the Japanese script of {{III}}, which states that the Queen is the daughter of an unnamed dragon god. This line is present in the original {{NES}} version and was not altered for the {{SFC}} remake, though some fans took it as implying that the Queen is related to [[Xenlon]].
*The connection is further alluded to in the HD remake of ''III'', where the Queen and Yggdragon bare a resemblance to one another as well as share the same voice actress in Japanese. The additional dialogue alluding to the Dragon Queen having a rebirth cycle has led to some fans concluding that she is the reincarnation of Yggdragon.

James Goode (Dragon Quest I HD-2D Remake) (English)

The '''Dragonlord''' is the main antagonist and final boss of the original {{Dragon Quest}}. Before the game starts, he steals the [[Sphere of Light]] from [[Tantegel]] Castle to unleash his forces of darkness upon [[Alefgard]]; he then kidnaps [[Princess Gwaelin]] to hold her hostage and prevent her father from challenging his new tyranny.

At the end of {{Dragon Quest}}, the {{Hero 1}} defeated the Dragonlord and restored peace to [[Alefgard]].

==Characteristics==
The Dragonlord resides in [[Dragonlord's Castle]] (Formerly referred to in past localizations as [[Dragonlord's Castle|Charlock Castle]]), which is located to the southeast across the water from [[Tantegel]] Castle. Within the castle, the Dragonlord resides on the bottom-most level. Throughout the game, the Dragonlord never leaves the castle, similar to [[Hargon]] in {{Dragon Quest II}}.

While around the size of the hero in older versions of the game, the Dragonlord towers over both his subjects and the humans of Tantegel in the HD-2D Remake, even in his untransformed form.

===Personality===
Being the first villain of the series, the Dragonlord displays several traits that would define the archetypal arch-fiend; he is a vain, power-hungry despot who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, whether it be imprisoning a maiden deep beneath the earth or wiping [[Damdara]] off the map just to make a point.

Though brutal and mindlessly savage at first glance, these actions are actually well planned tactics meant to secure the scaley lord's political power in [[Alefgard]]. As mentioned above, the kidnapping of the [[Princess Gwaelin|princess]] is meant to keep the king and citizens from so much as daring to think about standing up to him, and the obliteration of the kingdom's highest [[Damdara|commerce center]] meant that trade with [[Torland|outer lands]] would be crippled. Indeed, the very fact that the Dragonlord's first move in his plan was to steal the [[Sphere of Light]] shows that the would-be despot plans his actions very carefully.

When confronted by the {{Hero 1}}, the Dragonlord offers him the chance to split the world and rule half of it as his ally. This was an unprecedented move for a video game villain in 1986, when most antagonists had either no personality to speak of or theirs was confined to the pages of a manual. By offering to make a deal when cornered by the {{Hero 1}}, the Dragonlord proves that his aspirations are truly political in nature, and not blindly dedicated to chaos for chaos' sake. Indeed, {{Builders}} expands on this, indicating that he's more of a radical activist for {{MFamilies}}s and treats them very well, being seen as a king of kings by them. Additionally he has no desire to exterminate [[human]]ity, but rather wishes for monsters to rule over them the way (in his view) [[human]]s have ruled over {{MFamilies}}s.

In battle, the Dragonlord appears as a humanoid sorcerer who possesses the skill of [[Magic and Abilities|magic]] but is fairly weak, physically speaking. After receiving enough damage, the Dragonlord [[Puff!|transforms]] into a more powerful, dragon form (his "true" form). The music also changes to the final battle theme.

===Select quotes===
*''"So, thou art come before me at last, {{Hero 1}}! And bearing tribute unto my glory in the form of [[Princess Gwaelin|a fair princess]] no less! Hm hm hm! I am honoured in deed!"''
*''"I am the Dragonlord, master of masters, king of kings! Long have I awaited this moment. Come! Take thy rightful place at my side! Do so, and I will grant unto thee dominion over half the world!"''
*''"What say'st thou? Wilt thou rule beside me?"''
*''"Thou art a fool!"''
*''" Very well. Then half of the world shall be thine. And if ever thou should fall in battle, I shall revive thee at no cost! Now, fall into a deep, dark sleep! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"''

===Descendants===
In {{Dragon Quest II}}, a more friendly [[Dragonlord's grandson|descendant of the Dragonlord]] resides in the ruins of his [[Dragonlord's Castle|Castle]]. The child is very proud of his grandfather's attempt at world domination, and is very annoyed at [[Hargon]]'s own attempts, seeing the effort as an upstaging of his family's legacy. He aid's the {{Party 2}} by giving vital information regarding the [[5 Sigils]].

==Appearances==
==={{DQ}}===
The Dragonlord is the villain and final boss of the original game.

When encountered at [[Dragonlord's Castle|his castle]], the Dragonlord offers the {{Hero 1}} an opportunity to rule half of [[Alefgard]] with him. The {{Hero 1}} refuses and eventually defeats the Dragonlord in battle, retrieving the [[Sphere of Light]]

The {{Hero 1}} can accept the Dragonlord's offer to rule half the world; what happens after that differs between versions. In the {{Famicom}}/{{NES}} release, the Dragonlord mocks the {{Hero 1}} while the menus turn red, the screen fades to black, and the game freezes, implying the {{Hero 1}} has died. In the Japanese {{Famicom}} version, the Dragonlord also provides a special [[Spell of Restoration]] that starts the player off at level 1 with no equipment. In the remakes, accepting the Dragonlord's offer merely causes the {{Hero 1}} to faint and reappear outside [[Tantegel]] Castle.

The [[Dragonlord's great-great-grandson|grandson of the Dragonlord]] resides in the same location in {{Dragon Quest II}}. He is a character of core importance as he informs the [[Luminaries|heroes]] of their need to collect the [[5 Sigils|Crests]] and contact [[Rubiss]].

==={{DQ3}}===
Although not specifically mentioned, the Dragonlord inherits [[Zoma's Citadel]] sometime after [[Zoma]] was defeated by the {{Hero 3}} at the end of {{Dragon Quest III}}. Also, according to the ''[[The Emblem of Roto|Emblem of Roto]]'' manga, the [[Dragon Queen]]'s egg is most likely Dragonlord. However, the official guidebook states that the Dragonlord was a [[human]] who discovered he could control {{Dragon}}s, which led to some controversy. In the [[Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake|HD-2D remake]], it is confirmed that the Dragonlord is the Dragon Queen's child and egg, while [[Hargon|the High Priest]] of [[Castle of the Dragon Queen|her castle]] raises him.

The Dragonlord appears as a {{Legacy Boss}} in this game. His map can only be obtained as a rare drop from [[Greygnarl]] in {{Grotto}}es. Unlike most other Legacy Bosses, he does not use magic, relying on breath attacks and physical attacks, and becomes [[enraged]] by anyone that inflicts a [[Critical Hit]] or whose spell goes haywire on him. Note that the Dragonlord is classified under the [[??? family]], which means [[Dragon Slash]] and related effects do not apply to him.

====Strategy====
You should have one or two healers and two main damage dealers. A character with 100 skill points in Fource
and another with the [[Skill_Manuals#Minstrel's_Manual|'Minstrel's Manual']] is important. [[Double Up]] is also viable. At the start of the battle, apply [[Gale Fource]] and support spells such as [[Oomph]] and [[Kabuff]]. Have your main healer cast [[Multiheal]] after every breath attack and a [[Sage]] with [[Kazing]] is to revive any {{Party 9}} member who gets hit with a critical attack. Your main damage dealer should use a multi-hit attack such as [[Multifists]] or [[Falcon Slash]] with a [[Falcon blade]]. If the boss casts [[Disruptive Wave]], apply your buffs again and keep hitting him until he goes down.

The Dragonlord (DracoLord at the time) acts as the boss of the Gate of Ambition and will attempt to draw [[Terry]] over to his side in the same way he attempts to bargain with the {{Hero 1}} in the original {{Dragon Quest}}. but even if you replied yes, he would laugh and still challenge you.

==={{DQB}}===
The nature of ''[[Dragon Quest Builders|Builders]]'' is a what-if story in which the {{Hero 1}} fell for the Dragonlord's ruse and took his offer for half the world. Warping the {{Hero 1}}'s mind into that of a bumbling barbarian, none stood in the Dragonlord's way as he cast the entire archipelago of [[Alefgard]] into darkness. Furthermore, the scaled sovereign placed a curse upon the population that blocked all memory of building from their minds--while a person may recognize the individual materials used to construct something, the moment they move to craft the curse activates and seals the person's memory of ''how'' the materials are used, effectively sending the population to the stone age and forcing them into an arduous existence living off the bare expanse of the despoiled land.

From his perverse perspective, the Dragonlord considered this to be an act of mercy--he states that through building [[human]]s rebel against their fates and in turn only bring upon more miserable ones to their lives. He explains that he had no choice but to muddle minds, for if he did not the world would be thrown out of balance and fall into ruin. As the Builder is the last remaining vestige of the spark of creativity, they must be snuffed out under his heel.

The Dragonlord is unimpressed with the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders)|Builder]], stating they are nothing more than but a mere puppet of [[Rubiss]]. Privy to the Goddess' forsaking of the Builder near the end of Chapter four, he attempts to use this schism and uncertainty to cloud the child's mind when he is bested in his humanoid form. Offering half the world, the Dragonlord states that the Builder's role in [[Rubiss]]'s scheme has ended and they should now allow themselves to be a slave to one that has already abandoned them. Whispering with a forked-tongue, he sweetens the deal by ''promising'' the land the Builder will inherit will not be one of ashen darkness that [[Alefgard]] has become, but one of light where they may build their own kingdom as they see fit. If the Builder refuses the offer, the Dragonlord points out that if they fail to defeat him then all the towns, villages, and friends they have made will be rent asunder.

==={{DQB2}}===
The Dragonlord is mentioned in passing by a [[Skeleton|crew member]] of Captain Whitebone’s ship, but otherwise he does not make any appearance. However, the player can unlock his throne if they have a save of ''[[Dragon Quest Builders]]'' on the same system, allowing them to temporary take his appearance whenever they sit on the throne.

==={{DQTreasures}}===
The Dragonlord is represented by [[List of treasures in Dragon Quest Treasures|statues]] of both his forms, with base values of 4,440,000 and 5,550,000 respectively.

The Dragonlord made his debut in the first card pack as a legendary rare card. Upon his death, he reveals his true form. Although he was restricted in normal use, he eventually appeared in the seventh card pack, "Strange Tale of Light and Darkness" under the title "Dragonlord, Incarnation of Evil". As a reference to his original appearance, the Dragonlord will offer the opponent half of the world. If the opponent agrees, the screen goes dark and they are defeated on the spot. If they refuse, he will inflict 4 damage to a random unit or the enemy leader.
*When the game's name was changed to {{Rivals Ace}}, the Dragonlord appeared as the boss of the Dragonlord's Castle in the Solo Battle Adventure Mode and eventually became an alternate leader character for the Demon Swordsman vocation.

The Dragonlord and his True Form appear as S-rank members of the [[??? family]] during the original ''Dragon Quest I'' event, both appearing on their own banners. [[Cosmic chimaera]] appears on the Dragonlord's banner, while [[Dark skeleton]] appears on his True Form's banner. Both can be faced as bosses in the story quests, with the Dragonlord being faced in Chapter 4, Episode 5, while his True Form is faced in Chapter 4, Episode 6. His humanoid form can also participate in the event Battle Road, as well as the [[Slime|Blossom Slime]]'s Battle Road as a party member.

The Dragonlord's True Form, along with the other Demon Lords, could be challenged as part of the Fiendish Onslaught, as well. Either of the Dragonlord's forms could also be scouted by the player by redeeming their Dark Lord/Hero Meeting Ticket S.

===''[[Itadaki Street Special]]''===
The Dragonlord, in his [[human]] form, is a playable character in ''[[Itadaki Street Special]]''.

==={{SSB5}}===
While the Dragonlord himself doesn't appear in the game, he is referenced in the {{Hero Smash}}'s Classic Mode path on the seventh and final stage. He is initially represented by Robin (from ''Fire Emblem: Awakening'') in his blue outfit fought on Dracula's Castle (from ''Castlevania'') in its Ω form. After Robin is defeated, a giant purple Charizard (from ''[[Pokémon]]'') takes his place for the remainder of the fight. This two phase battle references the Dragonlord's two forms as a sorcerer and a {{Dragon}} in the original {{Dragon Quest}}.

==In animation==
The Dragonlord appeared as an antagonist to The N Team in {{Captain N}}, and worked with Mother Brain in his first appearance. In the show, he is a giant red dragon and lacks a [[human]] form.

Dragonlord appears in three episodes:
*Episode 7: "Three Men & A Dragon"
*Episode 23: "Trojan Dragon"
*Episode 24: "I Wish I Was a Wombatman" (Robotic replica)

The Dragonlord is the only character from a {{Main Series}} game to appear in both episodes, with a [[Blue dragon]] appearing in Episode 7, and [[Slime]]s, as well [[Knight aberrant|Axe knight]] appearing in Episode 23.

==Trivia==
*The Dragonlord bears a striking resemblance to Maleficent from Disney's ''Sleeping Beauty'', with both wielding staves, donning flowing, high-collared robes, having abnormally colored skin, yellow eyes, and possessing the ability to transform into large dragons that have purple coloration. Additionally, while it is unclear whether the Dragonlord has horns, a headpiece of some kind, or simply unusually-shaped hair, it is nevertheless similar in appearance to Maleficent's horned headpiece.
*The ''Dragon Quest 25th Anniversary Adventure History Book'' confirms that the Dragonlord is a descendant of the Dragon Queen, though it is unknown if he is her son or a descendant further down the family line.
*The Dragonlord will have special text if you free [[Princess Gwaelin]] from the [[green dragon]] and battle Dragonlord immediately afterwards, without dropping the beloved princess off at [[Tantegel]].

|}}
'''Rubiss''' is a creator Goddess who appears as the principal deity in several {{Main Series}} games. She is a recurring and important character in the [[Erdrick Trilogy]] and is the principal Goddess of [[Alefgard]]. Her power is delegated through certain individuals, namely [[Princess Gwaelin]] and her high priestess, [[Dream-Whisperer]].

==Appearances==
==={{DQ}}===
Rubiss isn't mentioned in the original {{Famicom}}/{{NES}} versions of the game. However, as of the {{SFC}} remake, and carried into future re-releases, Rubiss has been the subject of two brief prayers of adulation in the aftermath of the {{Hero 1}}'s victory over the [[Dragonlord]]. Specifically, the Sage in the [[Sanctum]] who bestows the {{Hero 1}} with the [[Rainbow Drop]], as well as the Sage in [[Cantlin]] who tells the {{Hero 1}} about the location of the [[Mark of Erdrick]] mention Rubiss. The two sages have the exact same dialogue, as many of the citizens of Alefgard share dialogue with other characters of the same {{NPC}} class at this point in the end-game.

===''[[Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake|Dragon Quest I HD-2D Remake]]''===
Rubiss is a central figure to the plot. Sometime between the events of ''III'' and ''I'', she departs Alefgard for a new land. Upon the rise of the Dragonlord, she entrusts [[Princess Gwaelin]] with the [[Sphere of Light]] and instructs her to hide in the Shrine of Rain. Gwaelin is kidnapped by the Dragonlord, who seeks the Sphere for the purpose of fulfilling his birthright as the son of the Dragon Queen. Following this, in the Shrine of Rain, the {{Hero 1}} is asked by the Sage of Rain to summon Rubiss to prove his worth as the descendant of [[Erdrick]].

Rubiss frequently communicates with Gwaelin during the latter's imprisonment, revealing to her that the Dragon Queen's egg had been corrupted and must be cleansed of the darkness.

{{spoiler|start}} Using the [[Lyre of Ire]], the [[5 Sigils|five sigils]], and the [[Faerie Flute]], the Hero, along with Dream-Whisperer and Over-Seer, succeed in summoning Rubiss back to the world. Rubiss points the Hero to the Sanctum to receive the [[Rainbow Drop]].

During the ending of the game, Rubiss tells the Hero and Gwaelin that while darkness still prevails, she vows to aid [[Luminaries|his descendants]] in the future. She also thanks him for freeing the soul of the Dragonlord, and mentions that he [[Dragonlord's great-grandson|will eventually be reborn into the light someday, free from darkness]]. Afterwards, Rubiss returns to her slumber within Alefgard.{{spoiler|end}}

===''[[BS Dragon Quest]]''===
Rubiss aids the player under the guise of a common old woman, and at random intervals She will bless the Hero by fully restoring his {{HP}} after battle, voiding any {{MP}} costs for a brief period, and insuring that critical hits trigger much more often. In the finale of the final episode, She will be present in [[Tantegel]] castle in Her old woman disguise but reveal Herself when spoken to, thanking the player directly for saving [[Alefgard]]. Rubiss is voiced by [[Rika Matsumoto]] during these Soundlink segments of the game.

==={{DQ2}}===
The player can communicate with Rubiss by sailing to a small island shrine south of [[Midenhall]]. When presented with the five collected [[5 Sigils|sigils]], She will speak to the three cousins telepathically and give them [[Eye of Rubiss|a holy talisman]] to dispel wicked illusions.

Being Her first appearance in the series, Rubiss is introduced to players as a protector Goddess who operates through Her chosen ones, rather than directly intervening in world affairs. The fondness and loyalty to which She speaks of [[Erdrick]] elevates the character from but a mere ancient folk hero to a savior to whom the very gods are indebted. This relationship would be further expanded upon in {{III}}, especially the remade versions.

====Rubiss' speech====
''The five sacred Sigils begin to glow brightly!''
''A soothing, disembodied voice floats through the air...''

''"Who summons me..? Who calleth upon Rubiss, the spirit of the land...?''
''Hm...? Ah...You are of the bloodline of [[Erdrick]]...I sense his presence within you...''
''It is time, at long last, to fulfill the promise I made unto your dear ancestor so long ago...''
''I do hereby bestow upon you a gift that shall give to you the power of true sight when you need it most...''
''When illusions do assail you upon all sides, trust to that which I have given you this day...''
''Then shall your eyes discern truth from falsity...being from seeming...''
''Now go forth, scions of [[Erdrick]], with my blessing...Wheresoever you wander, know that I do watch over you always..."''

==={{DQ3}}===
Rubiss is held prisoner on the top floor of the [[Tower of Rubiss]], having been over-powered by [[Zoma]] and displaced as ruling deity of [[Alefgard]]. The heroes must use the [[Faerie Flute]] in front of the statue there in order to free her. Her rescue by the {{Hero 3}} in this time of need would not be soon forgotten.

The Goddess' is depicted with a sprite resembling those of the {{Faerie}}s, which would serve as the basis for Her illustration in ''[[Dragon Quest of the Stars]]'' decades later.

==={{DQ3HD}}===
Rubiss' role is the same as in past iterations of the title, though Her petrified form is now guarded by the [[Soul of Baramos]]. Her dialogue has been greatly expanded. Here She will notice the [[Sphere of Light]] in the Hero's possession and state that She and Her flock are in the [[Dragon Queen]]'s debt before elaborating on the bauble's significance in the fight against Zoma. Rubiss laments that Her powers have not yet returned to Her and that the task of slaying the fiend falls to the party, implying She is capable of facing Zoma directly and that the archfiend ambushed Her.

After telling the player that the [[Rainbow Drop]] is necessary to reach Zoma's citadel and bequeathing the [[Sacred Amulet]] to her saviors, Rubiss instills what remains of her divine power into the Sphere of Light so that it will pierce through Zoma's [[Shroud of Shadows]] and render him vulnerable.

Design-wise Rubiss retains the appearance she was given in ''Walk'', being a beautiful woman with red hair and large, angelic wings wearing a golden sash with matching torcs, tiara, and necklace.

==={{DQ6}}===
Rubiss is the true identity of the nameless mountain spirit the people of [[Weaver's Peak]] worship, and lives in an underwater shrine the {{Party 6}} can visit after they acquire [[Lorelei's harp]] and can traverse the [[Undersea]]. Her [[Rubiss' Palace|palace]] is relatively close to the [[Murdaw's Keep|Isle of Murdaw]].

In the beginning of the game, She possesses [[Tania]] to speak directly to the {{Hero 6}} that he must reunite with his companions after the failed assault on [[Murdaw's Keep]] in the game's opening sequence.

==={{DQ10}}===
Rubiss Herself doesn't appear in the game but due to a collaboration with {{DQStars}} players could obtain Her outfit from the mobile title. It was originally only available in the ''[[Dragon Quest of the Stars|Hoshidora]]'' event back in September 2019, however, due to fan demand the outfit was added to the Present Ticket campaign, a dedicated reward system where players can exchange a special currency that is obtained on a monthly basis.

==={{DQMSL}}===
Rubiss was added to the game as a recruitable monster on January 31, 2023 as a member of the [[??? family]].

==={{DQB}}===
Rubiss is a major character in the game, being the guiding voice that directs the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders)|Builder]] in each chapter. Presented in a more humorous light than in past games, the Goddess is frequently taken aback by the blunt and impatient craftsman's attitude. She warns the player that they are not a hero, and expressly forbids them from challenging the [[Dragonlord]]: their task is solely that of restoring the land and settlements of [[Alefgard]].

Prior to the game's opening, Her influence upon the world is weakened by the [[Dragonlord]] sheathing the sky in darkness as [[Zoma]] once did. Only the Builder can hear Her voice throughout the game, and Her words cannot reach them at all in the final chapter of the game until a pious [[Princess Gwaelin|princess]]' prayers counter the malefic mist. Once the castle of [[Tantegel]] and the [[Erdrick Equipment|legendary arms]] are restored, Rubiss praises the Builder and declares their work complete--She states that She and the revived [[Alefgard]] will wait for a new hero to appear to slay the [[Dragonlord]]. When Her divine judgement is questioned, She reaffirms that the builder is forbidden from carrying out an assault on [[Dragonlord's Castle]] and ceases communicating with the player.

During the battle with fiend, Rubiss will intervene and counter the maniac's magical seal by teleporting the friends the builder has made along their journey into the fray to deliver materials, food, and [[medicinal herb]]s before spiriting them away to safety. When the Builder proves victorious Rubiss admits She was mistaken, and thanks the little architect from the bottom of Her heart before musing that the [[human]] spirit is something beyond even Her reckoning.

==={{DQStars}}===
Rubiss appears the {{III}} scenario in the same role as She did in the original game, appearing as a glowing faerie wearing an ornate gown. She is grateful to the player for having rescued Her from imprisonment, but shows a sterner side when She electrocutes [[Cyril]] for wasting time.

Rubiss also appears as a main character in the permanent event ''Guided by Rubiss's Light'', in which She retells the story of the first three games while putting the party in the shoes of the heroes of said stories.

There is several gacha equipment based on Her: an armor and shield -which can be seen in the opening movie for the game-, a robe -which She wears in the cutscenes- and several weapons including sword, fan, dagger, rod, staff and bow. Most of Her equipment can be alchemized and/or awakened to further improve their skills and stats. Design-wise, most of Her gear seems inspired by the look of the [[Eye of Rubiss]].

Her Stars design has been featured in the collaborations the game had with {{DQ10}} and ''Monster Hunter Riders'', being obtainable in the former and Her robe and sword being worn by a special character in the later.

==={{DQWalk}}===
Rubiss appeared in the later parts of the {{Dragon Quest III}} event. She explains to the player Her role in creating [[Alefgard]] and how [[Zoma]] sealed Her away. After defeating [[Zoma]], She thanks the player.

Unlike Her {{Stars}} appearance, Rubiss's Walk design is not whited out, so it's easier to see how She looks like: She has blue-ish eyes, long and straight pink hair, pointy ears and big angel-like wings. She wears a white and purple dress, with orange accents. She wears some golden and blue jewelry, and carries a turqoise sphere. This design is inspired by Her sprite in {{Dragon Quest III}} for the {{Super Famicom}}, and has been utilized as Her official design for all subsequent appearances since its debut.

===''Dragon Quest Seirei Rubis Densetsu''===
Author Saori Kumi (久美沙織) wrote a three-volume series of novels revolving around the Goddess Rubiss before the creation of [[Alefgard]] in 1992 called ''Dragon Quest - Seirei Rubis Densetsu'' (精霊ルビス伝説). Cover art for all three novels were painted by Mutsumi Inomata, and these illustrations were the only official depictions of Rubiss beyond Her in-game sprites and a single guidebook image until the release of {{DQStars}}.

The novels detail Her past before Her apotheosis, when She lived in the spirit realm of Ideen as the heir of the Karikutisu family. The Karikutisu clan is one of the five great houses that rules over Ideen and has power over the element of fire; this station is reflected in the family's signature red hair and red eyes. Rubiss is shown to be lovers with a spirit named Diaruto Kentoropige (ディアルト・ケントロピーゲ), a member of the house of Koridoras which governs the element of earth. The name Diaruto Kentoropige is an alias the spirit must use in place of his real name; due to his mother being a human from the surface world he is denied any inheritance from the Koridoras family and is forbidden from using the surname of Koridoras as well as his given human name, which the family deems unclean.

Various circumstances stand in the way of the lovers' happiness and the two elope, an act that coincides with additional conflicts that leads to the collapse of Ideen and the spread of evil throughout Alefgard. By the end of the series Rubiss assumes Her role as an earth Goddess and Diaruto abandons his connection to the Koridoras family by embracing the human name his mother gave him—Erdrick (ロト). Erdrick's half-human nature leads to him passing away from age, but the lovers remain bound by fate as Erdrick continuously reincarnates and finds his way to Rubiss as the two battle against the evils they are partially responsible for unleashing.

===''Emblem of Roto: To the Children Who Inherit the Emblem''===
Rubiss appears in the sequel manga to Emblem of Roto.

==Trivia==
*Rubiss is given the full name of {{Translation|'''Rubiss Apisuto Karikutisu'''|ルビス・アピスト・カリクティス}} in the ''Dragon Quest: Seirei Rubis Densetsu'' manga.
*With the exception of the design used for ''Dragon Quest of the Stars'', Rubiss has consistently been depicted with red hair since the 1996 remake of ''Dragon Quest III''. This might be a homage to Saori Kumi's novels which compare Rubiss' hair to a blazing fire.

The '''Dragonlord's great-grandson''' is a non-player character that first appeared in {{Dragon Quest II}}.

==Appearance and Personality==
The descendant of the [[Dragonlord]] looks identical to his ancestor in most appearances, save for a slight change in his skin tone in {{Tact}}. He wears the same robes and carries a copy of the cane his forebearer used.
Contrary to all expectations, the descendant of the Archfiend is a rather friendly guy who has no interest in conquering the world--though he does have a habit of indulging in his ancestor's reputation as a matter of family pride.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ2}}===
The Dragonlord's great-grandson resides in [[Dragonlord's Castle|Charlock Castle]] and stands in the same location where his [[Dragonlord|great-great-grandfather]] stood in {{DQ}}. However, rather than fighting the [[Luminaries|trio]], he instead offers critical advice about defeating [[Hargon]]--he takes personal offense to the mad cultist's ambition of worldly conquest as it infringes on his family's claim to fame. In particular, he describes that the [[5 Sigils]] must be gathered from around the world of [[Torland]], starting with the one in the island [[Lighthouse (Dragon Quest II)|Lighthouse]] south of where [[Cantlin]] once stood.

{{spoiler|start}}
After Hargon and [[Malroth]]'s defeat, the [[Dragonlord]]'s great-grandson suggest that he and the [[Luminaries|trio]] be friends. He also muses in giving the {{Hero 2}} and himself nicknames, calling the {{Hero 2}} "My Dearest Dragon Warrior" and declaring himself as "Your Dashing Dragonliness."
{{spoiler|end}}

===''Dragon Quest II gamebook''===
The [[Dragonlord]]'s descendant has a much larger role in the choose-your-own-adventure book published by [[Enix]] in 1988. He aids the three [[Luminaries]] by transforming into his natural {{Dragon}} form and flying them to the [[Lighthouse (Dragon Quest II)|Great Lighthouse]] in the center of the northwestern sea. He reverts to the humanoid form but refrains from participating in battle as he admits he is a bit of a wuss, though he does cast [[Midheal]] on the group after combat is over. During the ending, the [[Dragonlord]]'s great-great-grandson flies the party directly to [[Midenhall|Middenhall]] and partakes in the victory celebration.

Interestingly, if the reader makes poor choices and loses the battle in the great lighthouse then the [[Dragonlord]]'s descendant will sacrifice the magic maintaining his humanoid form to hide the [[Luminaries]] via a sort of [[Morph]] spell. He is unable to take on the form again afterwards, and to avoid continuity errors he exclusively appears in his dragon state during the confrontation with [[Malroth]] and the finale.

This gamebook addresses the fan theory of the [[Dragon Queen|Queen of Dragons]] being the mother of the [[Dragonlord]] by having the great-great-grandson mention the Queen in passing and referring to her as "Hihibaa-san" (ひいひいばあさん).

==={{DQTact}}===
The [[Dragonlord]]'s great-grandson makes an appearances in the {{Dragon Quest II}} event for {{Tact}}. Unlike to his past representations, his physical portrayal actually differs slightly from how [[Dragonlord]] is portrayed, the Dragonlord's great-grandson being more purple in skin tone and sporting a warm purple robe and differently designed amulet.

==Trivia==
*While his exact familial relationship to the [[Dragonlord]] has changed several times in English releases, he has consistently been labeled as [[Dragonlord]]'s great-grandchild in Japanese. He is also called the great-grandson in the English script of the HD-2D Remake.
*In the Japanese versions of {{Dragon Quest II}}, the nickname he gives the {{Hero 2}} is based on the first two to four characters of his name followed by the honorific "chan", while the name he gives himself is "Ryu-chan."

==={{DQTact}}===
The [[Dragonlord]]'s great-great-grandson makes an appearances in the {{Dragon Quest II}} event for {{Tact}}. Unlike to his past representations, his physical portrayal actually differs slightly from how [[Dragonlord]] is portrayed, the Dragonlord's great-great-grandson being more purple in skin tone and sporting a warm purple robe and differently designed amulet.

==Trivia==
*While his exact familial relationship to the [[Dragonlord]] has changed several times in English releases, he has consistently been labeled as [[Dragonlord]]'s great-grandchild in Japanese. He is also called the great-grandson in the English script of the HD-2D Remake.
*In the Japanese versions of {{Dragon Quest II}}, the nickname he gives the {{Hero 2}} is based on the first two to four characters of his name followed by the honorific "chan", while the name he gives himself is "Ryu-chan."

'''Rubiss''' is a creator Goddess who appears as the principal deity in several {{Main Series}} games. She is a recurring and important character in the [[Erdrick Trilogy]] and is the principal Goddess of [[Alefgard]]. Her power is delegated through certain individuals, namely [[Princess Gwaelin]] and her high priestess, [[Dream-Whisperer]].

==Appearances==
==={{DQ}}===
Rubiss isn't mentioned in the original {{Famicom}}/{{NES}} versions of the game. However, as of the {{SFC}} remake, and carried into future re-releases, Rubiss has been the subject of two brief prayers of adulation in the aftermath of the {{Hero 1}}'s victory over the [[Dragonlord]]. Specifically, the Sage in the [[Sanctum]] who bestows the {{Hero 1}} with the [[Rainbow Drop]], as well as the Sage in [[Cantlin]] who tells the {{Hero 1}} about the location of the [[Mark of Erdrick]] mention Rubiss. The two sages have the exact same dialogue, as many of the citizens of Alefgard share dialogue with other characters of the same {{NPC}} class at this point in the end-game.

===''[[Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake|Dragon Quest I HD-2D Remake]]''===
Rubiss is a central figure to the plot. Sometime between the events of ''III'' and ''I'', she departs Alefgard for a new land. Upon the rise of the Dragonlord, she entrusts [[Princess Gwaelin]] with the [[Sphere of Light]] and instructs her to hide in the Shrine of Rain. Gwaelin is kidnapped by the Dragonlord, who seeks the Sphere for the purpose of fulfilling his birthright as the son of the Dragon Queen. Following this, in the Shrine of Rain, the {{Hero 1}} is asked by the Sage of Rain to summon Rubiss to prove his worth as the descendant of [[Erdrick]].

Rubiss frequently communicates with Gwaelin during the latter's imprisonment, revealing to her that the Dragon Queen's egg had been corrupted and must be cleansed of the darkness.

{{spoiler|start}} Using the [[Lyre of Ire]], the [[5 Sigils|five sigils]], and the [[Faerie Flute]], the Hero, along with Dream-Whisperer and Over-Seer, succeed in summoning Rubiss back to the world. Rubiss points the Hero to the Sanctum to receive the [[Rainbow Drop]].

During the ending of the game, Rubiss tells the Hero and Gwaelin that while darkness still prevails, she vows to aid [[Luminaries|his descendants]] in the future. She also thanks him for freeing the soul of the Dragonlord, and mentions that he [[Dragonlord's great-great-grandson|will eventually be reborn into the light someday, free from darkness]]. Afterwards, Rubiss returns to her slumber within Alefgard.{{spoiler|end}}

===''[[BS Dragon Quest]]''===
Rubiss aids the player under the guise of a common old woman, and at random intervals She will bless the Hero by fully restoring his {{HP}} after battle, voiding any {{MP}} costs for a brief period, and insuring that critical hits trigger much more often. In the finale of the final episode, She will be present in [[Tantegel]] castle in Her old woman disguise but reveal Herself when spoken to, thanking the player directly for saving [[Alefgard]]. Rubiss is voiced by [[Rika Matsumoto]] during these Soundlink segments of the game.

==={{DQ2}}===
The player can communicate with Rubiss by sailing to a small island shrine south of [[Midenhall]]. When presented with the five collected [[5 Sigils|sigils]], She will speak to the three cousins telepathically and give them [[Eye of Rubiss|a holy talisman]] to dispel wicked illusions.

Being Her first appearance in the series, Rubiss is introduced to players as a protector Goddess who operates through Her chosen ones, rather than directly intervening in world affairs. The fondness and loyalty to which She speaks of [[Erdrick]] elevates the character from but a mere ancient folk hero to a savior to whom the very gods are indebted. This relationship would be further expanded upon in {{III}}, especially the remade versions.

====Rubiss' speech====
''The five sacred Sigils begin to glow brightly!''
''A soothing, disembodied voice floats through the air...''

''"Who summons me..? Who calleth upon Rubiss, the spirit of the land...?''
''Hm...? Ah...You are of the bloodline of [[Erdrick]]...I sense his presence within you...''
''It is time, at long last, to fulfill the promise I made unto your dear ancestor so long ago...''
''I do hereby bestow upon you a gift that shall give to you the power of true sight when you need it most...''
''When illusions do assail you upon all sides, trust to that which I have given you this day...''
''Then shall your eyes discern truth from falsity...being from seeming...''
''Now go forth, scions of [[Erdrick]], with my blessing...Wheresoever you wander, know that I do watch over you always..."''

==={{DQ3}}===
Rubiss is held prisoner on the top floor of the [[Tower of Rubiss]], having been over-powered by [[Zoma]] and displaced as ruling deity of [[Alefgard]]. The heroes must use the [[Faerie Flute]] in front of the statue there in order to free her. Her rescue by the {{Hero 3}} in this time of need would not be soon forgotten.

The Goddess' is depicted with a sprite resembling those of the {{Faerie}}s, which would serve as the basis for Her illustration in ''[[Dragon Quest of the Stars]]'' decades later.

==={{DQ3HD}}===
Rubiss' role is the same as in past iterations of the title, though Her petrified form is now guarded by the [[Soul of Baramos]]. Her dialogue has been greatly expanded. Here She will notice the [[Sphere of Light]] in the Hero's possession and state that She and Her flock are in the [[Dragon Queen]]'s debt before elaborating on the bauble's significance in the fight against Zoma. Rubiss laments that Her powers have not yet returned to Her and that the task of slaying the fiend falls to the party, implying She is capable of facing Zoma directly and that the archfiend ambushed Her.

After telling the player that the [[Rainbow Drop]] is necessary to reach Zoma's citadel and bequeathing the [[Sacred Amulet]] to her saviors, Rubiss instills what remains of her divine power into the Sphere of Light so that it will pierce through Zoma's [[Shroud of Shadows]] and render him vulnerable.

Design-wise Rubiss retains the appearance she was given in ''Walk'', being a beautiful woman with red hair and large, angelic wings wearing a golden sash with matching torcs, tiara, and necklace.

==={{DQ6}}===
Rubiss is the true identity of the nameless mountain spirit the people of [[Weaver's Peak]] worship, and lives in an underwater shrine the {{Party 6}} can visit after they acquire [[Lorelei's harp]] and can traverse the [[Undersea]]. Her [[Rubiss' Palace|palace]] is relatively close to the [[Murdaw's Keep|Isle of Murdaw]].

In the beginning of the game, She possesses [[Tania]] to speak directly to the {{Hero 6}} that he must reunite with his companions after the failed assault on [[Murdaw's Keep]] in the game's opening sequence.

==={{DQ10}}===
Rubiss Herself doesn't appear in the game but due to a collaboration with {{DQStars}} players could obtain Her outfit from the mobile title. It was originally only available in the ''[[Dragon Quest of the Stars|Hoshidora]]'' event back in September 2019, however, due to fan demand the outfit was added to the Present Ticket campaign, a dedicated reward system where players can exchange a special currency that is obtained on a monthly basis.

==={{DQMSL}}===
Rubiss was added to the game as a recruitable monster on January 31, 2023 as a member of the [[??? family]].

==={{DQB}}===
Rubiss is a major character in the game, being the guiding voice that directs the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders)|Builder]] in each chapter. Presented in a more humorous light than in past games, the Goddess is frequently taken aback by the blunt and impatient craftsman's attitude. She warns the player that they are not a hero, and expressly forbids them from challenging the [[Dragonlord]]: their task is solely that of restoring the land and settlements of [[Alefgard]].

Prior to the game's opening, Her influence upon the world is weakened by the [[Dragonlord]] sheathing the sky in darkness as [[Zoma]] once did. Only the Builder can hear Her voice throughout the game, and Her words cannot reach them at all in the final chapter of the game until a pious [[Princess Gwaelin|princess]]' prayers counter the malefic mist. Once the castle of [[Tantegel]] and the [[Erdrick Equipment|legendary arms]] are restored, Rubiss praises the Builder and declares their work complete--She states that She and the revived [[Alefgard]] will wait for a new hero to appear to slay the [[Dragonlord]]. When Her divine judgement is questioned, She reaffirms that the builder is forbidden from carrying out an assault on [[Dragonlord's Castle]] and ceases communicating with the player.

During the battle with fiend, Rubiss will intervene and counter the maniac's magical seal by teleporting the friends the builder has made along their journey into the fray to deliver materials, food, and [[medicinal herb]]s before spiriting them away to safety. When the Builder proves victorious Rubiss admits She was mistaken, and thanks the little architect from the bottom of Her heart before musing that the [[human]] spirit is something beyond even Her reckoning.

==={{DQStars}}===
Rubiss appears the {{III}} scenario in the same role as She did in the original game, appearing as a glowing faerie wearing an ornate gown. She is grateful to the player for having rescued Her from imprisonment, but shows a sterner side when She electrocutes [[Cyril]] for wasting time.

Rubiss also appears as a main character in the permanent event ''Guided by Rubiss's Light'', in which She retells the story of the first three games while putting the party in the shoes of the heroes of said stories.

There is several gacha equipment based on Her: an armor and shield -which can be seen in the opening movie for the game-, a robe -which She wears in the cutscenes- and several weapons including sword, fan, dagger, rod, staff and bow. Most of Her equipment can be alchemized and/or awakened to further improve their skills and stats. Design-wise, most of Her gear seems inspired by the look of the [[Eye of Rubiss]].

Her Stars design has been featured in the collaborations the game had with {{DQ10}} and ''Monster Hunter Riders'', being obtainable in the former and Her robe and sword being worn by a special character in the later.

==={{DQWalk}}===
Rubiss appeared in the later parts of the {{Dragon Quest III}} event. She explains to the player Her role in creating [[Alefgard]] and how [[Zoma]] sealed Her away. After defeating [[Zoma]], She thanks the player.

Unlike Her {{Stars}} appearance, Rubiss's Walk design is not whited out, so it's easier to see how She looks like: She has blue-ish eyes, long and straight pink hair, pointy ears and big angel-like wings. She wears a white and purple dress, with orange accents. She wears some golden and blue jewelry, and carries a turqoise sphere. This design is inspired by Her sprite in {{Dragon Quest III}} for the {{Super Famicom}}, and has been utilized as Her official design for all subsequent appearances since its debut.

===''Dragon Quest Seirei Rubis Densetsu''===
Author Saori Kumi (久美沙織) wrote a three-volume series of novels revolving around the Goddess Rubiss before the creation of [[Alefgard]] in 1992 called ''Dragon Quest - Seirei Rubis Densetsu'' (精霊ルビス伝説). Cover art for all three novels were painted by Mutsumi Inomata, and these illustrations were the only official depictions of Rubiss beyond Her in-game sprites and a single guidebook image until the release of {{DQStars}}.

The novels detail Her past before Her apotheosis, when She lived in the spirit realm of Ideen as the heir of the Karikutisu family. The Karikutisu clan is one of the five great houses that rules over Ideen and has power over the element of fire; this station is reflected in the family's signature red hair and red eyes. Rubiss is shown to be lovers with a spirit named Diaruto Kentoropige (ディアルト・ケントロピーゲ), a member of the house of Koridoras which governs the element of earth. The name Diaruto Kentoropige is an alias the spirit must use in place of his real name; due to his mother being a human from the surface world he is denied any inheritance from the Koridoras family and is forbidden from using the surname of Koridoras as well as his given human name, which the family deems unclean.

Various circumstances stand in the way of the lovers' happiness and the two elope, an act that coincides with additional conflicts that leads to the collapse of Ideen and the spread of evil throughout Alefgard. By the end of the series Rubiss assumes Her role as an earth Goddess and Diaruto abandons his connection to the Koridoras family by embracing the human name his mother gave him—Erdrick (ロト). Erdrick's half-human nature leads to him passing away from age, but the lovers remain bound by fate as Erdrick continuously reincarnates and finds his way to Rubiss as the two battle against the evils they are partially responsible for unleashing.

===''Emblem of Roto: To the Children Who Inherit the Emblem''===
Rubiss appears in the sequel manga to Emblem of Roto.

==Trivia==
*Rubiss is given the full name of {{Translation|'''Rubiss Apisuto Karikutisu'''|ルビス・アピスト・カリクティス}} in the ''Dragon Quest: Seirei Rubis Densetsu'' manga.
*With the exception of the design used for ''Dragon Quest of the Stars'', Rubiss has consistently been depicted with red hair since the 1996 remake of ''Dragon Quest III''. This might be a homage to Saori Kumi's novels which compare Rubiss' hair to a blazing fire.

Rubiss appears in the sequel manga to Emblem of Roto.

==Trivia==
*Rubiss is given the full name of {{Translation|'''Rubiss Apisuto Karikutisu'''|ルビス・アピスト・カリクティス}} in the ''Dragon Quest: Seirei Rubis Densetsu'' manga.
*With the exception of the design used for ''Dragon Quest of the Stars'', Rubiss has consistently been depicted with red hair since the 1996 remake of ''Dragon Quest III''. This might be a homage to Saori Kumi's novels which compare Rubiss' hair to a blazing fire.

'''Dragon [[Monster Families|Family]]''' (Japanese Katakana: ドラゴン Romanji:''Doragon'') refers to {{MFamilies}}s in {{DQSeries}} that take on forms of traditional Western and Eastern dragons, [[:Category:dinosaurs|dinosaurs]], [[:Category:snakes|snakes]], and [[:Category:turtles|turtles]]. Occasionally, dragon-shaped {{MFamilies}}s or pallet-swaps are classified as members of the {{Aquatic}} or {{Beast}} families. Additionally, this family is referred to as the Beast family in {{DQMCH}}.

The shapes and capabilities of dragons within the series are as varied as in real-world mythology, but these monsters typically have the ability to breathe fire and many possess skills that can {{Poison}} and cause {{Envenomation}} towards enemies.

==Effective weapons and skills==
Dragons are vulnerable to the [[Dragonsbane]], [[Dragon Slayer]], [[Dragon claws]] and [[Dragonlord claws]] weapons, and as of the ninth game will take an additional 10% damage from any sword. The [[Dragon Slash]] skill will deal 50% more damage to dragons.

==Usual Drop items==

*[[Orochi]], an antagonist from {{DQ3}} who terrorizes the country of [[Jipang]].
*[[King Hydra]], one of the chief agents of [[Zoma]] in {{DQ3}}.
*[[Xenlon]], the Eternal Dragon that grants the wishes of {{Party 3}} who can defeat her in {{DQ3}}.
*[[Zenith Dragon]], the ruler of [[Zenithia]] and a chief supporting character in the [[Zenithia trilogy]] of games.

*[[King Korol]], the founder of the [[Order of Zugzwang]] and chief chess-piece of [[Grandmaster Nimzo]] in {{DQ5}}.
*[[Lizzie]], a [[Hacksaurus]] defeated by [[Terry]] in {{DQ6}} who later can join the party!

'''Beast Family''' (Japanese Kanji: 獣 Hiragana:けもの Romanji:''Kemono'') refers to a [[Monster Families|classification]] of monsters in [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'' series]] that take the form of vicious mammals. Usually their names give a hint of the animal they are based on, but several are chimeric in design. In some games, the category also includes members of the [[Bird family|Bird]] and [[Aquatic family|Aquatic]] families. This family was referred to as the Animal family in {{DQMCH}}.

==Trivia==
* Interesting enough, despite being reptilian in nature, Drackals and their kin are not classified as [[Dragon family|dragons]].
* In some games, monsters such as the orc or night clubber have occasionally been classified as [[Demon family|demons]] rather than beasts.
*Despite the hat hamwitch being a species of Shamwitch, it is classified as a [[Material family]] monster rather then a beast family monster.

Undead family

2025-11-06T17:54:16Z

Madrat:

[[File:Undead_icon.gif|border|right]]
[[File:Bullmustiff and Vladdy.png|border|right|230px]]
The '''Undead family''' (Japanese Katakana: ゾンビ Romanji: ''Zonbi'') refers to certain types of {{MFamilies}}s in the {{DQSeries}}. A staple of role playing games the world over, the Undead family includes animated corpses, skeletons, angry spirits, and even fallen priests.

Starting with {{Dragon Quest III}}, the undead have been assigned extra damage tags that activate when the appropriate weapon strikes them.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ}}===
Being the first entry in the series, classification of monsters is rudimentary and based on physical appearance rather than statistical classification. As such, the Undead are not uniquely affected by any spells or items. 
*[[Ghost]]
*[[Fightgeist]]
*[[Spitegeist]]
*[[Skeleton]]
*[[Skeleton scrapper]]
*[[Skeleton soldier]]
*[[Dark skeleton]]

===[[Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake|Dragon Quest I HD-2D Remake]]===
Undead enemies take more damage from the skills [[Undead Undoer]] and [[Pearly Gates]].
*[[Chasmonaut]]
*[[Corpse corporal]]
*[[Dark skeleton]]
*[[Deadnaut]]
*[[Dragon zombie]]
*[[Fightgeist]]
*[[Ghost]]
*[[Ghoul]]
*[[Mean spirit]]
*[[One-man army]]
*[[Rottenweiler]]
*[[Skelegon]]
*[[Skeleton]]
*[[Skeleton scrapper]]
*[[Skeleton soldier]]
*[[Skeleton swordsman (recurring)|Skeleton swordsman]]
*[[Spirit]]
*[[Spitegeist]]

==={{DQ2}}===
Monster classification is still not a part of the game's coding, but this entry is notable for introducing players to the staple monsters Walking Corpse and Spirit, as well as their many pallet swaps. 
*[[Spirit]]
*[[Mean spirit|Sekerleton]]
*[[Walking corpse]]
*[[Corpse corporal]]
*[[Ghoul]]
*[[Mummy boy]]
*[[Mummy]]
*[[Deadnaut]]
*[[Chasmonaut]]
*[[Hargonaut]]

==={{DQ3}}===
The existence of the [[Zombiesbane (Weapon)|zombiesbane]] weapon would imply that there is a distinct coding tag in the game's programming for the undead ala the [[dragon family]], but this is not the case. Instead the zombiesbane deals 16~32 more damage to monsters that are weak to the [[Poof]] and [[Blasto]] spells, which so happens to apply to most zombies.
*[[Putrefido]]
*[[Rottenweiler]]
*[[Bullmustiff]]
*[[One-man army]]
*[[Armful]]
*[[Toxic zombie]]
*[[Vladdy]]
*[[Drac the Vlad]]
*[[Silhouette]]
*[[Vladiator]]
*[[Grievous bodily arm]]
*[[Skeleton swordsman (recurring)|Skeleton swordsman]]
*[[Dragon zombie]] (receives bonus damage from [[Dragonsbane (Weapon)|dragonsbane]] as well)
*[[Skelegon]] (receives bonus damage from [[Dragonsbane (Weapon)|dragonsbane]] as well)

==={{DQ3HD}}===
The undead take 130% damage from the [[divine dagger]] and the [[Zombiesbane (Weapon)|zombiesbane]] weapons, with the latter ditching its peculiar focus on [[Poof]]-resistance to consistently deal extra damage to the corpses.
*[[Bones of Baramos]]
*[[Bullmustiff]] (also {{Beast}})
*[[Dragon zombie]] (also {{Dragon}})
*[[Ghoul]]
*[[Grievous bodily arm]]
*[[Heedoo voodoo]]
*[[One-man army]]
*[[Rottenweiler]] (also {{Beast}})
*[[Troobloovoodo]]
*[[Mummy]]
*[[Mummy boy]]
*[[Putrefido]] (also {{Beast}})
*[[Skeleton swordsman (recurring)]]
*[[Skelegon]]] (also {{Dragon}})
*[[Toxic zombie]]
*[[Voodoogooder]]
*[[Walking corpse]]

==={{DQ4}}===
*[[Bone baron]]
*[[Grim rider]]
*[[Night rider]]
*[[Skeleton swordsman (Dragon Quest IV)|Skeleton swordsman]]
*[[Sekerleton]]

==={{DQ5}}===
*[[Bona constrictor]]
*[[Brrrattling snake]]
*[[Ghost]]
*[[Deadcurion]]
*[[Lesionnaire]]
*[[Stenchurion]]
*[[Dragon zombie]]
*[[Drakenstein]]
*[[Wight prince]]
*[[Wight king]]
*[[Corpse corporal]]
*[[Walking corpse]]

==={{DQ6}}===
The [[Pearly Gates]] deals 30% more damage to the Undead, and [[Undead Undoer]] will deal an extra 50%. The latter skill can also stack with the bonus damage of the [[Zombiesbane]].
*[[Dead resident]]
*[[Gustodian]]
*[[Undentured servant]]
*[[Gustbluster]]
*[[Marrow escapee]]
*[[Wraithwand]]
*[[Disgustling]]
*[[Hell gladiator]]
*[[Dreadstaff]]
*[[Zombie gladiator]]
*[[Marine spirit]]
*[[Demon-at-arms]]
*[[Water wraith]]
*[[Corpsickle]]
*[[Grim keeper]]
*[[Mortamor|Mortamor's head]]

==={{DQ7}}===
*[[Bloody hand]]
*[[Bone baron]]
*[[Carbuncle]]
*[[Cerberuff]]
*[[Cerberwretch]]
*[[Corpse corporal]]
*[[Deadcurion]]
*[[Decayurion]]
*[[Frightbait]]
*[[Fright knight]]
*[[Gobbler]]
*[[Grotwyrm]] (Also vulnerable to [[Dragon slash]])
*[[Major headache]]
*[[Mild headache]]
*[[Muddy hand]]
*[[Night knight]]
*[[Orgodemir]]
*[[Pustule]]
*[[Putric Stinkenheimer]]
*[[Rotwyrm]] (Also vulnerable to [[Dragon slash]])
*[[Skeleton squire]]
*[[Ulcer]]
*[[Walking corpse]]

==={{DQ8}}===
The Undead are considerably more durable to physical attacks in the eighth entry of the series, taking only 70% damage from even fully tensioned characters. This is thanks to an effect tag worked into the game's programming, and cannot be negated. The [[Zombiesbane]] deals only 30% more damage this time around. However, it can be improved through alchemy to become the [[Zombiesbane|Zombie Slayer]], which deals 60% more damage. The effects of [[Pearly Gates]] remain the same.
*[[Phantom fencer]]
*[[Mummy boy]]
*[[Mummy]]
*[[Blood mummy]]
*[[Phantom swordsman]]
*[[Skeleton]]
*[[Skeleton soldier]]
*[[Dark skeleton]]
*[[Walking corpse]]
*[[Toxic zombie]]
*[[Ghoul]]
*[[Corpse corporal]]
*[[Grim rider]]
*[[Bone baron]]
*[[Night rider]]
*[[Dullahan]]
*[[Dark dullahan]]
*[[Wight priest]]
*[[Wight king]]
*[[Invisible swordsman]]
*[[Hell's gatekeeper (recurring)|Hell's gatekeeper]]
*[[Tortured soul]]
*[[Hell gladiator]]
*[[Zombie gladiator]]

==={{DQ9}}===
[[File:DQIX King Godwyn.png|right|thumb|300px|The undead King Godwyn of ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'']]
Zombies will receive an additional 10% damage when struck by [[Staff Weapon Family|staves]]. Furthermore, they will take 20% more damage when attacked with the Holy Lance, Battle Fork, Celestial Spear, and Divine Dagger. The skill [[Deliverance]] effectively replaces Undead Undoer.
