The game was released on October 15, 2015 in Japan and globally on February 25th, 2020.<ref name="global-release">[https://square-enix-games.com/en_US/news/dragon-quest-stars DRAGON QUEST OF THE STARS now available on iOS and Android].

On September 30th, 2019, Square Enix announced that the game would be released internationally in 2020, with a closed beta for Android users that ran from October 30th to November 28th.

On March 30, 2021, Square Enix announced that the global game servers will be shut down on June 30, 2021. On August 25, 2025, Square Enix announced that the Japanese server will shut down by October 31, 2025.<ref>https://cache.sqex-bridge.jp/guest/information/96613/</ref><ref>https://twistedvoxel.com/square-enix-to-end-services-for-final-fantasy-brave-exvius-and-dragon-quest-of-the-stars-in-japan/</ref>

==Gameplay==
The game lets players explore planet Brulia and experience various classic Dragon Quest events.

In the Japanese version, players can explore other planets as well after finishing Chapter 7 of Season 1.

===Customization and Vocations===
Players can customize and develop their own character to fight against the star crisis that draws near. Character customization is similar to {{DQ9}}, in that armor is split between various categories: headwear, torso, legs, shield and accessories. Equipment and appearance aren't actually linked, players can use any piece of equipment they have as a cosmetic piece, with only one limitation: the weapon type has to be the same that is currently equipped.

After reaching a point in the story, players can also customize their vocation. The basic vocations are:
*[[Apprentice Adventurer]] (Beginner vocation)
*[[Warrior]]
*[[Mage]]
*[[Priest]]
*[[Martial Artist]]
*[[Sailor]]
*[[Dancer]]
*[[Ranger]]

There's also the unlockable [[Gadabout]] vocation, which is a joke vocation but has great Luck and Evasion rate at lv99.

Players can later unlock specialist vocations which require two of the basic vocations at lv50 or higher and a vocational scroll. These '''specialist vocations''' are:

*[[Battlemaster]] (Warrior + Martial Artist)
*[[Paladin]] (Priest + Martial Artist)
*[[Sage]] (Mage + Priest)
*[[Armamentalist]] (Warrior + Mage)
*[[Pirate]] (Sailor + Dancer)
*[[Monster Master]] (Sailor + Ranger)
*[[Luminary (vocation) |Superstar]] (Dancer + Ranger)
*[[Gladiator]] (Martial Artist + Sailor)
*[[Astronomer]] (Priest + Ranger)

Specialist vocations have better vocational skills, better stats, and can equip teachings, which give two additional -usually passive- skills to the player. The advanced vocations can be revocated three times, which means they can reach up to level 3*99. Once revocated, a green flame icon with a number will appear next to the character's level. Unlike the base vocations, the specialist vocations are more oriented to filingl a certain role that can complement another vocation. For example, Paladins can guard Superstars with their Battle Buddy skill so the Superstar can use On Stage and reduce the party's charge times without worrying about getting hit and stopping the effects of On Stage.

In the Japanse version there are super vocations, each of which has a skill points panel similar to those from {{DQ11}}. Players can get skill points by doing specific things, like leveling a vocation up to X level, win a fight at Footsteps of Erdrick in multiplayer, or finishing Y amount of combats using the vocation. As with specialist vocations, each requirement is per character:

*バトルキング Battle king (Battlemaster at lv99 or higher)
*ガーディアン Guardian (Paladin at lv99 or higher)
*魔賢導士 Archsage (Sage at lv99 or higher)
*星騎士 Star Knight (Armamentalist at lv99 or higher)
*宇宙海賊 Space Pirate (Pirate at lv99 or higher)
*天地雷鳴士 [[Druid]] (Monster Master at lv99 or higher)
*ウルトラスター Ultrastar (Superstar at lv99 or higher)
*ゴッドハンド [[Champion]] (Gladiator at lv99 or higher)
*時空術士 Astrotemporalist (Astronomer at lv99 or higher)
*ブレイブナイト Brave Knight (Acquire 5 minimedals)
*アルカナロード Arcana Lord (Acquire 5 dark medals)
*侍 Samurai (Battle King, Guardian, Star Knight, Space Pirate and Champion at lv99 or higher)
*軍師 Tactician (Archsage, Druid, Ultrastar and Astrotemporalist at lv99 or higher)

The super vocations can be revocated once, allowing a max level of 1*99. Each of these vocations gives the player a sigil when the player reaches max level with it.
When using a super vocation ,a red star will appear next to the character's level. If it's revocated, a 1 will appear on top of the star.
The first nine supervocations are even more advanced versions of the specialist vocations; while the later four have unique perks and habilities. Brave Knight allows players to access the main skills of 6 additional weapons aside from the equipped one -the skills are used in the order the player places them in the equipment screen-, Arcana Lord shows the element of enemy's charged skills and can give elemental protection to the party, Samurai can't equip shields but can equip a secondary weapon which can be swapped with the main weapon in battle; and Tactician can equip 6 additional weapons like the Brave Knight but can choose which skill to use.

Vocations aren't the only important thing affecting progress, weapons are the other big thing. Each weapon has one or two main skills (usually something unique to that weapon), and a series of sub-skill slots that allow you to use other skills as long as they are the same type of skill (there are 4: physical attack, physical support, magic attack, magic support), are allowed for that weapon type and are of the same rank or lower than the slot. Some special weapons have slots that are hybrids, being able to hold 2 types of skill.

Weapons, armor and skills can be upgraded for a stats and in the case of skills for reduced charge times. Gear can also be evolved up to four times using a duplicate or a weapon or armour jewel. Doing so increases the upgrade limit, and gives weapons better sub-slots for secondary skills. Weapons can be broken in order to extract their main skill and have that skill available to fill other weapon's sub-skills, if those slots are the same type and rank as the extracted skill. Some equipment can be [[Alchemy|alchemized]] and [[Awakening|awakened]].

===Combat===
Most of the game will be spent doing combats. In this game's battles, the player has to wait for the skill's timers to fill up before being able to use them. Each character does a simple auto-attack on each turn. Almost every vocation has 2 skills players can use in battle, like Anger, Sea Shanty, On Stage, Midheal, etc. After the vocational skills, both main and sub-skills for the character's equipped weapon are listed, and finally the shield's defending skill.
The core mechanic is knowing the monster's weaknesses and using the skills in a timely manner, specially during the co-op multiplayer matches.

Before each dungeon begins, players can choose which items they are bringing into the battle (up to 4), and if they want to use food with special properties such as raising a specific resistance or boosting some stats.

Fight difficulty is divided in the following categories: '''Beginner''', '''Advanced''', '''Hero''', '''Legendary'''. There are higher difficulties that require special one-time-use items to unlock: '''Giga-legendary''', '''Fiend''', '''Daemon''' and '''Archfiend'''. However, only [[Nokturnus|one monster]] falls under the Daemon difficulty, and while there are several Archfiends in the Japanese version of the game, only one was available in the Global version prior to the End of Service: [[Emperor Xeylon]]. For some special bosses, there is an additional tier, accessed via '''Revelation''' keys, which is harder than Legendary but generally easier than Giga-legendary.

===Minigames===
There is a casino in Dragon Quest of the Stars, the Squirrel Station. It offers these minigames:
*'''King Splash - Coin Pusher''': A simple coin pusher. The gameplay is simple, players get chests, then befriend monsters, fight bosses from the trilogy of Erdrick, and try to get the jackpot. Each time you defeat Dragonlord (2nd form), Malroth or Zoma, the game softresets. After Zoma, the boss cycle starts again. This machine was eventually made in real life for some game centers in Japan.
*'''Cyril's One Two Hey!''': It's Rock, Paper, Scissors against some DQotS characters like Gaius or Cyril, with an added All or Nothing component.
*'''Slime Darts''': Players throw slimes at a board, trying to aim for the prizes.
*'''Line'Em Up! Flappy Slime''': It's a matching game. Players don't have much control over it, but occasionally a reroll chance will trigger and they can select where they want the new panel picture to be placed.

All four casino minigames have normal and premium machines. The premium machines cost x3 the normal cost, but also have x3 higher prizes. These require a StarPass subscription* (*unavailable since March 31st, 2021 in the Global version), or waiting until it opens to everyone, which happens from time to time.

In the Japanese version, a '''Monster Arena''' exists too. It's a bit similar to the monster arena in {{DQ8}}, however the monster parties in Stars have 4 party members instead of just 3. Players can raise an ever expanding variety of monsters and fight against the AI to progress through tournaments, or fight against the teams of other players using qr and text codes.

Another Japanese-exclusive feature is the '''Hero Training''', which allow players to send characters from the main series to expeditions and gain experience to level up. The main purpose of leveling them up is to get "blessings" from the heroes, which give a small bonus to the characters who equips them.

==Global version==
The global version of ''Dragon Quest of the Stars'' was developed and operated by Koei Tecmo Games, and Koei Tecmo Singapore.
===Pre-launch===
On September 30<ref group="">[https://www.polygon.com/2019/9/30/20891178/dragon-quest-of-the-stars-closed-beta-android Polygon: ''Dragon Quest'' mobile RPG finally coming to the West after five years]. Published on September 30, 2019.</ref>, 2019 Square Enix announced that the game would recieve a Global release and that it would have a closed beta test for the English version of the game on Android devices in Canada and Taiwan from October 30 to November 28, 2019. Game data from this beta test didn't transfer to the full game, but beta testers could get a commemorative in-game badge when the game actually launched.

On February 23, 2020 Square Enix announced Stars had reached 500,000 pre-registrations.

===Service starts===
The game finally launched globally on '''February 25, 2020''', available for iOS and Android. It included five languages: English, Chinese, French, German and Spanish.
Most stamps were translated in each language, except 4 which were kept in English, Chinese, French, German and Spanish regardless of which language you were playing in. These four stamps were the Hello, Thanks, See you later and Good game stamps.

The global version had some exclusive content: the ''Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia'' collaboration event & equipment, the Lunar New Year event & equipment, and the paid beginner sets equipment sets.

The Covid-19 epidemic hit the development team early during development, leading into the content being released at a slower pace. The game had miscommunication issues between the development team and players, which lead to frustration on both parts. After the summer of 2020, Square Enix assigned a community manager to help improve the relationship between fans and developers. Square Enix held a few livestreams to detail new content and banners, and upcoming roadmaps. The live-streams also served as Q&A sessions where players would send questions to the CM via Discord and Reddit and he would show players the answer the developers had. The first live-stream was held on November 25, 2020; the second on December 16, 2020. The final livestream for the game was the 1st Anniverary Live-stream, on February 25, 2021.

During its lifespan, the Global version saw story events for the first seven mainline ''Dragon Quest'' titles, two crossover events, two Giga-Battle events, and a big array of miscellaneous events including experience and upgrade events.

===Closure===
On March 30, 2021 Square Enix announced that the global game servers will be shut down on June 30, 2021.

==Trivia==
[[File:DQotS Astrotemporalist GL.jpg|thumb|right|An Astrotemporalist ("Super [[Astronomer]]") helper.]]
*Biollante's inclusion in the ''Godzilla'' event is an homage to the fact that [[Kōichi Sugiyama]] wrote and performed the score for 1989's ''Godzilla vs Biollante''.
*Rodan's event cinematic is an homage to the monster perching atop a building in New York City in 2004's ''Godzilla: Final Wars''.
*Cobarara is the only original monster from this game to appear in other ''Dragon Quest'' games, as he appeared in {{DQMJ3P}} and the mobile releases of {{DQM3D}} and {{DQM2R}}.
*新しい地図 join ミュージック (''Atarashiichizu join MUSIC'') released a special song, 星のファンファーレ (''Hoshi no fanfare''), to celebrate the milestone of 20 million downloads in Japan alone. The song was composed by Nakajin.
*Some of the super vocation names listed in this page use fantranslated names -like Star Knight, Arcana Lord or Tactician-, however some others are listed with the official name they have in other localized games -like [[Druid]] or [[Champion]]-. Some others -Battle King, Guardian, Ultrastar and Astrotemporalist-, use the names they had in the Global version. Despite never being available as vocations for the players of the game, high level players could get bot helpers with these vocations in the first few weeks of service until it was eventually patched out.

Talk:Princess of Cannock

Heroman12 — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 00:27:20 GMT

Heroman12:

This is not a significant character in Dragon Quest II. She is named (obviously) but does not play any part in the overall plot of the game. In other words, she is too insignificant to merit an article. --[[User:Pagoda|Pagoda]] 19:58, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

EVERY character, EVERY monster, EVERY spell should have an article. Even if it is a small character which a lot of characters are in Dragon Quest.--[[User:BigCubby|BigCubby]] 12:38, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

I agree about monsters and spells, but I think there has to be some sort of standard for characters. I have no problem saying that every 'named' character should have an article, or that every 'significant' character should have an article. The Princess of Cannock is neither. Can you be more clear what you define as a 'character'? --[[User:Pagoda|Pagoda]] 14:12, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

I am at a little mess up here because I have never played the game but just judging by the title of the article then I would say she is a little bit worth of an article just because of the "Princess" title. However I am not sure what the guidelines are or what it should be but the "Princess" part really makes me think she deserves an article.

:I had honestly forgotten that the Prince of Cannock had a sister and thought that this was just a typo or somethin'. While I suppose every character should get their due, it might be easier to just include the Princess of Cannock in the character list of the ''[[Dragon Quest II]]'' page and mention her in the Prince of Cannock's page, especially if she plays so little a role that she's nearly as remarkable as a town resident.--[[User:PantheonSasuke|PantheonSasuke]] 15:02, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

== Names ==

In the NES 'Dragon Warrior II' release, she is referred to as Princess Halla by the guard NPC outside of her room at Cannock: 'That is the chamber of Prince [name]'s sister, Princess Halla.' It would be good to include this information in the article somewhere in the future. I was hesitant to add it myself because I'm unsure of the formatting etiquette, though. --[[User:Mitsukara|Mitsukara]] 19:56, September 23, 2025 (UTC)
:Interesting. May I ask if you had known this information first-hand or did you learn this information from another person? [[User:Heroman12|Heroman12]] ([[User talk:Heroman12|talk]]) 00:27, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

The ''Princess of Cannock'' is a non-player character in ''[[Dragon Quest II]]''. She lives at [[Cannock|Cannock Castle]] and, as her name implies, is the sister of the [[Prince of Cannock]] and the daughter of the King of Cannock. Although this also makes her a descendant of [[Erdrick]], she does not take part in the quest to defeat [[Hargon]] in versions of the game prior to the ''[[Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake]]'' where she joins the other [[Scions of Erdrick]] and becomes a playable character.

Her name used in promotional images for ''Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake'' is '''Matilda'''.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ2}}===
The Princess plays a very passive role in the game, cheering her brother on from the safety of the castle while the [[Luminaries]] save the world from the wicked occultist's plot. Her brother does not allow her to participate in the quest, likely due to being too young and having no formal martial or magical training, causing her to pout in frustration. Despite this she is very close to her older brother, being moved to tears if her cousins speak to her while the Prince is deceased.
====Scrapped ending====
The Princess of Cannock was meant to play a major role in a scrapped alternate ending, which Yuji Horii revealed in an interview with Monthly LOGiN magazine in May of 1987. The Prince of Cannock would sacrifice himself to destroy [[Malroth]], possibly using [[Kamikazee]], and would save the world at the cost of his own life. The remaining Luminaries would return to their homes, and during the victory celebration at Midenhall castle the Princess of Cannock would enter the scene with a short sword in her hand.

This scenario was likely cut due to the strict memory limitations of the 1 megabit [[Famicom]] cartridge the game was programmed on, and when subsequent versions of the game were released the material was deemed unsuitable for the series and was passed over.

The Princess was revealed as the fourth party member during the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC1iBil7DR0 March 27, 2025 Nintendo Direct trailer], sporting a new outfit based on her older brother's garb.

Unlike them, she is able to learn magic and has high speed in addition to a decent selection of equipment and stats.

The '''Princess of Moonbrooke''' is a character in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as a playable {{Party 2}} member in {{Dragon Quest II}}.

She is a descendant of [[Erdrick]] who inherited none of her ancestor's physical strength but makes up for it with her magical prowess.

After [[Hargon]] attacks [[Moonbrooke]], the Princess of Moonbrooke is cursed and turned into a dog. Later, after her cousins the {{Prince of Midenhall}} and the [[Prince of Cannock]] break the curse, she joins forces with them to exact revenge on [[Hargon]] for what he did to her subjects and her father.

==Appearance and Personality==
She is depicted as shorter than her cousins, by how much depending on the illustration. She alternates between having blonde and lavender hair, and is clothed in a white robe and purple or red hood with Erdrick's crest on the forehead, carrying what looks to be a [[Wizard's staff]] in the Japanese version of the game. Her eye color changes between lavender, red, and blue, as well. In the American illustrations for the {{NES}} version of the game she is tall, blond, and wears a pink and black robe, knee-high black boots, red cape and holds the [[Lightning staff]]. When cursed by [[Hargon]], she took the form of a brown dog.

The Princess comes across as a shy but strong willed girl, who wants revenge on [[Hargon]] for what was done to her father and [[Moonbrooke|home]]. When encountered in various spin-offs and cameo appearances in later games, the Princess is a jubilant and perky young woman prone to fits of laughter. Humorously, she sometimes ''barks'' when she becomes angry in said cameos, such as [[Fortune Street]].

==Appearances==
==={{DQ2}}===
The Princess is first seen in the opening cutscene, and is encountered in person in [[Moonaham]]. Unable to communicate with her cousins due to her curse, she follows them around as a {{Party 2}} member anyway as head's up to new players that the dog is more than it seems. After getting hints from the townsfolk of [[Moonaham]], the two princes find the [[Ra's Mirror]] in a swamp east of the ruins of [[Moonbrooke]]. Returning to the village, the mirror is used on the Princess and she is restored.

====Equipment====
The Princess of Moonbrooke is the most limited in terms of equipment compared to her cousins, being only able to equip light clothing and magical staves and wands. She cannot use any shields. She joins the {{Party 2}} equipped only with [[Plain clothes]] and a [[Cypress stick]] and does not have much in the way of physical {{Attack}}s and {{Defense}}. The {{SFC}}, {{GBC}}, and [[Cell phone|iOS/Android]] versions of the game mitigate this slightly by improving the attack scores on the wands she can equip.

====Names====
*Her name and stats are determined by the name the player chooses for the {{Hero 2}}. The Princess' name is selected from a list of eight names. They are Maria, Elani, Ollisa, Roz, Kailin, Peta, Illyth, and Gwen.
*In the {{Game Boy Color}} version, her possible names are: Erin, Mary, Nana, Beth, Fran, Gwen, Lynn, and Sara. Her name can be changed manually by putting in a code at the title screen.
*In the [[Cell phone|smartphone]] and [[Nintendo Switch]] versions, her possible names are no longer based on the Hero's name and instead is chosen randomly. The names are: Eileen, Elaine, Fleurette, Ginny, Isolde, Lynda, Maria and Peronel. It can also be manually entered at the beginning of the game.
*The Japanese options for her name are Eileen (アイリン), Akina (あきな), Samantha (サマンサ), Nana (ナナ), Pudding (プリン), Maiko (まいこ), Maria (マリア), and Linda (リンダ).
*The official Japanese [[Dragon Quest II CD Theater|CD theater]] drama calls her Nana, from her default names. The novel switches things up by calling her Seria, a name not found in the game.
*In ''[[Fortune Street]]'', her name is Princessa or Pudding. In {{Dragon Quest IX}}, her name is Princessa.
*{{DQStars}} refers to her as Pudding again.
*In the Japanese version of {{DQTact}}, her name is Pudding, while the English version calls her Peronel. The latter name is also used for her promotional appearance in {{DQ1&2HD}}.

==={{DQ9}}===
On May 27, 2011, the Princess of Moonbrooke began appearing as a special guest under the name of '''Princess Princessa''' at the [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. This could be downloaded through the [[DQVC]] using Nintendo's Wi-Fi channel when it was still available. When spoken to, she will give the {{Hero 9}} different pieces of her outfit is certain conditions are fulfilled.
*[[Moonbrooke dress]] - Received when talking to her.
*[[Moonbrooke hood]] - Received when it is the player's birthday.
*[[Moonbrooke shoes]] - Received after the inn is fully expanded.
The player will receive the [[Accolade]] '''Moonbrooke Maiden''' if the {{Hero 9}} wears all of the parts of the Prince of Moonbrooke's costume.

==={{DQ11}}===
The princess is found in the [[Moonaham]] section of the [[Echo Chamber]], where in she has returned to [[human]] form at the cost of the citizens becoming dogs themselves. Distraught, she requests aid from the {{Luminary}} and seeks a jug of [[Magic water]] to undo the curse. After being given the phial and returning history to normal, she laments her fate and awaits the arrival of her cousins. Humorously, she is greatly taken aback at how common magic water is in the {{Luminary}}'s world compared to her own, which is likely a developer joke at how mundane magical items have become in recent games in the series.

==={{DQTreasures}}===
A statue representing the princess is [[List of treasures in Dragon Quest Treasures|Treasure No. 331]],, with a base value of 1,200,000.

==={{DQRivals}}===

==Legacy==
The fair Princess introduces several firsts to the {{Main Series}} series, such as being the first heroine to join the protagonist, the series' original dedicated spell-casting character, and the first to endure the destruction of their family and home. Such a melancholy fate would become the series' standard, with only a scant few lead characters avoiding the trend.

The '''Prince of [[Cannock]]''' is a character in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as a playable {{Party 2}} member in {{Dragon Quest II}}.

He is one of four descendents of [[Erdrick]] who journeys to defeat [[Hargon]] after his attack on [[Moonbrooke]], and is the second playable character added to the {{Party 2}}. He also has a sister who is the [[Princess of Cannock]].

The Prince of [[Cannock]]'s abilities are a mix between both of his [[Luminaries|cousins]], the {{Prince of Midenhall}} and the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]]. Though he is physically strong, he is weaker than the {{Prince of Midenhall}}, and while he can use magic, most of his spells are not as powerful as those available to the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]]. In terms of statistics and spell choices, the Prince of [[Cannock]] has more in common with the other [[Hero]]es of the series.

Upon learning of the tragedy that befell [[Moonbrooke]], the Prince of Cannock set out on a journey, first travelling to the [[Wellspring of the Hero]]. Later, he met the Prince of [[Midenhall]] at the [[inn]] in [[Leftwyne]], where the two [[Luminaries|cousins]] joined forces and began travelling together.

==Appearance and personality==
Of the four titular [[luminaries]] of the legendary line, the Prince of [[Cannock]] falls in the second-tallest in terms of height. In the Japanese box art and all other versions of the game, the prince has shaggy orange hair and wears a green tabard with [[Erdrick]]'s crest on the front and an orange cape attached over a form-fitting black jumpsuit. He also wears green gloves and boots, as well as a pair of goggles on his head. In the American box art for the {{NES}} version of the game, he is still wearing the odd goggles on his head, but his tunic has been replaced with a full suit of green armor. The Prince is also seen carrying a green/black shield with a red jewel in the middle and wields a nondescript [[rapier]].

In the Japanese version, the Prince is described as a slacker, a drinker, and an overall really fun guy; however, in the {{NES}} American version the Prince of [[Cannock]] is described as a studious young man immersed in his studies. This is presumably due to the heavy censorship [[Nintendo]] of America enforced during the late 80s and early 90s. Later versions are loyal to the Japanese script and refer to the Prince in the same way.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ2}}===
The Prince of [[Cannock]] sets out to aid his cousin, the {{Prince of Midenhall}}, when word of the sacking of [[Moonbrooke]] castle reaches him. Unfortunately, the Prince does not stay in one place for long and leads the player on a wild goose chase until meeting up with him at the inn of [[Leftwyne]].

Later in the game in all versions besides the {{NES}} original, the prince becomes ill after staying at the inn in [[Beran]]. The other heroes can travel to a small island with a single tree tile upon it and retrieve a [[Yggdrasil leaf]] in order to cure him and continue adventuring, or may leave him behind. Doing such only slightly affects the ending of the game, where the prince's dialogue bemoans how awful his luck is.

====Equipment====
The Prince of [[Cannock]] can equip a wide variety of weapons and armor, though not as many as the Prince of Midenhall, nor as potent.

In remake versions of the game, he has access to a wider variety of equipment, such as [[Erdrick's Sword]] and the [[Aurora blade]].

The '''Prince of [[Cannock]]''' is a character in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as a playable {{Party 2}} member in {{Dragon Quest II}}.

He is one of four descendents of [[Erdrick]] who journeys to defeat [[Hargon]] after his attack on [[Moonbrooke]], and is the second playable character added to the {{Party 2}}. He also has a sister who is the [[Princess of Cannock]].

The Prince of [[Cannock]] sets out to aid his cousin, the {{Prince of Midenhall}}, when word of the sacking of [[Moonbrooke]] castle reaches him. Unfortunately, the Prince does not stay in one place for long and leads the player on a wild goose chase until meeting up with him at the inn of [[Leftwyne]].

Later in the game in all versions besides the {{NES}} original, the prince becomes ill after staying at the inn in [[Beran]]. The other heroes can travel to a small island with a single tree tile upon it and retrieve a [[Yggdrasil leaf]] in order to cure him and continue adventuring, or may leave him behind. Doing such only slightly affects the ending of the game, where the prince's dialogue bemoans how awful his luck is.

}}

The '''Prince of Midenhall''' is one of the four playable characters from {{Dragon Quest II}}.

He is a descendant of [[Erdrick]] who responds to the sudden rising threat of [[Hargon]]. He inherited all of his ancestor's physical strength, but unlike his cousins the [[Prince of Cannock]], the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]], and the [[Princess of Cannock]], he cannot use magic, and as such is the only {{Main Series}} main [[hero]] who doesn't possess any magical ability. The HD-2D remake does give him several non-magical skills however.

The name given to the hero in the Japanese [[Dragon Quest II CD Theater|CD theater]] drama and novelizations is '''Allen''' (アレン). For the promotional images of {{DQ1&2HD}}, he is given the name '''Gawain'''.

==Appearance and Personality==
The Hero wears blue for the most part, though the goggles that rest on his helmet are brown. He wears a blue tunic over black form-fitting long-sleeved shirt and pants, blue shoes with light blue socks, and blue gloves. Across his chest is a swordbelt with a scabbard attached to the back. He also wears a brown belt around his waist with a small brown pouch on it and a belt buckle in the shape of [[Emblem of Erdrick|Erdrick's symbol]]. His sword is typical aside from the hand cover built into the hilt, and his shield is adorned with [[Erdrick]]'s symbol. His hair varies between illustrations, where it's shown to be black in color and trimmed short in older pieces and unkempt silver in later works. In many modern depictions, he is often seen wielding the [[thunderbolt blade]].

Even though the Hero is a silent protagonist and his personality is open for the player to define, a strong sense of justice can be seen in the beginning of the game, as he sets out to stop [[Hargon]] and his evil cult without so much as a "But thou must" proposal from the King.

Although the Hero is the only nameable character, he remains equal in stature with his three companions in {{Dragon Quest II}}, the [[Prince of Cannock]], the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]], and the [[Princess of Cannock]]. All four are descendants of [[Erdrick]]. This varies from other games in the series where only the hero is of notable birth compared to his party companions.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ2}}===
The Prince of [[Midenhall]] is the first Luminary that the player controls in the game, responding to news of [[Hargon]]'s assault on [[Moonbrooke]] by setting out to assemble his cousins and take the fight to the mad priest's citadel in the frozen plateau of [[Rendarak]].

====Equipment====
As the most physically powerful of the trio, the Prince of [[Midenhall]] has access to the widest range of weapons and armor. He can equip every weapon and piece of armor available, including heavier ones that his cousins cannot use, such as the [[Sledgehammer]]. This means he is also the only character who has access to the legendary [[Erdrick Equipment|Erdrick's equipment]], and as such, should use them when facing [[Hargon]].

While he does not appear in the game physically, he is mentioned several times along with his cousins by various characters, Hargon, his [[Children of Hargon|Children]], and even the amnesiac Malroth. His clothing can be obtained after the Builder exchanges a certain amount of [[mini medal]]s to the Hairy Hermit.

==={{DQTreasures}}===
The prince is represented by a statue based on his likeness, being [[List of treasures in Dragon Quest Treasures|Treasure No. 329]] with a base value of 5,000,000

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters +]]''===
The Prince appears as a main character during Kleo's venture into [[Rendarak]]. He saves the lad from [[Batmandrill]]s and is astonished that a [[human]] can consider monsters as his allies. The Prince displays astounding superhuman strength, breaking through stone barriers and manhandling massive {{MFamilies}}s.

==Trivia==
*He is the only main [[hero]] who cannot use magic of any kind.
*In the Japanese version of the game, he is depicted as the tallest of the cousins.
*In the artwork for the American {{NES}} version of the game, he is still wearing [[Erdrick]]'s signature blue armor, but the shield had been changed from blue to red.

The '''Hero''' of the first {{DQ}} game is a descendant of [[Erdrick]] who set out to rid [[Alefgard]] of the evil tyranny of the dreaded [[Dragonlord]] and bring [[Ball of Light|light]] back to the kingdom.

His name in the Japanese [[Dragon Quest I CD Theater|CD drama]] and novelization is '''Alef''' (アレフ). In the promotional screenshots for {{DQ1&2HD}}, his name is '''Solo''', which is also shared with the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]] of ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''.
==Appearance and personality==
The seminal Hero is often depicted as a young man of athletic build, wearing the traditional armor of Erdrick (including his [[Erdrick#The Helmet of Erdrick|helm]] and [[Erdrick#The Shield of Erdrick|shield]]) and a bright red cape billowing behind him.

The sprite used for the original 8-bit adventure is dressed appropriately for combat, donning blue [[Full plate armour|Full plate armor]], a helm that superficially resembles the helmet of [[Ortega]] with an added orange pony-tail, a large circular shield embedded with a red jewel in its center (possibly a ruby), and an impressively sized claymore sheathed at his side.

Setting the narrative standard for all other ''Dragon Quest'' protagonists to follow, the Hero is utterly silent, only communicating in answers of 'Yes' and 'No'. This was a conscious decision made by series creator [[Yuji Horii]] to help draw the player into the world of Alefgard on a more personal level, rather than viewing the events of the game as an observer.

====Spells====
Setting the standard ''magic knight'' archetype of the series' protagonists, the descendant of Erdrick is equally adept at magic as he is with weapons.

{{spoiler|start}}
The setting of ''Builders'' is a hypothetical world where the Hero chose to accept the Dragonlord's offer of ruling half the world. Several characters ponder aloud as to why such a man would descend into darkness, but the game leaves it to players to speculate for themselves. The fallen Hero is encountered in person in the fourth chapter as a boss, with the epitaph ''The Fallen Hero''--The [[King of Darkness]]. Perhaps most tragically is that the Builder will see crude tents scattered in front of the grounds before his keep--Goddess only knows how many people prayed for their hero to return in vain.

Far from being the equal to the Dragonlord, the Hero has been reduced to a cackling lunatic cloistered away in a small fortress near Alefgard. He believes himself to be the true king of the world, and declares that the penalty for the Builder invading his "real" shall be death. During battle he is armed with his original copies of the Sword of Kings and Hero's shield, and can perform a spin attack. He has just enough sense left to taunt the Builder during their skirmish, and will summon monsters to aid him when his health drops to half and 1/4th. When beaten, he flees and is never seen again.

The Hero is called the '''Scion of Erdrick''' and he appears as a S-rank member of the [[Hero family]] as part of the limited ''True Dragon Quest I'' event, appearing on his own banner alongside the [[Blue dragon]]. He can participate in the [[Death scorpion|Death scorpion's]] Battle Road as a party member.

==Trivia==
*Though every picture and even the game sprite show the Hero wearing a helmet, the equip menu in the game doesn't have a slot for a helmet. The helmet worn by the sprite resembles the horned helmet given to [[Ortega]], the father of the [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Hero]] of {{Dragon Quest III}} at the beginning of the game, which later becomes the The Helmet of Erdrick.
**It's possible to speculate that the Hero of {{DQ}} is simply wearing the Helmet of Erdrick the entire game, as that is the only equipment the Hero of ''Dragon Quest III'' kept for himself due to being the last memento of Ortega, and would have presumably been passed down to his/her descendants. The Hero would have no need to upgrade to another helmet, since no others would offer better protection. Erdrick's Shield is also unavailable in ''Dragon Quest''; however, the shield that the Hero wields in official illustrations clearly has the crest of Erdrick on it.

The '''magic bikini''' is a special outfit in the {{DQSeries}}. This beach outfit for women provides some protection against harmful magic.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The magic bikini has a defence bonus of +40 in the NES version, +65 in all remake versions, and reduces magic damage taken by 33% in the GBC version. It can be equipped by any vocation as long as they are female. One can be obtained from the owner of [[Asham]]'s theater after speaking to Lena in [[Damdara]]'s inn. [[Merking]]s also have 1⁄64 chance to drop them as well. It also changes the wearer's appearance outside of battle.

|DQ8=An enchanted bikini that reduces damage from enemy spells by 15 points.<ref>Sony PlayStation 2 and Nintendo 3DS version.</ref>
}}
The magic bikini has a defence bonus of +50 and reduces damage taken from [[Frizz]], [[Sizz]], and [[Bang]] spells by 15. It can only be worn by [[Jessica Albert|Jessica]], whose appearance changes accordingly. It can be purchased in [[Arcadia]] for 13,800 gold.
* In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version, [[Red]] can also equip the bikini, but it will not change her appearance. Like some of Jessica's other outfits, the bikini has been changed to be less revealing to comply with the Japanese CERO ratings board. It can now also be dropped rarely by [[Merking]]s.

Scandalous swimsuit

Heroman12: Does the Female Hero have a unique sprite while wearing a bikini in the iOS/Android/Switch versions?

The '''scandalous swimsuit''' is a leotard that appeared in first appeared in ''[[Dragon Quest II]]'', setting the precedent for skimpy clothing in the series.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ2}}===
The swimsuit was planned to appear in the {{NES}} version of the game game, but was scrapped due to development crunch. In the 14th issue of Famicom Tsushin, 1987, it was stated to have been similar to the [[mink mantle]] in terms of {{Defense}} power and outrageous cost.

In the MSX2 version, the bikini was properly implemented as an equipable armor. It is reserved for the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]], naturally, and every enemy has a 1/8th chance to be stunned by her beauty when she's wearing it. If the King of Tantegel is spoken to with the swimsuit in the party's possession but not equipped, the crude and lewd cutscene will play out and display the Princess wearing the bikini in rather primitive 8-bit glory.

==={{DQ3}}===
[[File:Bikini Bliss.png|right|thumb|100px]]
The scandalous swimsuit has a bonus of +1. In the NES version, it can be purchased from [[Asham]] for 1,100 [[gold]] coins. In the remakes, the scandalous swimsuit can only be purchased in [[Damdara]] for the exorbitant price of 78,000 gold coins and can be sold for 58,500. One can also be found in the fifth [[T'n'T board]] at [[Jipang]] (Absent from the {{NES}} and [[cell phone]] versions).

The scandalous swimsuit can be equipped only by females and also changes their appearance on the field. Each vocation has a different sprite in the Super Famicom and Gameboy Color version, but the merchant's sprite is used for every lady (aside from the female Hero) in the iOS/Android/Switch port, though the colors vary depending on the vocation.

==={{DQB}}===
In a strong break from tradition, even men are able to wear the scandalous swimsuit—it is modified into a red fundoshi loincloth and does not include a top piece. It increases defence by +1, requires one piece of finest fur, magic dye, and cord to craft, and can be assembled at a mason’s workstation or sewing station. The recipe is obtained in the third chapter of the game.

==={{DQB2}}===
The bikini was granted a quintuple buff and now increases defence by +5. The recipe is the reward for building a Pool of Paradise on the [[Isle of Awakening]], and requires three lumps of cotton and one cord to assemble.

==={{DQTreasures}}===
The scandalous swimsuit is the thirty-sixth Legendary Armour in the game, and has a base value of 1,780,000.

==={{DQTact}}===
The Scandalous Swimsuit is an S-rank piece of armour that can be acquired as part of the limited ''Hijinks on the High Seas! Swimwear, Waves, and Pirates!?'' event by clearing the Merman's Den stages on any difficulty. It has a {{Defense}} bonus of only +1, has a 1% chance to charm an enemy after they attack the wearer and has three slots for Alchemy Effects.

'''''Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake''''' is a full re-imagining of the first two titles in the ''Dragon Quest'' series in Team Asano's famed HD-2D artstyle which fuses high-quality pixel art with 3D graphics. It includes a full remake of ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line|Dragon Quest II]]''.

This dual pack was announced following the reintroduction of ''[[Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake]]'', which used to have no new announcements after its original reveal. At the time of its announcement, it is only known that a worldwide release is planned for 2025 on the same platforms as the ''DQIII'' remake.

''Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake'' will be released on October 30, 2025 for the [[Nintendo Switch]], [[Nintendo Switch 2]], [[PlayStation 5]], [[Xbox Series X/S]], and [[Steam]]. For the Nintendo Switch 2, physical copies will only come with a game-key card.

==New features==
===Scenario changes===
* The [[Princess of Cannock]] is now a party member accompanying the Scions of Erdrick on their quest to stop [[Hargon]].
* New story segments such as [[Belial]] incinerating a [[Babygoyle]] and a new [[Manguini]] monster, as well as another attack by monsters.
* The Scions of Erdrick now have to collect medals from their home kingdoms of [[Midenhall]], [[Cannock]], and [[Moonbrooke]] in order to be worthy of visiting the [[Pillar of Winds]].
* The [[5 Sigils|Sun Sigil]] is now found on a pedestal near the outskirts of the [[List of shrines and teleportals in Dragon Quest II|Fire Shrine]].
* [[Mini Medal|Mini Medals]] have been added to both games.
===Presentation===
* Re-imagined locations and HD-quality sprites.
* Certain areas have been slightly modified to account for the perspective changing from the classic top-down view to the pop up book style found in other HD2D titles.
* Orchestral soundtrack.
===Character changes===
* The [[Prince of Cannock]] has been buffed considerably, akin to how weak he infamously was originally.
===Battle changes===
* The [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|hero of Dragon Quest I]] now battles multiple enemies at once rather than only one at a time originally.
* New skills have been added to all of the heroes. They can learn them by finding ability scrolls located in side-quests, dungeons, and hidden areas.
* You can now view Enemy Info while battling them by clicking the right stick.
* Targeting a monster with an elemental attack it is weak to displays a red marker over it, and doing so with a resisted element displays the marker in blue.
* Enemies from later entries of the main series and enemies of the first entry for ''II'' are added in ''Dragon Quest I'' and ''Dragon Quest II'', such as [[bubble slime]]s in the former and [[rumble bee]]s and [[drackolyte]]s in the latter.
===Others===
* Having saved data of ''Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake'' allows players to receive animal costumes for the playable characters. For the hero of ''Dragon Quest I'', it is based on a shiba-inu; for the heroes of ''Dragon Quest II'', they are based on the different colors of cats.

'''My goal:''' Fix some grammatical errors I can find and add missing information based on my research.

'''My likes on video games:''' I play ''Mario'' games, ''Kirby'', ''Zelda'', ''Animal Crossing'', ''Pokemon'' (sometimes), ''EarthBound'', ''Pikmin'', ''Undertale'', and ''Dragon Quest''. Will try to play a ''Megaten'' game one day but I do heavy research about them.

'''To Do List:'''
# See the ''Dark Prince'' monster bestiary and check if there are missing links to references and try to name which of their old names debuted in a previous game system.
# Check the different pages of DQ I, II, III, IV (if there are updates), V, and VI (and all of their ports/remakes) if there are pictures of monsters or special characters there then try to link them in the monster or character's respective pages. The rest of the main series may be done later.
# Add more info on Chateau de Sass.
# Add info on the origin of the given monster names for the recruitable ones of DQ V.
# Add info on the DQ III's monster drops since the info of the drops of certain monsters are not complete.
# Add the missing recruitable monsters in the monster recruitment page, namely on those who debuted in DQ VIII 3DS. Also add them in the template of VIII.
# Add link and category of the rare monsters found in this wiki.
# Name the game or console that an area, item, equipment, character, and monster's name was used (like the old name of DQ I's Presditigator). Focus from DQ I to VI first, for other games prioritize on the monsters' name (use the monster family page).
# Add more info on the horse and monster riding page. Use this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfESsXm-I9U&list=LL&index=881) for more monster info.
# Try to find the named monsters and add them to the main monster page. Focus on the recrutiable monster from DQ VIII, The Dark Prince, and mainline DQ games (plus the ''Builder'' and ''Heroes'' series if ever).
# Put artwork found in ''Torneko: Last Hope'' into the pages of characters and monsters.
# Read and put info and artwork of ''DQ Builders 1 and 2'' and also ''DQ Heroes 1 and 2''.

Focus Pocus

{{Spell Infobox
|title = Focus Pocus
|image =
|japanese = せいしんとういつ
|romaji = {{tt|Seishin tōitsu|Mental concentration}}
|old = Focus
|type = Skill
}}
<center>''This should not be confused with the [[Focus]] skill tree or the [[Hocus Pocus]] spell.''</center>

'''Focus Pocus''' is an ability in the {{DQSeries}}.

It first appeared in the {{Monsters Series}} series of games as an ability that would let the user take two actions their next turn. In the main games, Focus Pocus replenishes the user's {{MP}} after each turn.

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake]]''===
In the 2024 remake, Focus Pocus can be learned by the [[Monster Wrangler]] upon recruiting [[List of recruitable monsters in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake|80 monsters]]. It recovers MP based on the user's level for 3 MP for 3~5 turns, calculated as ''Level x 0.2''.

==={{DQ7}}===
Appearing exclusively in the {{3DS}} version, Focus Pocus can be learned by {{Luminaries V}} at rank 4 and [[Druid]]s at rank 1. {{MP}} restored is ''((Level / 10) -1)'', meaning the range is 3~8 at level 99. The restoration lasts for 6~9 turns.

==={{DQ9}}===
The ability is learned with 46 skill points allocated into [[List of spellcraft skills in Dragon Quest IX|Spellcraft skill]]. It costs 3 {{MP}} to use, lasts 4~6 turns, and the amount of {{MP}} restored per turn is ''Level / 10'' with 3 {{MP}} being the minimum restored.

==={{DQM}}===
When used, Focus allows the {{MFamilies}} to perform the same skill or spell their next turn twice in a row. Although it has no {{MP}} cost, it uses {{MP}} for both moves performed, meaning that it has no effect on skills such as [[Magic Burst|MegaMagic]] that completely drain the user's {{MP}}. It can be learned naturally by [[Blackmar|Akubar]], [[Mortamor|DeathMore3]], [[HerbMan|herbman]], and [[Demon-at-arms|servant]] as long as they are level 18 with 126 max {{HP}}, 108 {{Defence}}, 108 {{Agility}}, and 108 {{Intelligence}}.
*Focus can also be learned by any {{MFamilies}} that knows [[Muster Strength|ChargeUp]], [[Deep Breath|SuckAir]], and [[Meditation|Meditate]].

==={{DQM2}}===
Focus now requires 195 {{Intelligence}} to learn and can be learned by [[Asura Zoma|AsuraZoma]], [[Grandpa slime|granslime]], [[Neo Dragonlord|LordDraco]], [[Orgodemir]], and [[Poseidon]].

Monster Wrangler

[[File:DQX Monster_Wranglers.png|thumb|right|[[Dwarf]], human, and [[Ogre (race)|Ogre]] Wranglers in Dragon Quest X]]
The '''Monster Wrangler''' (まもの使い, ''Mamono Tsukai'') is a powerhouse [[vocation]] that relies brute strength in battle and makes up for its shortcoming by [[Monster recruitment|making allies of monsters defeated in battle]].
.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3HD}}===
The Monster Wrangler was added to the third remake of the third game in the series in 2024, utilizing the design seen in ''X''. Their abilities are based on those of monsters and they can supplement these by recruiting beasts found throughout the world.

The vocation has the inglorious distinction of being the one male design that was censored to satisfy the strictness of the CERO ratings board, with the men now wearing black shirts instead of going bare chested.

The Monster Wrangler is much more physically robust profession, boasting the third highest strength and fourth highest HP of all vocations. This is balanced by having a pitiful agility and having the bar-none worst MP available.

The Monster Wrangler wields [[Axes]], [[Claw Weapon Family|Claws]], [[Whips]] in battle, and possesses the exclusive skill tree of ''まものマスター''. This skill set focuses on:

All characters who train monsters are referred to as Monster Wranglers, with the term first being alluded to by the [[wrangler's ring]] item in {{DQB2}} in 2019. The Monster Wrangler designation officially replaced the older [[Monster Master]] in ''Tact'', and the term was given wider exposure to English fans through {{DQM3}} in 2023, with the adolescent {{Psaro C}} being forced to take up the vocation due to the curse placed upon him by his father [[Randolfo]].

==={{DQTact}}===
The {{Hero 5}} of {{DQ5}} was given the title of "Legendary Monster Wrangler" for his appearance as a unit in ''Tact'', marking the first appearance of the term in English media.

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}}.

===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 Errant#Knight Aberrant|Axe knight]] appearing in Episode 23.

==Trivia==
*The Dragonlord bears a striking resemblance to Maleficent of Disney's ''Sleeping Beauty'', with both wielding staves, donning flowing, high-collared robes, and possessing the ability to transform into large, purple dragons. 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 own 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]].

Heroman12: Radient or Radiant?

{{Spell Infobox
|title = Glow

}}
'''Glow''' is a spell originally found in {{DQ}} and its remakes, 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.

==={{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.

Heroman12:

'''My goal:''' Fix some grammatical errors I can find and add missing information based on my research.

'''My likes on video games:''' I play ''Mario'' games, ''Kirby'', ''Zelda'', ''Animal Crossing'', ''Pokemon'' (sometimes), ''EarthBound'', ''Pikmin'', ''Undertale'', and ''Dragon Quest''. Will try to play a ''Megaten'' game one day but I do heavy research about them.

'''To Do List:'''
# See the ''Dark Prince'' monster bestiary and check if there are missing links to references and try to name which of their old names debuted in a previous game system.
# Check the different pages of DQ II, III, IV (if there are updates), V, and VI if there are monsters or special characters there then try to link them in the monster or character's respective pages. The rest of the main series may be done later.
# Add more info on Chateau de Sass.
# Add info on the origin of the given monster names for the recruitable ones of DQ V.
# Add info on the DQ III's monster drops since the info of the drops of certain monsters are not complete.
# Add the missing recruitable monsters in the monster recruitment page, namely on those who debuted in DQ VIII 3DS. Also add them in the template of VIII.
# Add link and category of the rare monsters found in this wiki.
# Name the game or console that an area, item, equipment, character, and monster's name was used (like the old name of DQ I's Presditigator). Focus from DQ I to VI first, for other games prioritize on the monsters' name (use the monster family page).
# Add more info on the horse and monster riding page. Use this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfESsXm-I9U&list=LL&index=881) for more monster info.
# Try to find the named monsters and add them to the main monster page. Focus on the recrutiable monster from DQ VIII, The Dark Prince, and mainline DQ games (plus the ''Builder'' and ''Heroes'' series if ever).
# Put artwork found in ''Torneko: Last Hope'' into the pages of characters and monsters.
# Read and put info and artwork of ''DQ Builders 1 and 2'' and also ''DQ Heroes 1 and 2''.

The '''Merman''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest III}}.

It is a monstrous fish man that menaces seafaring adventurers.

==Characteristics==
Mermen are nightmarish twists on old sailor tales of [[Mermaid|beautiful women]] living in the depths of the ocean. Though just as sentient as humans are, [[Aquatic family|mermen]] are ruthless savages who shred their sea-faring prey to bits with razor sharp claws. It has a tendency to make their opponents more vulnerable by casting '''[[Sap]]''' and/or '''[[Kasap]]'''.

The '''Tentacular''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest III}}.

It is an aggressive and powerful variant of the [[King squid]] inspired by the mythological Kraken.

==Characteristics==
Tentaculars are enormous [[Aquatic family|squids]] that have light orange bodies with purple tinges on their head and mantle, as well as the suckers on their many tentacles. They are among the most dangerous {{MFamilies}} that can be encountered out at sea, being capable of attacking up to three times in a single turn in their original appearance.

The Tentaculars faced in {{XI}} have grown to truly enormous proportions, matching those of their cousin [[Khalamari]], and are aided in battle by their left and right tentacles, which will attack individually and protect its main body. They are powerful enough to fling around ships with ease and unleash devastating attacks with their tentacles that can knock seafarers on their feet. The molluscs can now also breathe out both ice-cold breath and [[Sweet Breath]] as part of their offensive capabilities.

Reappearing from the start of Version 5 onwards, they are first seen in the Netherworld.
{{Stub}}

==={{DQ11}}===
During the {{Party 11}}'s first visit to [[Lonalulu]], they offer to help out the villagers by defeating a Tentacular that has been terrorizing the village. If the player talks to the cannon lady in [[Lonalulu]], she tells them that Tentaculars hate loud noises and offers to lend the {{Party 11}} her kanono cannon. The {{Party 11}} sails out to sea where they encounter the sailors from [[Lonalulu]], who try to warn them about the rampaging squid. [[Sylvando]] will fire the cannon at the Tentacular, which will cause it and its tentacles to be confused at the beginning of battle and reduces their {{Attack}} and {{Defence}}.

In the 2D modes of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and {{Definitive Edition}}, the Tentacular is instead aided by a pair of [[Squid kid]]s in battle and will call for help if they are defeated instead of regenerating its tentacles.

Tentacular

Heroman12 — Sun, 01 Dec 2024 18:14:43 GMT

Heroman12: Which game did the third old name come from?

The '''Tentacular''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest III}}.

It is an aggressive and powerful variant of the [[King squid]] inspired by the mythological Kraken.

==Characteristics==
Tentaculars are enormous [[Aquatic family|squids]] that have light orange bodies with purple tinges on their head and mantle, as well as the suckers on their many tentacles. They are among the most dangerous {{MFamilies}} that can be encountered out at sea, being capable of attacking up to three times in a single turn in their original appearance.

The Tentaculars faced in {{XI}} have grown to truly enormous proportions, matching those of their cousin [[Khalamari]], and are aided in battle by their left and right tentacles, which will attack individually and protect its main body. They are powerful enough to fling around ships with ease and unleash devastating attacks with their tentacles that can knock seafarers on their feet. The molluscs can now also breathe out both ice-cold breath and [[Sweet Breath]] as part of their offensive capabilities.

Reappearing from the start of Version 5 onwards, they are first seen in the Netherworld.
{{Stub}}

==={{DQ11}}===
During the {{Party 11}}'s first visit to [[Lonalulu]], they offer to help out the villagers by defeating a Tentacular that has been terrorizing the village. If the player talks to the cannon lady in [[Lonalulu]], she tells them that Tentaculars hate loud noises and offers to lend the {{Party 11}} her kanono cannon. The {{Party 11}} sails out to sea where they encounter the sailors from [[Lonalulu]], who try to warn them about the rampaging squid. [[Sylvando]] will fire the cannon at the Tentacular, which will cause it and its tentacles to be confused at the beginning of battle and reduces their {{Attack}} and {{Defence}}.

In the 2D modes of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and {{Definitive Edition}}, the Tentacular is instead aided by a pair of [[Squid kid]]s in battle and will call for help if they are defeated instead of regenerating its tentacles.

The '''Beakon''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest III}}. They are flightless bird monsters with long, spindly legs and large beaks.

==Characteristics==
Beakons are large, flightless [[Bird family|birds]] with long legs growing from their heads. They have the heads of birds of prey, with mostly brown feathers and black around their eyes and large, sharp beaks. The beakons often have the ability to attack twice per turn, in some games having the ability to perform loud squawks that intimidate their opponents or can call for more of their kind.

Beakons appeared from the beginning of the game. When they become [[enraged]], they are able to perform a [[Jump Strike]] and will flee when threatened. Starting with Version 5.0, vicious beakons can be encountered in the Netherworld, as well. They can still perform a jumping attack and no longer flee.

==={{DQRivals}}===
Beakon appeared in the standard card pack as a normal rarity card common to all leader characters.

==Trivia==
* All three Beakon types are exaggerated parodies of the [[Wikipedia:Phorusrhacidae|Phorusrhacidae]] family of flightless birds. More commonly known as terror birds, these walking hatchets possessed enormous beaks and existed as apex predators in the plains of South America roughly 2 million years ago in the Cenozoic era.
* The beakon's English name is a play on "beak" and "beacon". Its Japanese name, ''ōkuchibashi'', literally means "large beak" or "giant beak".

Bones of Baramos

{{Monster Infobox
|title=Bones of Baramos
|image=[[File:DQMTW3D Bones of Baramos.png]]

|firstappear={{DQ3}}
}}

The '''Bones of Baramos''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} that was first introduced in {{Dragon Quest III}}.

A literal shell of his former self, [[Baramos]]'s rotten corpse is reanimated by [[Zoma]]'s sorcery to delay the {{Hero 3}} and {{Party 3}}'s advance. It has gone on to appear as both a boss and a recruitable monster in other games.

==Characteristics==
In its original appearance and most games, the Bones of Baramos is merely a different colour scheme of [[Skelegon]].
Although their designs differ in two principal reasons: the colour of the bones and the colour of the eyes.
The colour of the bones is a deep shade of purple (since purple is the color of death in Japan) and the colour of the pupils of the eyes are white, instead of blue.

However, in ''Emblem of Roto'', {{DQM3D}}, and in ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters 2: Iru and Luca's Marvelous Mysterious Key|Iru and Luca's Marvelous Mysterious Key]]'' his design is completely different: instead of merely being the skeleton of [[Baramos]], it is now an actual zombie, reflecting the monster's Japanese name. This is proven by the fact that some flesh is still held into the bones and because this zombie still wears the cape that [[Baramos]] wore in life. The skin shown is a sickly shade of green, really zombie-like, the bones are still purple, but the eyes are a solid blue. The cape's colors are more darker and the cape itself has been torn in different sections.

''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road Victory|Monster Battle Road Victory]]'' features a completely different design, instead simply being another palette swap of Baramos himself with a purple body and robes in a different shade of purple.

====Strategy (HD-2D Remake, Draconian difficulty)====
Once again, this boss got a massive buff in the HD-2D Remake. 2-3 actions a turn, '''~300 HP''' regeneration, and [[Attack Attacker]] and [[Double Up]] too, which will delete even the bulkiest character in one hit despite having multiple layers of defense through of [[Kabuff]].

Bones of Baramos is [[Snooze]]-immune. Instead, your only real option is to kill it before it kills you, as long-term survival simply doesn't exist with how much Double Up does even though Kabuff stacks. Still, it's usually worth it to get 3-4 Kabuffs up, as they will let your party survive 1-2 more extra hits. If you have means to get extra evasion, use them. The boss' defense isn't 0 anymore; [[Sap]] works and is fairly reliable, so use it if relying on physical damage. Otherwise, spam as much [[Kazap]] and [[Kafrizz]] as you possibly can and hope the boss misses his attacks and doesn't use Double Up.

==={{DQ10}}===
Bones of Baramos began appearing in Version 1.5.4 of the game as a rare boss in the [[Magical Labyrinth]], as well as one of the so-called "Three Legendary Demons" along with the [[Soul of Baramos]] and [[King Hydra]].

This game featured both the {{MFamilies}}'s original design and the design introduced in ''Terry's Wonderland 3D'' as a separate {{MFamilies}}, the latter being known as "Corpse of Enmity Bones of Baramos" (怨恨の骸バラモスゾンビ, ''Enkon no Mukuro Baramosu Zonbi'') in order to differentiate the two. Both were SS-rank {{MFamilies}}s of the [[Undead family]].

==={{DQStars}}===
Bones of Baramos appears as a minor boss in the {{Dragon Quest III}} story events, as well as in Guided by [[Rubiss]] Light. In both cases it appears in the boss rush prior to facing [[Zoma]].

==={{DQTact}}===
Bones of Baramos appears as a S-rank {{MFamilies}} of the [[Undead family]] and appears as a boss during the original {{Dragon Quest III}} event, eventually appearing on its own banner during the second part of the Silver Week event alongside [[Skeleton swordsman (recurring)|Skeleton swordsman]]. It could eventually be scouted from any limited banner, as well. Bones of Baramos can be faced in Chapter 5, Episode 3: [[Baramos]]? of the ''Dragon Quest III'' event quests.

The '''Soul of Baramos''' is a monster that was first introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest III]]''. The soul of [[Zoma]]'s right-hand demon made manifest, this ghost will stand between the party and his master.

==Characterisctics==
The design of Soul of Baramos is merely a different color scheme of [[Baramos]]. However, instead of using a [[Baramonster|warm color scheme]], this monster is portrayed with a cool color scheme.

====Strategy (HD-2D Remake, Draconian difficulty)====
The initial fight at the [[Tower of Rubiss]] isn't that bad. Just make sure to run the full complement of 7 [[Asbestos Earrings]] to neuter [[Kafrizz]] and [[Inferno]], keep buffs up and clear out the [[Ashdemon]] support and he shouldn't be too much of a problem.

His rematch in the bottom of [[Zoma's Citadel]] is a different story. [[Blasto]] being a possibility as soon as the fight starts combined with 2-3 actions and [[Thwack]] throws reliability off the table, as [[Asbestos Earrings]] stacking won't save you now. However, unlike the older versions, he is ''not'' immune to [[Snooze]] this time around, with ~50% resistance like the [[King Hydra]]. Therefore, the strategy is still the same: have the [[Duplic Hat]] holder outspeed him with Snooze to deny him as many turns as possible. As long as the Duplic Hat holder isn't Thwacked or ejected by Blasto, the party should have little issue surviving the rest of the boss' moveset, and due to a lack of passive regeneration on the boss, the player shouldn't have much problem simply healing off any damage taken during the turns where the Soul of Baramos isn't asleep.

Monster Wrangler

Heroman12 — Sun, 01 Dec 2024 18:02:57 GMT

Heroman12:

[[File:DQX Monster_Wranglers.png|thumb|right|[[Dwarf]], human, and [[Ogre (race)|Ogre]] Wranglers in Dragon Quest X]]
The '''Monster Wrangler''' (まもの使い, ''Mamono Tsukai'') is a powerhouse [[vocation]] that relies brute strength in battle and makes up for its shortcoming by [[Monster recruitment|making allies of monsters defeated in battle]].

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3HD}}===
The Monster Wrangler was added to the third remake of the third game in the series in 2024, utilizing the design seen in ''X''. Their stats and equipment pool are unknown, but their abilities are based on those of monsters and they can supplement these by recruiting beasts found throughout the world.

The design of this vocation, specifically for the male variant, has been censored. The male Monster Wranglers now wear black shirts instead of being bare chested.

The Monster Wrangler wields [[Axes]], [[Claw Weapon Family|Claws]], [[Whips]] in battle, and possesses the exclusive skill tree of ''まものマスター''. This skill set focuses on:

The '''boss troll''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest III}}.

It is a powerful leader among trollkind, appearing as a boss in some games.

==Characteristics==
Great green [[Demon family|goons]] that love to smack and smash anything and everything with their clobbering clubs. Goofily garbed in garish dark magenta fluffy outfits, they're not to be underestimated in battle despite their foolish fashion sense. They often make deadly desperate attacks that can down an adventurer with their great spiked clubs. Sometimes they'll attempt to '''[[Shove]]''' a single enemy right out of battle and out of action.

In {{DQM3}} and in the [[Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake|HD-2D]] remake of ''Dragon Quest III'', boss troll's pink lips were changed into green lips, likely to avoid the resemblance of a blackface.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
A boss troll is acting as the [[King of Manoza|King]] of [[Manoza]] when the {{Hero 3}} and {{Party 3}} first arrives there. By using the [[Ra's Mirror]], the {{Hero 3}} is able to reveal the impostor and fight the boss troll.

A pair of boss trolls are faced at the end of the optional [[Troll Maze]] dungeon, preparing to cook the Chancellor of [[Argonia]], his wife, and their maid. The {{Party 8}} will interrupt them in the middle of their preparations and face them in battle. These boss trolls have nearly double the amount of {{HP}} as those faced in regular encounters, though it should not be a difficult encounter.

King Hydra

Heroman12 — Sun, 01 Dec 2024 17:52:10 GMT

Heroman12: I know this wiki does do guides sometimes, but maybe state it without using "yous"? But I won't fix that right now.

The '''King Hydra''' is the first of three {{MFamilies}}s the {{Hero 3}} and his {{Party 3}} fight before facing the Demon Lord [[Zoma]] in {{DQ3}}. It is an even stronger version of the [[Hydra]].

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The {{Hero 3}}'s father, [[Ortega]], is seen fighting the monster during the player's assault on [[Zoma]]'s domain, but is slain during a cutscene and dies in his child's arms.

====Strategy (HD-2D Remake, Draconian difficulty)====
King Hydra got a massive buff in the HD-RD Remake, with 2-3 actions a turn and both [[Sweet Breath]] and [[War Cry]] to ''reliably'' trap the party in an endless cycle of not having actions. However, he has a major weakness in only having 50% resistance to [[Snooze]].

The easiest way to handle him is just to Snooze-lock him with the [[Duplic Hat]]. As long as your caster outspeeds King Hydra (which is easily achieved using the [[Meteorite Bracer]]), then you have a 75% chance that one of the two Snooze casts will go off successfully, and regardless on whether or not King Hydra wakes up later that turn, he will still have lost all of his actions for the turn, allowing your other characters to focus on dealing damage without worrying about being disabled or killed. If 75% reliability isn't cutting it, a second, sufficiently fast, party member can also help by using the [[Fairy Flute]] on the King Hydra to bring reliability to 87.5%. On the off chance that King Hydra does in fact get an action, the chances that he will then use his one turn to completely turn the tables on you are still quite low. Thus, probabilistically speaking, your party will run King Hydra out of HP before he gets the chance to do anything seriously dangerous to your party, and if he does somehow ruin your run on the few turns where he isn't asleep, you may as well take the wipe and try again.

Heroman12:

'''My goal:''' Fix some grammatical errors I can find and add missing information based on my research.

'''My likes on video games:''' I play ''Mario'' games, ''Kirby'', ''Zelda'', ''Animal Crossing'', ''Pokemon'' (sometimes), ''EarthBound'', ''Pikmin'', ''Undertale'', and ''Dragon Quest''. Will try to play a ''Megaten'' game one day but I do heavy research about them.

'''To Do List:'''
# See the ''Dark Prince'' monster bestiary and check if there are missing links to references and try to name which of their old names debuted in a previous game system.
# Check the different pages of DQ II, III, IV (if there are updates), V, and VI if there are monsters or special characters there then try to link them in the monster or character's respective pages. The rest of the main series may be done later.
# Add more info on Chateau de Sass.
# Add info on the origin of the given monster names for the recruitable ones of DQ V.
# Add info on the DQ III's monster drops since the info of the drops of certain monsters are not complete.
# Add the missing recruitable monsters in the monster recruitment page, namely on those who debuted in DQ VIII 3DS. Also add them in the template of VIII.
# Add link and category of the rare monsters found in this wiki.
# Name the game or console that an area, item, equipment, character, and monster's name was used (like the old name of DQ I's Presditigator). Focus from DQ I to VI first, for other games prioritize on the monsters' name.
# Add more info on the horse and monster riding page. Use this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfESsXm-I9U&list=LL&index=881) for more monster info.
# Try to find the named monsters and add them to the main monster page. Focus on the recrutiable monster from DQ VIII, The Dark Prince, and mainline DQ games (plus the ''Builder'' and ''Heroes'' series if ever).
# Put artwork found in ''Torneko: Last Hope'' into the pages of characters and monsters.
# Read and put info and artwork of ''DQ Builders 1 and 2'' and also ''DQ Heroes 1 and 2''.

{{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.

==={{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 '''Ghost Ship''' is a roaming ghost [[ship]] in {{Dragon Quest III}}.

The [[ship]] went down many years prior to the events of the game while [[Eric]] was caught onboard, dooming it's crew to sail forever as they have not even realized they've died. Eric's ghost and his [[Locket of Love|locket]] can be found onboard, and obtaining his locket is essential to reuniting him with his lost lover [[Olivia]] to gain entrance to the [[List of shrines in Dragon Quest III#Olivia's Promontory|her promontory]].

==Appearances==

Finding the ship requires the use of the [[Boatman's Bone]]; without which, the ship will never appear to the {{Hero 3}}. It's always in the inland sea between [[Romaria]], [[Asham]] and [[Isis]].

'''Grimland''' is a land mass in the [[Overworld (Dragon Quest III)|overworld]] of {{DQ3}}. It is located north of [[Persistence]], and geographically corresponds to the country of Greenland. The only building on the entire landmass is a little house called the Hermitage<ref>Name given when [[Storeyteller]] is used in the [[Cell phone]] version</ref>.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
This isolated strip of permafrost is home to an old man who was given the [[Boatman's Bone]] by residents from the [[Pirates' Den]] a long while before the events of the game. Eventually, his island is visited by the {{Hero 3}}, to whom he informs an interest in the [[Mod Rod]]. The {{Hero 3}} exchanges the Staff and receives the bone in turn, with the hermit having a different appearance and slightly altered dialogue with each subsequent visit.

The topography of the green patch is now much more rocky, with blankets of snow spread thinly in a few sections.

Rimland

|caption =
|japanese= レイアムランド
|romanji= Reiamurando
|old=Liamland (NES and GBC) Leiamland (Andoid/iOS and Switch)
}}
'''Rimland''' is an island continent in the [[Overworld (Dragon Quest III)|overworld]] of {{Dragon Quest III}}.

Rimland is located south of [[Theddon]] and southeast of [[Lanson]], and is meant to represent Antarctica in the real world, although it is not of a relative size.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The shrine of Leiamland is the nest of the egg of [[Ramia]], guarded by twin girls who speak in unison and beseech the {{Hero 3}} to gather the [[Six Orbs]] to hatch the Everbird. The twins will also keep track of the number of orbs that have been gathered, but are unable give hints as to their locations.

Rimland is first alluded to by the prisoner in [[Theddon]], who tells the {{Hero 3}} to gather the orbs and travel to the southernmost continent.

====Remake changes====
In the {{GBC}} version, the spot that was occupied by [[Ramia]] will become a portal to the [[Ice Cave]], a second [[bonus dungeon]]. The entrance will become available after making a wish to [[Xenlon]].

====Treasure (remakes only)====
*[[Mini medal]]

====Nearby {{MFamilies}}s====
*[[Boreal serpent]]
*[[Firn fiend]]
*[[Hades' Condor]]
*[[Ursa minor]]

==={{DQ3HD}}===
Rimland remains mostly unchanged in the HD-2D version, though the shrine is now shown to be surrounded with monsters that have been frozen solid. Whether they have naturally succumbed to the sub-zero temperatures or if this is a product of holy protection for Ramia's nest is left to the player's imagination.

The prisoner of Theddon now specifically mentions Rimland by name when handing the [[green orb]] to the Hero.

==={{DQStars}}===
The shrine appears as a smaller structure resembling mushroom in the game, but otherwise serves the same purpose as in its original appearance. The twin maidens have been illustrated for the first time, wearing golden tiaras that curve upwards into twin prongs, golden gowns, and blue necklaces made of large spheres.

==Etymology==
*The Japanese name, ''Reiamurando'', is derived from [[wikipedia:Graham Land|Graham Land]], the British name for the largest peninsula on the Antarctic continent.
:*The localization name of ''Leiamland'' and it's predecessor are the result of the translation team not picking up on the geographic reference through the Japanese script's use of a homophone (--raham and reiam-- are pronounced the same), and as such [[wikipedia:Perception of English /r/ and /l/ by Japanese speakers|assumed the first letter should have been an L instead of an R]].

==Trivia==
*Rimland was never actually mentioned by name in the Android/iOS script, with fans only discovering the difference by looking at the files of the [[Cell phone]] version. Casting [[Storeyteller]] will reveal nothing when used in the shrine.
**Potentially as a result, the quest bearing its name in {{Tact}}'s "True Dragon Quest III" event is still referred to as "Liamland".
*Twins girls speaking in harmony and protecting a massive egg is an allusion to the Shobijin characters of the 1961 tokusatsu film ''[[wikipedia:Mothra (film)|Mothra]]'', with [[Ramia]]'s egg even bearing the same markings as the eponymous insect. [[Yuji Horii]] would also mention Mothra when spoken to in the developer's room ending of ''Chrono Trigger''.

In the {{GBC}} version, the spot that was occupied by [[Ramia]] will become a portal to the [[Ice Cave]], a second [[bonus dungeon]]. The entrance will become available after making a wish to [[Xenlon]].

====Treasure (remakes only)====
*[[Mini medal]]

====Nearby {{MFamilies}}s====
*[[Boreal serpent]]
*[[Firn fiend]]
*[[Hades' Condor]]
*[[Ursa minor]]

==={{DQ3HD}}===
Rimland remains mostly unchanged in the HD-2D version, though the shrine is now shown to be surrounded with monsters that have been frozen solid. Whether they have naturally succumbed to the sub-zero temperatures or if this is a product of holy protection for Ramia's nest is left to the player's imagination.

The prisoner of Theddon now specifically mentions Rimland by name when handing the [[green orb]] to the Hero.

==={{DQStars}}===
The shrine appears as a smaller structure resembling mushroom in the game, but otherwise serves the same purpose as in its original appearance. The twin maidens have been illustrated for the first time, wearing golden tiaras that curve upwards into twin prongs, golden gowns, and blue necklaces made of large spheres.

==Etymology==
*The Japanese name, ''Reiamurando'', is derived from [[wikipedia:Graham Land|Graham Land]], the British name for the largest peninsula on the Antarctic continent.
:*The localization name of ''Leiamland'' and it's predecessor are the result of the translation team not picking up on the geographic reference through the Japanese script's use of a homophone (--raham and reiam-- are pronounced the same), and as such [[wikipedia:Perception of English /r/ and /l/ by Japanese speakers|assumed the first letter should have been an L instead of an R]].

==Trivia==
*Rimland was never actually mentioned by name in the Android/iOS script, with fans only discovering the difference by looking at the files of the [[Cell phone]] version. Casting [[Storeyteller]] will reveal nothing when used in the shrine.
**Potentially as a result, the quest bearing its name in {{Tact}}'s "True Dragon Quest III" event is still referred to as "Liamland".
*Twins girls speaking in harmony and protecting a massive egg is an allusion to the Shobijin characters of the 1961 tokusatsu film ''[[wikipedia:Mothra (film)|Mothra]]'', with [[Ramia]]'s egg even bearing the same markings as the eponymous insect. [[Yuji Horii]] would also mention Mothra when spoken to in the developer's room ending of ''Chrono Trigger''.

Aliahan

{{LocationInfobox
|game= {{Dragon Quest III}}
|title=Aliahan
|type=Kingdom
|image=[[File:DQ III Android Aliahan.jpg|center|250px]]
|caption=
|japanese=アリアハン
|romaji=Ariahan
}}
'''Aliahan''' is a [[List of Kingdoms in Dragon Quest|kingdom]] found in {{DQ3}}.

Located on a small continent in the southeastern ocean, Aliahan is the land from which the {{Hero 3}} ventures forth into the wider world to save it from the fiend [[Baramos]]. It's kingdom includes the castle town of the same name near the southern bay, and the smaller town of [[Reeve]] in the northwest.

Interestingly, the continent serves as an excellent tutorial for new players to the series as it features a castle, two towns, [[Promontory Passage|two]] distinct [[Path of Promise|dungeons]], [[Dreamer's Tower|a tower]], and enemies that provide different types of threats.

==History==
[[Image:KingOfAliahanArt.png|right|thumb|170px|The [[King of Aliahan]]]]
It is said that Aliahan once ruled over the whole world several centuries ago, but war broke out and the country's territory was reduced to the island continent seen in the game. In modern times Aliahan maintains peaceful relations with other nations under its wise king, but the teleportal to the mainland was sealed off. The player must break the seal with the [[Wrecking ball]] to reach [[Romaria]] and begin the adventure in earnest.

As the birthplace of [[Ortega]], Aliahan has garnered a reputation as the home of heroes. The legacy of the incredible man has spread to nearly every corner of the world, and with it the reputation of Aliahan.

==Facilities==
===The Hero's home===
The {{Party 3}} can stay for free at the {{Hero 3}}'s home at the behest of their mother. This room and board lasts until the death of [[Baramos]].

===Patty's Party Planning Place===
[[Patty]] will give the player the ability to customize their party as they see fit at her [[Patty's Party Planning Place|bar]] in the northwestern section of the town. Pre-designed characters are ready for recruitment on the first floor, and further options can be requested on the second floor. Additionally, the bar is the location any victim of the [[Blasto]] spell is spirited away to.

===Medal king===
In the remakes of {{III}}, there is a shack at the bottom of the castle town's well where the medal king lives. He serves the same purpose as his contemporaries in other titles do, and his system uses the accumulation method of issuing rewards rather than using the medals as a currency to purchase items with.

===[[Vault]]===
In the {{NES}} version, the party had limited item slots due to hardware restraints and could store additional items here for a small fee upon retrieval. [[Gold]] could also be stored in 1,000 piece increments.

In the {{Super Famicom}} version onwards, the vault became only a [[Bank|gold bank]], since the item storage was no longer necessary with the addition of the [[bag]].

==Cameos==
==={{DQ11}}===
The {{Hero 11}} can visit Aliahan through the [[Echo Chamber]]. He is taken to a time just before the marriage of [[Ortega]] and his fiance, and sees that several villagers have gathered in the woman's house to prevent the union. As it turns out, this is the work of a monster that was trying to prevent a legendary hero from being born and the party makes quick work of the nuisance. Additionally, the {{Luminary}} can get a [[Personality]]-altering book from [[Ortega]]'s father, which can be used to alter [[Jessica Albert]]'s mind at [[Chateau Felix]].

==={{DQTact}}===
[[Majellan]] and [[Mindini]] find themselves in Aliahan at the end of Chapter 1, Episode 1 of the game's {{Dragon Quest III}} event. The duo encounter Patty, who is shocked to encounter friendly {{MFamilies}}s, but she warms up to them quickly and invites them to her pub. Afterwards, she encourages them to speak to the townspeople to find a way for them to return to Orchesterra.

==Trivia==
Although most regions in the world of {{Dragon Quest III}} mimic real world locations, the continent of Aliahan does not. Its position in the ocean would approximate Australia, but this is already occupied by [[Lanson]], and the shape of Aliahan's landmass does not resemble the continent as well as the former. Due to Aliahan's history as a world-encompassing empire that has since fallen, a closer comparison would be the [[wikipedia:Mu (lost continent)|lost continent of Mu]], which is said to have be a colossal landmass in the south Pacific ocean.

The '''Elysium bird''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest III}}.

This flying doctor capable of keeping its allies alive through [[Multiheal]]. It is irritatingly resistant to debilitating spells in each appearance, making it far from a bird of paradise.

The [[wikipedia:Elysium|Elysian Fields]] refer to the paradise of the ancient Greco-Roman hereafter. It was described by Homer as laying on the extreme western edge of the world.
*The Elysium bird's original Japanese name Gokurakuchō refers to the ''[[Wikipedia:Bird-of-paradise|Paradisaeidae]]'' family of birds, a group of birds found in eastern Australia and Papua New Guinea with brightly colored plumage. They are also known as birds-of-paradise.

A '''T'n'T ticket''', translated originally as '''Token''', is an item which first appeared in the {{SFC}} and {{GBC}} remakes of {{DQ3}}. They later appeared in the remade versions of {{DQ5}}, which is when the name "T'n'T Ticket" was first used.

The '''Boss troll''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest III}}.

It is a powerful leader among trollkind, appearing as a boss in some games.

==Characteristics==
Great green [[Demon family|goons]] that love to smack and smash anything and everything with their clobbering clubs. Goofily garbed in garish dark magenta fluffy outfits, they're not to be underestimated in battle despite their foolish fashion sense. They often make deadly desperate attacks that can down an adventurer with their great spiked clubs. Sometimes they'll attempt to '''[[Shove]]''' a single enemy right out of battle and out of action.

In {{DQM3}} and in the [[Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake|HD-2D]] remake of ''Dragon Quest III'', Boss troll's pink lips were changed into green lips, likely to avoid the resemblance of a blackface.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
A Boss troll is acting as the [[King of Manoza|King]] of [[Manoza]] when the {{Hero 3}} and {{Party 3}} first arrives there. By using the [[Ra's Mirror]], the {{Hero 3}} is able to reveal the impostor and fight the Boss troll.

A pair of Boss trolls are faced at the end of the optional [[Troll Maze]] dungeon, preparing to cook the Chancellor of [[Argonia]], his wife, and their maid. The {{Party 8}} will interrupt them in the middle of their preparations and face them in battle. These Boss trolls have nearly double the amount of {{HP}} as those faced in regular encounters, though it should not be a difficult encounter.

'''''Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake''''' is a full remake of ''[[Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation|Dragon Quest III]]''. It was originally announced as part of the 35th series anniversary celebration on May 27, 2021.

Unlike previous remakes of ''Dragon Quest III'', the HD-2D remake offers a modernized vision of the original title with additional scenarios, voice acting, [[Monster Master|new vocations]], and modern ''Dragon Quest'' series features such as battle tactics or faster battle settings. The graphics are completely redone in the "HD-2D" style popularized by previous Square Enix published games such as ''Octopath Traveler'' and ''Triangle Strategy''.

==New features==
===Scenario changes===
* New scenarios and characters supervised by [[Yuji Horii]].
* New story segments that features [[Ortega]], the heroes's father.
* The [[Monster Arena|monster arena]] has been totally revamped to allow players to enter their own recruited monsters instead of relying on the arena's stable.
* [[T'n'T board]]s added in the Super Famicom remake has been removed.
===Presentation===
* Re-imagined locations and HD-quality sprites.
* Certain areas have been slightly modified to account for the perspective changing from the classic top-down view to the pop up book style found in other HD2D titles.
* Orchestral soundtrack.
* Increased language support: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, European Spanish, and Latin American Spanish.
:*''Dragon Quest III'' had not yet been translated into most of these languages prior to this remake.
* Voice acting support: English and Japanese.
* Fully animated monsters.
* Faster battle settings, as seen in recent ''Dragon Quest'' titles like in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] release of [[Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King|''DQVIII'']] or in the international releases of [[Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age|''DQXI'']].
* The player can customize the party's appearance by eight options per vocation with four for each sex.
:* The new character [[Healizah]] can modify a character's appearance between the four options, along with his or her hair colour and voice upon reaching [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest III)|Alltrades Abbey]].
* Characters now speak in battle: shouting while attacking, yelling the names of spells while casting, grunting while being attacked, etc.
* The camera pulls back to reveal the party while the player is selecting actions for a turn.
:* Equipped weapons are visible during this period.
===Gameplay adjustments===
* New vocation: [[Monster Wrangler]].
* Stat modification: {{Resilience}} now determines base defence power instead of half of the {{Agility}} stat, with the new {{Stamina}} stat controlling HP growth as Resilience did in the previous versions of the game; Agility only influences turn order and evasion. {{Wisdom}} now determines the growth of spell power instead of each spell being fixed to a static range.
* New spells, such as [[Moreheal]], [[Zapple]], and [[Zin]].
* The inclusion of skills for melee vocations, such as [[Double-Edged Slash]], [[Mercurial Thrust]], [[Pressure Pointer]], and [[Cop Out]] <ref>Weekly Shonen Jump issue 32, 2024</ref>. The battle menu lists lists Spells and Abilities separately.
*{{Boomerangs}}s and [[Whip Weapon Family|whips]] can now land [[Critical Hit]]s, though less frequently than single-target weapons.
* The inclusion of additional monsters, such as the [[Frostburn|frostburn]], [[Dying fire|a new variant of it]], and [[Garboyle]], who originally was an unfightable monster in the game's SNES and Game Boy Color intro.
* Battle tactics, available for the first time in ''Dragon Quest III''.
* Three modes of difficulty: Dracky Quest (Easy), Dragon Quest (Normal), and Draconian Quest (Hard).

==Censorship controversy==
The game has been strongly criticized for the censorship of the female [[Gadabout]] and [[Warrior]]'s clothing prior to it's release, altering the classic designs to expose less skin in order to comply with the [https://www.cero.gr.jp/en/ Japanese CERO ratings board]. The ratings board has grown increasingly strict in it's regulations in the decades since the original release of the game in 1988, with the censorship being mandated in order for the remake to secure a rating of '''B''' and be legally sold to children. Fans noted the censorship of the [[boss troll]]'s lip colour in preview footage shown on June 18 2024, wherein the giant's lips were changed from pink to green and it's nose was altered to be significantly smaller, though the change in the color of the lips were already present in its appearance in ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince]]''.

The removal of gendered language during the character creation process has also been criticized. This was first revealed during June 2024 in the 32nd issue of Weekly Shonen Jump where the Hero and Heroine's full art was revealed, referring to the two as "looks A" and "looks B" despite the artwork clearly depicting the two as a man and woman respectively. Matching voice actors were cast for their battle dialogue as well, with [[Nobuyuki Hiyama]] and [[Yūko Minaguchi]] for the Japanese dub and Toby Laurence and Jenna Sharpe for the English dub. A trailer shown on August 27th would show this peculiarity extending to the party members as well, where their sex was replaced with "appearance A/B". The change was further criticized when it was revealed that the English script still uses proper terms when referring to characters in-dialogue, such as the appearance B [[Thief]] Samantha being referred to as a woman by Healizah when giving her a makeover, making the alteration totally pointless.

On September 28 during an interview with [https://www.youtube.com/live/FvdqTo3V6no?si=KRzSRJiX8w11LDSz Denfamico Gamer]'s NAZ CHRIS, the ongoing scandal over the censorship prompted her to ask Yuji Horii about the changes directly, specifically for the female Warrior. Horii revealed that the changes were due to the strict age ratings regulations, stating that even just showing too much skin would raise the game's rating and prevent the game from being sold as an all-ages product as Dragon Quest had been in the past. NAZ CHRIS replied by saying the game is simply a work of fiction for the players to immerse themselves into, to which Horii agreed and stated that he doesn't understand what the problem is either<ref>NAZ CHRIS: あとすごい話題になってた。そのコスチュームとか、当時とそのままなのかどうなのかみたいなのがありましたよね。また...
堀井: まあね、あのいろいろ規制もあってね。露出しすぎちゃいけないとかね
NAZ: あそこまあちょっとあんまり深掘りする気はないんですけど。いいのにだってフィクションだけど、その中にあ、主人公ってあなたが入って冒険するっていうことでいいじゃないと思うんですけど、違うんですかね？
堀井: なんなんですかね。よくわかんないですけどね。これについてはね
NAZ: ゲームだし、フィクションという自分の中のこうバーチャル体験でのあのノンフィクションだから、楽しくければいいのにっていうふうに思っちゃいますけどね。
堀井: あんまり露出するとね、年齢が上がっちゃうっていうね。
鳥嶋: まあまあね。
堀井: 全年齢じゃなくなってしまうっていうのが
鳥嶋: ルールがやっぱなんか各国違ったりするんでね。広くろうと思うと、一番厳しいところに合わせざるを得ないとか。でも,</ref>. Friend of the series and former editor in chief of Weekly Shonen Jump [[Kazuhiko Torishima]], who was also present for the interview, followed Horii's statement up by pointing out that ratings regulations vary greatly between different nations. Torishima strongly criticized the forced compliance to these regulations to conduct international business in American and the UK, going so far as to call them an "evil disguised as good", and pointed out that it is simply impossible for there to be content that offends no one due to everyone having different perspectives; Torishima asserts that so long as certain absolute taboos are not broken then creative freedom should be unfettered<ref>NAZ: 当時そんなこと思わなかったですね。
鳥嶋: コンプラっていう名のね。やっぱりね、ある種のね。なんだろうな、絶対神と言うべき善の名を借りた悪みたいのがあるよね。あの全員が不快感を覚えないなんてことはないわけだって、株不快はこういうことを覚えるどうこうでもいいわけよ。だって綺麗、汚いとかさ、善悪って人それぞれ感じ方があるわけじゃんで物事はやっぱり。根っこにあるのは、やっぱり絶対やっちゃいけないことだけ。いくつかそれをさえやらなきゃといいじゃないって、そういうのがないわけだから、やっぱりあの欧米英米の方から欧米の方から来てる？</ref>. Torishima drew comparisons between the narrow-mindedness of modern-day age regulations to the religious zealotry of the Puritanical mindset of the past, and highlighted the difficulties of selling Jump magazine in America as an example. The content that was deemed perfectly suitable for eight year old children in Japan was mandated to be marketed as strictly for teenagers and older in America or legal action would be applied<ref>鳥嶋:その宗教的な概念からくるその清教徒の考え方って、アメリカにあるじゃない？彼らのコンプラの考え方って本当ない。狭いうんでだから、向こうでコミックスだけに、全部その年齢で。あの, 区切ってやらなきゃいけない少年ジャンプの漫画だったらサーティーンアップ13歳以上じゃないと出せない。それは全部見てくれなきゃいけないで、それを訴訟が起きる。そのために保険も入らなきゃいけない。もうこんなね、バカな国とねやるの。</ref> Torishima declared that doing business with America was infuriating and even damaging to Japan itself by forcing the smaller nation to comply to such ridiculous laws, which Horii explained as being the reason for the removal of gendered language during the character creation process. Foreign meddling mandated the censoring of the words men and women and forced Horii to utilize the awkward workaround of appearance A/B, despite everything else in the game acknowledging the common sense differences between the two sexes. Horii wondered aloud who on Earth would ever complain about the use of such common words in the first place<ref>堀井: 主人公もね、男女選べるんだけど、男を女選ぶって書いていけないのねタイプ一タイプ二なのねねえそう男女誰が一体文句言うんだろうと思うんだよね。
鳥嶋: そうそうですね。
堀井: うん, わからない。</ref>.

The '''A3G15''' is the latest model in the [[killing machine]] production line, taking the series' infamous durability to new heights without sacrificing an ounce of killing efficiency.

According to its bestiary it ''X'', this robot was created by [[Dhuran]] as his training partner, was satisfied by its performance, and even gave the robot's name. This was referenced in ''The Dark Prince'' as well, though Dhuran was not explicitly named. In ''XI'', it is instead stated that the first batch of them were made when an ancient king wore a special suit of armour that was actually alive.

==Characteristics==
The '''Berserker''' appears as a crazed (or simply really, ''really'' happy) {{Humanoid}} wielding a hand axe and shield, as well as a full tunic and cape. The fact he appears fully clothed, even having a decorative circlet on, suggests a reasonably high level of intelligence. When Berserkers first appeared, they had a completely black head, but some modern appearances gave them a yellow head like the rest of their bodies.

The Berserker is a three-star member of the [[Demon family]] with a weight of 3. It naturally learns [[Sleep Attack|Sleep Hit]], [[Glance Kick]] and [[Tender Cut]]. Its in-game description reads "It's a warrior who had never felt fear while facing an enemy."

Headhunter

Heroman12: I noticed that the colors for these two were swapped for the Switch release. Is it from the actual game? Undo if yes.

The '''Headhunter''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest II}}. They are wild, leaping [[Humanoid family|humanoids]] that wield their weapons with reckless abandon.

==Description==
Headhunters are green humanoid monsters with wild blond hair and a set of jagged fangs lining their mouths. They wield small hatchets and shields and wear blue tunics and sandals with a purple cape. They also wear silver circlets around their head decorated with a blue gem. Headhunters attack wildly in combat, swinging their axes in quick succession to overwhelm their enemies. The headhunters did not carry shields with them until remake versions of ''II''. When they originally appeared, headhunters had a completely black head, but ''VIII'' introduced a design where the monsters have green heads like the rest of their bodies, possibly to avoid any unfortunate resemblance to real-world blackface. Their original design still makes in appearance in some modern games such as ''X'' and ''Stars''.

'''Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince''' (ドラゴンクエストモンスターズ3魔族の王子とエルフの旅 '' Doragon Kuesuto Monsutāzu 3 mazoku no ōji to erufu no tabi '', lit: "Dragon Quest Monsters 3: "Journey of the Prince of the Demon Clan and the Elf") is the seventh game in the {{DQMSeries}}. It was released on December 1, 2023 worldwide for the [[Nintendo Switch]].

It was later https://x.com/DragonQuest/status/1828752593331568819 announced in August 28, 2024 that ''The Dark Prince'' would be released for Steam and cell phones on September 11 of the same year. Those ports include the three DLC content packs in the base game, but online battling in those ports have been removed.

==Setting==
The game is set in [[Nadiria]], the underworld from {{Dragon Quest IV}} and {{V}}.

{{Psaro C}} is cursed and is unable to harm anything with monster blood. Now, he must become a {{Monster}} Wrangler to create an army for battle.

The hunt for high-ranked monsters takes Psaro through the ever-changing seasons of Nadiria and its unique environments, with rivers of bubbling lava, mysterious ancient ruins, and soaring towers of cake. Along the way, Psaro meets the kind-hearted elf, [[Rose]], who joins his adventure to seek out ever-stronger monsters.

The key to Psaro's success lies with synthesis: the ability to combine two monsters and create a stronger offspring. Each new creation brings Psaro one step closer to his goal of becoming the Master of Monsterkind.

==Gameplay==
Gameplay-wise, it follows the same basic setup as the {{3DS}} {{Monsters S}} games: players can freely explore the world's 3D environments and they can engage in turn-based fights with their teams of monsters. As in {{Joker 3}}, the battles are 4 vs 4.

As in previous Monsters games, the creatures have sizes, however in this game there are only two sizes: small (S) and large (L).

As usual in the series, players can acquire new monsters by either showing them a remarkable strength, or by combining two monsters.

==New features & system alterations==
*[[Monster synthesis]] has been greatly simplified, abolishing the rank combinations, monster polarity, and "+" values seen in earlier titles. Instead of the "+" value directly boosting a freshly created monster's stats, the 6 monsters that make up that beast's lineage, 2 parents and 4 grandparents, influence how quickly a particular stat will grow before reach it's preset total. This is based on the families of the component monsters, with the [[slime family]] affecting HP, agility, and wisdom, the [[dragon family]] for HP, MP, and attack, the [[nature family]] for defence, agility, and wisdom, the [[beast family]] for MP, defence, and agility, the [[material family]] for attack, defence, and wisdom, the [[demon family]] for MP attack, and defence, the [[undead family]] for HP, MP, and agility, and finally the [[??? family]] affects HP, attack, and wisdom. As such, if 4 of the 6 monsters that make up a newly synthesized monster's lineage belong to different families then the creation will enjoy accelerated growth in all stats before hitting the species' natural cap. If the levels of both parents are at 100 then the boosts detailed above will be as high as 20%.
:*Monster polarity had been abolished in {{DQMJ3}}, but this title is the first instance in which overseas players can experience the gameplay difference.

*Monster combinations are now centered around the appearances of the components and any shared themes or games of origin they may have, allowing players to make more educated guesses as to what combinations will result in. As a result, several tried and true combinations no longer yield the same results as in past games and experimentation is greatly encouraged.

*[[Monster scouting]] has been altered so that the wisdom stat of the monsters putting on a show of force is factored into the success rate, and not just the attack stat. This alteration was made so that even dedicated casters can impress wild monsters, with the higher of the two stats on a given monster being used for the calculation; if a monster has equal attack and wisdom then one is picked at random.
:*The player's chance to scout a monster of a particular Circle is also influenced by whether or not the boss of the area has been defeated.
:*A show of force no longer counts as a physical attack and is thus unaffected by [[Dazzle]], [[Sandstorm]], base dodge rates, etc. If members of the player's party are asleep, confused, or paralysed then they will not contribute to the show of force.

*[[Monster eggs]] have returned after an absence in {{DQMJ3}}, and are now found at fixed locations throughout the Circles of Nadiria. Several monsters can only be found by hatching these eggs.

*[[Monster sizes|Giant-sized monsters]] that take up three and four party slots have been removed, with there now only being single-slot and two-slot size ranges. Furthermore all monsters can be bred to be of either size, with the main differences being access to more actions per turn, an extra three traits, and maximum HP and HP being increased by 25%. The other stats are multiplied by a factor dependent on which Tactical-class trait they possess, being:
:*[[Tactical Trooper]] = 0.9
:*[[Tactical Commander]] = 0.8
:*[[Tactical Genius]] = 0.8
:*[[Tactical Titan]] = 0.7

*[[Sparkling monsters]] have been added to the game. These glimmering creatures have a 5% chance of appearing when a synthesis is performed and are noted by a special mark that appears on their icon, and enjoy having the upper limit of one of their stats raised by 100 points. Which stat is affected is chosen at random and cannot be influenced by the player.

*[[Frenzied state]]s have been introduced, based on the [[pep]] system of {{DQ11}}. These super-charged states have a random chance to activate each turn, which skyrockets when a fellow party member is in critical health. Becoming frenzied allows a monster to go further beyond their limits bay gaining an extra action per turn, all types of damage being powered up by 150%, and all damage received being cut in half. The effect lasts only a few turns and can be utilized by enemy monsters and bosses, but the resulting power surge is more than enough to turn the tide for the players on the back-heel.
:*As a result of the frenzied state's creation, the [[tension]] system that had been present since {{DQMJ2}} has been abolished.

*[[Seasons]] appear, changing the landscapes of Terrestria and Nadira greatly. Locations that are inaccessible in one season can be reached in another, the variety of monsters changes, and different items can be found scattered through the lands in different times of year.

*Modifications have been made to resistances so that the effects of "Crafty" accessories and "Ultra Crafty" traits will now override immunity. For example, [[Krystalinda]] has the [[Ultra Crafty Cracker]] trait that reduces a target's resistance to the Ice element by 50%; if she were to cast [[Kacrackle]] on a [[snowmangler]], which is immune to Ice, the power of the spell would only be cut in half. If she were to be equipped with an accessory that grants her the [[Crafty Cracker]] trait, the effect of the accessory would stack with her natural traits and the damage of her Kacrackle would only be reduced by 40%. This means that by paying attention to a monster's traits and accessories, even [[Metal slime family|metal slimes]] can be wiped out in a single shot.
:*The reverse is also true, with monsters that have natural immunity to an element or status ailment being able to take advantage of "Ward" accessories and "Ultra Ward" traits. For example, if the same snowmangler described above was granted the [[Ultra Crack Ward]] trait through one of several talents and the [[Crack Ward (Trait)|Crack Ward]] accessory trait, it would nullify the aforementioned Krystalinda's ability to override it's immunity to Ice and void the damage from her Kacrackle spell.

==Development==
Producer [[Kento Yokota]] met with [[Yuji Horii]] during the early planning phase of the title, and initial discussions regarding the game's plot centered on having [[Terry]] and [[Milly]] be the protagonists as a way to bring the series back to it's roots for the 25th anniversary. There were concerns that this approach would be somewhat limiting in where the story could go, and that it would not feel original. Yokota reflected on the rich story of ''Dragon Quest IV'' and initially considered using Solo as the protagonist, but reconsidered upon realizing that this would fundamentally be following the same premise as Terry starring in the original game. Instead, Yokota suggested using Psaro as the protagonist on the basis of the character's lasting popularity with fans and the shock value of playing as a central antagonist from a mainline game. Horii approved of this bold direction and agreed that this would be the premise of the 25th anniversary title, wanting the explore the history of a younger Psaro.

Careful consideration was given to the story and tone of ''The Dark Prince'' as it was decided to have the side-story tie directly into the events of ''Dragon Quest IV'', an unprecedented move within the series as the story of ''Terry's Wonderland'' took place several years prior to the events of ''Dragon Quest VI'' and featured no connecting characters aside from the young siblings. To this end scenario writer [[Jin Fujisawa]] was hired to write the game, who was a long-time contributor to the series and had personally written the additional sixth chapter of ''Dragon Quest IV'' first seen in the [[Sony PlayStation]] remake<ref>横田:はい、まずはシナリオの根幹にあるピサロが主人公というところだけを伝えて、藤澤 (仁) さん ( 『DQVII』や『DQVII』のシナリオ制作に関わり、『DQIV』ディレクター、『DQX』初代ディレクターを務めた) に作っていただきました。プレイステーション版の『DQIV』で追加されたシナリオを藤澤さんが書いているんですよ。だから「『DQIV』のシナリオのことは、僕が誰よりも覚えている」とおっしゃっていて。''ドラゴンクエストモンスターズ3 魔族の王子とエルフの旅 WORLD＆MONSTER DATABASE'' interview, ISBN：978-4-08-779813-5 </ref>. Fujisawa wrote the treatment and reviewed it with Horii, with particular care being given to how Solo and the other Chosen Ones would be presented within the game's narrative; Horii's concern was that players were not given the impression that the Chosen Ones were villainous even if they were opposed to Psaro.

Monster synthesis was also given a considerable amount of attention by Yokota and Horii, who viewed the system as the defining feature of the ''Monsters'' series <ref>横田:今回の開発にあたり、堀井さんとお話する中でやっぱり「DQM」シリーズで一番大事なのは配合だとおっしゃっていて。その配合がおもしろくなきゃダメだ、という気持ちを強く持って開発に挑みました。''ドラゴンクエストモンスターズ3 魔族の王子とエルフの旅 WORLD＆MONSTER DATABASE'' interview, ISBN：978-4-08-779813-5 </ref>. To this end it was decided it was time to shake up the traditional combinations for new mixtures. Ditching the tried and true formulas fosters a sense of discovery in players by finding new ways to create their favorite monsters, many of which are fun references to that beast's debut title; for example, [[Hargon]] is created by combining [[Atlas]], [[Belial]], [[Pazuzu]], and the [[Wrecktor]] instead of a [[Wight king (Dragon Quest V)|wight king]] and [[metal king slime]].

For the game's logo, it was decided to use black and pink as the main colours to reflect Psaro and Rose as the central characters<ref>横田: これまでとは違うイメージにしたいなということでピサロとロザリーのイメージカラーから、黒とピンクがかった赤にしています。これまで「ドラゴンクエスト」の文字部分が黒というのはなかったので、堀井さんになにか指摘されるかなって思っていたんですが、黒のロゴデザインのパターンを見て「これがよくない?」とおっしゃっていただいて! ''ドラゴンクエストモンスターズ3 魔族の王子とエルフの旅 WORLD＆MONSTER DATABASE'' interview, ISBN：978-4-08-779813-5 </ref>. Yokota was nervous to use this approach at first due to black never being used as one of the colours of the logo in any ''Dragon Quest'' title before, but Horii noted that the design left a strong impression which reflects the more serious nature of Psaro's story, as well as Rose's importance to him as his lover, and the concept art was quickly finalized.

{{translation|'''Amazon'''|おとこまさり|otoko masari}} is a [[personality]] in the ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' remakes, in ''[[Dragon Quest X]]'', and in ''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Parade]]''.

==Appearances==
===Main series===
====''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' remakes====
{{infobox personality DQIII
| image = [[File:Amazon stat chart DQIII.svg|alt=Amazon personality stat chart for Dragon Quest III]]

}}
In the ''Dragon Quest III'' remakes, amazon is a female-only personality that improves strength growth, but reduces agility, wisdom, and luck growth.

The [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|heroine]] cannot become an amazon at the start of the game. However, if the female heroine parties with the Pirate Captain in [[Pirates' Den]] and say "Yes" on living a life like her after defeating [[Baramos]], the heroine will have the amazon personality.

Other female party members have a chance to be an amazon when recruited as any class, depending on their stat bonuses.

{| class="listTable"
! scope="col" | Class / gender
! scope="col" | Stat bonuses for amazon (chance)

|-
| {{DQIII sprite|Merchant female Gadabout female Thief female}}
|
* Strength bonus highest, ≤10, resilience bonus second ({{fraction|2|5}})
|}

An existing character cannot become an amazon through items.

Sulkk

'''Sulkk''' (formerly '''DarkDraco''') is a boss in the game {{DQ7}}. Despite its stereotypically serpentine appearance, it is actually classified as an [[Undead family|zombie]] in the game's codding, making it vulnerable to [[Pearly Gates]] and [[Undead Undoer]].

==Synopsis==
Sulkk is the cause of the darkness over [[Nottagen]]. Ironically, because of the darkness, the [[Malign vine]] and its assault on the town was halted due the malign vine's need for photosynthesis. The dragon has little intelligence and is feral without monsters to control it.

==Strategy==
Sulkk hits with breath attacks so spells like Insulatle, skills like Woolly Blanket and armor that protects against elemental damage, ice in particular as it hits harder, is a must. The Gladiator's Undead Undoer is invaluable against Sulkk. If party members are hurting, use the Staff of Salvation to heal their wounds as it acts like Midheal in battle.
