'''Baramos''' (バラモス, ''Baramosu''), known as the '''Demon Lord''' and the '''Archfiend''' (魔王, ''Maou''), is one of the main villains of {{DQ3}}, and a recurring monster in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|series]]. He can be found in [[Baramos' Lair|his lair south of Isis]], ruling over a barren, impregnable land that can only be accessed from the air. 

==Characteristics==
Baramos and his forces menaced the world for an unknown number of years prior, which necessitated The Hero [[Ortega]] departing from [[Aliahan]] to slay him in the game's opening prologue Though the king of Aliahan states that the world at large is unaware of the fiend's activities, his very presence emboldens monsters the world over to assault human settlements.

Throughout the first half of ''III'' Baramos is believed to be the final boss, but this is a malicious facade; when [[Erdrick|The Hero]] defeats Baramos and returns to Aliahan triumphant, [[Zoma]] interrupts the celebrations to reveal Baramos was just an underling of his--an advance force to clear the way for his master. Having failed, Zoma announces that he will personally plunge the world into eternal darkness, causing The Hero to continue his quest.

Baramos will attack the party twice more in [[Zoma's Citadel]], both as a [[Soul of Baramos|ghost]] and a [[Bones of Baramos|shambling corpse]]. There is no dialogue prior or during these encounters, implying that Baramos is not truly "revived" and is forced into further servitude by Zoma's magic.  In the {{DQ3}} remakes, a common enemy in [[Cloudsgate Citadel (bonus dungeon)|Cloudsgate Citadel]] is a pallete-swap known as a [[Baramonster]]. Whether the baramonsters were in Zoma's employ is not certain.

In addition, in the SNES version, his attack pattern is fixed. He has two attack patterns, one if he has not been hit with [[StopSpell]], and another when he has. When Baramos gets hit by StopSpell, he instantly jumps to the first action in his StopSpell pattern. Furthermore, if he has not been hit with StopSpell and one or more party members have [[Bounce]] active, he will not cast spells into that party member; if he would otherwise cast Explodet (which would always get bounced) he will simply skip over it for the next action in his cycle.

StopSpell not active: Explodet -> Attack -> Scorching Breath -> Attack -> Blazemost -> Chaos -> Explodet -> Disperse -> Loop from start

StopSpell is active: Attack -> Disperse (fails due to StopSpell) -> Attack -> Scorching Breath -> Loop from start

Baramos appears as a [[Legacy Boss]], obtained after completing [[List of quests in Dragon Quest IX#Quest #061 - #062|Quest #062]]. He is the weakest of the Legacy bosses, but he is still very powerful and capable of casting Kafrizz and Kaboom and can also use fire breath and regular attacks (which are prone to inflicting critical hits). Ice attacks are his weakness, but he resists wind attacks.

Baramos returns as a boss battle in his castle, accessible from the last ''III'' chapter in the [[Echo Chamber]]. Due to the death of the [[Necrogondolier]] before the minion's revival ceremony could be completed, the fiend pulled himself back from the void by consuming souls and anguish.

Baramos appears as the boss of the [[List of teleportals in Dragon Quest Monsters | Gate of Mastermind]]. He then talks to you and makes a odd threat of eating your guts so you will never be brought back to life.

==Trivia==
*Baramos' design bears a slight similarity to the ''Dragon Ball'' character Piano, one of Demon King Piccolo's henchmen.
*Oddly, Baramos comes after his own ghost and corpse in the numerical list of monsters in ''III''.
