:''For the monster class in [[Dragon Quest VII]], see [[Esterk (Class)]].''
'''Estark''' (originally '''Esturk''', '''Esterk''' in GBC translations) is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series and an antagonist in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''. Introduced in ''Dragon Quest IV'', he is generally viewed as the Lord of the Underworld and is often one of the most powerful beings in the games he appears in.

==Characteristics==
Estark is a large demon armed with two swords and has a body that looks more like an insect's exoskeleton than flesh. He has three eyes and a somewhat crazed, open-mouthed grin and is generally portrayed as being golden brown in color, though his original appearance had a cerulean blue color scheme.

Though folklore within the games usually state Estark as having caused troubles in the past, he is almost always asleep when encountered and must be awakened in order to fight. In some cases Estark has been asleep for so long that he can only remember his name and nothing else, not even if he is a good or evil being.

Estark is a powerful demon that can be considered worthy of being a final boss in some respects. In fact, Estark appears as a superboss in nearly all of his subsequent appearances.

He is the current Lord of the Underworld. A thousand years before the game begins, he used the [[Secret of Evolution]] to become the ultimate life-form, but was sealed into slumber and entombed under [[Mamon]] by the [[Zenith Dragon]].

Roughly three-quarters of the way through the game, the miners in Mamon accidentally uncover the tomb and awaken him, driving all [[demon]]s wild with the return of their lord. However, the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero of Dragon Quest IV]] acts quickly and leads his or her party into the catacombs to fight him. Estark is not fully awake yet and is thus much weaker than he would be otherwise - with his only resistances being 30% [[woosh]] and an immunity to [[crack]]. He has a 70% resistance to [[sap]] and [[snooze]], but due to the way the game is programmed [[Meena]]'s [[Kasnooze]] will put him to sleep 70% of the time.

Estark is a superboss that can be encountered in the post-completion dungeon players can find in Nadiria. As a superboss he is extremely powerful, much more than the main antagonist of the game [[Nimzo|Grandmaster Nimzo]]. Estark favors all out offensive attacks, pausing only to use Disruptive Wave. Having Multiheal or Omniheal is necessary to withstand the fierce barrage of attacks. He has no resistance to [[bang]], [[frizz]], or [[sizz]], but has a 20% resistance to [[crack]], 67% for [[woosh]], and complete immunity to [[zap]]. Tempting as it is to go all out with offensive magic, it's better to cut into him with [[Blizzard Blade]]s for extra damage. Furthermore, Estark also has a 33% chance to get hit with [[snooze]], [[fizzle]], and any stun technique. [[Kasnooze]]s unique programming will raise this probability, but be warned that Estark will awaken very quickly.

Upon first defeating him, Estark will allow the party to use his personal T'n'T board: "Stark Raving Mad." He is revealed to have a son called [[Starkers]], who will join the party if they manage complete the board. If the player can defeat Estark in 15 turns or less, they will receive the Catas Trophy knick-knack

While Estark (at the time Esterk) is a monster in this game, it is unlikely that it is the same Estark as depicted in other titles, especially since it is a normal monster (though its appearance bears a homage to both him and Psaro). Regardless, the Estarks that are fought are still very powerful and are also one of the monsters that players can assume the class of by mastering other monster classes or by obtaining an Estark's heart. They can be found in the [[Zion Cave]].

Estark makes his appearance in the 2015 3DS remake of DQ8, in a new area called the ''Corridor of Memories''. This ancient maze allows for players to rebattle bosses from earlier in the game, with much higher difficulty, gaining rewards with each victory. Once they reach the end, the player will find Estark taking his usual nap. Once the battle begins, it becomes apparent that this is the '''strongest''' he has ever been.

He possess a resistance to all offensive spells and skill elements, and complete immunity to all status afflictions save for [[Kasnooze|slumber]]. Needless to say, [[Omniheal]] is going to see a lot of use during the battle.

:''"Not only can he pound opponents with Kafrizzle and Kaboom, but he packs a powerful punch as well. Good luck! This emperor of the underworld evolved into his horrific form after hibernating for many millennia." - Dragon Quest IX bestiary''

Estark appears as a Legacy Boss, obtained after completing [[List of quests in Dragon Quest IX#Quest #151 - #152|Quest #152]] (or received at special events). He is similar to his superboss incarnation from ''Dragon Quest V'', and becomes [[enraged]] by anyone that inflicts a critical hit on him.

Estark is present as a rank X member of the Material family and the last member listed in that group. He is also the only rank X monster the player can obtain in the game outside of the Wildcard World Cup, though not until beating the game and the subsequent post-game challenge. Players can find him at rest within the sewers of Domus Isle once they obtain the key to get to him, a battle in order before he joins you. Amusingly, although awake when spoken to, Estark is sleeping at the start of the fight. He can be synthesized using a [[Psaro]] and [[Beetlebully]].

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2]]''===

==Trivia==
* Despite [[Starkers]] claiming to be his son, Estark cannot recall ever siring an heir by the time of DQV.
