{{Localization}}
This is a list of characters in {{DQ4}}.

==Main Party Members==
*''See main article: [[Chosen Ones]]''

==Uncontrolled Party Members (Non-Playable Characters - {{NPC}}s)==
These characters join the party for portions of your quest, but cannot be controlled by the player or by a "Tactic" (though their Healing Spells can be used out of battle in the remakes). Nor can their equipment be upgraded, and they do not level up either. They leave once their purpose is completed, and in most cases cannot be re-recruited. However, they will often at some point travel to the [[Pioneer Town]] in the remake.
*[[Healie]], the [[Healslime]] (ホイミン, ホイミスライム): A healer (or heal slime) who desires to be [[human]]. He joins {{Ragnar}} in his search for the missing children during {{DQ4 Chapter 1}}. Later in the game, he begins to achieve his dream. His transformation is described in the novel. The {{PS1}} remake also adds Behoimin and Behoman, upper level [[Healslime]]s who will join the [[Pioneer Town]].
*[[Laurel]], the travelling poet (ロレンス, 旅の詩人). A mercenary who joins {{Torneko}} when he is looking for treasure during {{DQ4 Chapter 3}}.
*[[Hardie]], the bodyguard (スコット, 用心棒): Another mercenary hired by {{Torneko}} during {{DQ4 Chapter 3}}. He hates dogs, and will not join if Fido is still following {{Torneko}} around.
*[[Oojam]], the alchemist (オーリン, 錬金術師): A family friend of {{Maya}} and {{Meena}} who joins the sisters in their fight against their father's murderer during {{DQ4 Chapter 4}}. He is strong enough to break most locked doors with his bare hands.
*[[Hank Hoffman Jr.]], innkeeper's son (ホフマン, 宿屋の息子): The son of an innkeeper who lost faith in friendship when his partners betrayed him during a quest. He joins the party during {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}, and gives them the [[Wagon]].
*[[Tom Foolery]], the comedian (パノン, 旅芸人): The best comedian in the world. He is the star at Laissez Fayre after {{Maya}} leaves. He is needed during {{DQ4 Chapter 5}} to make the King of [[Canalot]] laugh. According to the novel, "Panon" is only a stage name.
*[[Orifiela]], the angel (ルーシア, 天空人): A citizen of [[Zenithia]] who fell from the sky and helps the party in {{DQ4 Chapter 5}} return to her home.
*[[Sparkie]], the baby dragon (ドラン, 竜の子ども): A baby {{Dragon}} from Zenithia who joins the battle against the Lord of the Underworld during {{DQ4 Chapter 5}} and remains with the party until [[Psaro the Manslayer]] is defeated.
{{spoiler|start}}
**In {{DQ4 Chapter 6}}, he leaves when the {{Party 4}} departs from [[Rosehill]] (with [[Rose]] among them).
{{spoiler|end}}

==Non-Combatant Party Members==
These characters join your {{Party 4}}, but do not take part in battles or have stats displayed.  Like the other {{NPC}}s, they leave after an objective has been accomplished.
*[[Angus and Aigneas|Aigneas]] (フレア): A woman who lives in [[Burland]]. Her husband Angus's whereabouts are unknown. She follows {{Ragnar}} to [[Strathbaile]] and helps restore her husband's memory using the ritual known as [[Puff-Puff]].
*[[Willy Wally]] (ププル): Son of the Strathbaile innkeeper. Kidnapped by [[Psaro's Pawn]], and taken to the lake tower.  He along with another kidnapped child follows {{Ragnar}} after the rescue until both are dropped off at [[Strathbaile]].
*[[Fido]]: After getting Finnegan out of the jail of [[Ballymoral]], his dog [[Fido]] can be recruited in order to deal with some foxes in [[Shinnock]].  Afterwards, {{Torneko}} can return him anytime and can't recruit [[Hardie]] (due to his fear of dogs) otherwise.
*[[Rose]] (ロザリー): An {{Elf}} who cries ruby tears. Therefore, many [[human]]s seek to kidnap her to become rich. But her tears shatter when caught in [[human]] hands. {{Psaro B}} sought to protect her, but [[Aamon]] had her assassinated in order to drive him mad.
{{spoiler|start}}
*In {{DQ4 Chapter 6}} (in the remake), the {{Party 4}}} obtain a [[Yggdrasil flower|flower]] of Yggdrasil, allowing her to be resurrected. She then accompanies the heroes (as a noncombatant) and persuades {{Psaro B}} to undo the effects of the [[Secret of Evolution]]. According to the remake, she was named after the town [[Rosehill]] by {{Psaro B}} protecting the town from [[human]]s.  She won't appear in the party in the overworld or certain other places, but remains with them until [[Aamon]] is defeated.
 
==Other characters==

In {{DQ4 Chapter 5}} she runs a [[Vault]] or [[Bank]]. In the remake, her son's name is {{Tipper}}.
*Archie O'Tect (Called da Gardi in the {{NES}} Version): Came to repair the bridge connecting [[Ballymoral]] to [[Endor]], but was distracted by the illusion of a pretty girl in [[Shinnock]], which was crafted by a fox.  After {{Torneko}} puts a stop to the fox's tricks, Archie returns to repairing the bridge.
*[[Regan]] (リック): Prince of Ballymoral. He is in love with {{Veronica 4}}, the Princess of [[Endor]], but his father seeks to invade that country. He asks [[Torneko Taloon]] to deliver a [[Prince's Letter|letter]] to her for him, and later marries her.

==={{DQ4 Chapter 4}}===
*[[Mahabala]] (エドガン): Father of {{Maya}} and {{Meena}}. He was a great alchemist, with two pupils, [[Oojam]] and [[Balzack]]. He discovered the [[Secret of Evolution]] which can change [[human]]s into {{MFamilies}}s; [[Balzack]] killed him and stole the secret for his own use. He never appears in the game except in flashbacks, although his grave can be found in [[Aubout du Monde]].
*[[Marquis de Léon]] (キングレオ王): The real king of the castle of [[Palais de Léon]]. It is said that he died, but in fact he has been imprisoned by his son, of the same name. He gives {{Maya}} and {{Meena}} an embarkation ticket and helps them escape from the prison. In {{DQ4 Chapter 5}} he has died.

==={{DQ4 Chapter 5}}===
*[[Eliza]] (シンシア): A childhood friend of the {{Hero 4}}. She is, along with all the townspeople, responsible to protect the growing hero. She takes on his form in order to distract the {{MFamilies}}s when they invade the village.

*[[Mary Lou]] (パトリシア): Hector's cartmare. She pulls the party's [[wagon]]. The novel states that she is the transformed state of [[Sparkie]], who was banished to the surface by the [[Master Dragon]]. But in the remake, Hoffman claims to have raised her since she was a pony.

*[[Zenith Dragon]] (マスタードラゴン): The ruler of [[Zenithia]], who will give the {{Hero 4}} the power to beat the true evil. He is yellow in the original game, but gray in [[Akira Toriyama]]'s package art and in the remake. He reappears in the other two games of the [[Zenithia trilogy]].

==[[Tournament of Endor|Endor Tournament Participants]]==
These are the fighters Tsarevna [[Alena]] faces at the end of {{DQ4 Chapter 2}}. In between each round, [[Alena]] is allowed to use a [[Medicinal herb]] to recover her health. She must face all 5 in a row at one time, otherwise she will need to start at the beginning.
*[[Attila the Hunk]]: First fighter in the tournament, who fights like a boxer.
*[[Quick Draw McGore]]: Second fighter in the tournament, who uses a {{Boomerang W}} in the {{NES}} Version, and [[Hunter's bow]] in the {{PS1}} Version and up.
*[[Prima Donna]]: Third fighter in the tournament, who casts magic.
*[[Samson Knight]]: The fourth fighter in the tournament, who is a very strong fighter.
*[[Abominable Showman]]: The fifth fighter in the tournament, who creates three shadows of himself. This is the last fighter [[Alena]] faces.
*[[Psaro the Manslayer]]: The current winner of the tournament, who ends up not showing up, thus forfeiting.

==Villains== 
*[[Psaro the Manslayer]] (ピサロ): The King of the Demons; final boss of the original game. He is sometimes called [[Psaro the Manslayer]] (デスピサロ); he hates [[human]]s, and plans to prevent the appearance of the {{Hero 4}}. His strength and ruthlessness are feared by [[human]]s, but revered by demons and by the inhabitants of [[Rosehill]]. When Rose was attacked by [[human]]s, he helped by living with her; but he left her there so that he could conquer the world. He sought to destroy all [[human]]s and resurrect the Lord of the Underworld to free the world for demons. After her death, he was driven insane, and used the [[Secret of Evolution]] to become a {{MFamilies}}, but the process destroyed his personality. The only thing he remembered was his desire to destroy [[human]]ity. He waits for the heroes at the top of the mountain, beyond the Castle of Death in Nadiria.
{{spoiler|start}}
*In {{DQ4 Chapter 6}} of the remake, the Secret of Evolution is undone by Rose's tears, and {{Psaro C}} becomes a companion of the protagonist (a full PC whose actions in battle can be controlled). His initial state is of course quite powerful; all his stats are high, and he knows powerful spells such as [[Lightning Storm]] and [[Magic Burst]]. Also, he can equip cursed equipment without penalty and without having his stats zeroed.
{{spoiler|end}}
*[[Aamon]], the Evil Priest (エビルプリースト): A High Priest with a wicked heart. He is the one who had [[Rose]] murdered. He is also one of the four demons who maintains the barrier on the [[Castle Nadiria|Castle]] in [[Nadiria]]. In the {{Famicom}} and ''CD Theater'' editions he is an otherwise faithful subordinate of {{Psaro B}}, but he says he had [[Rose]] murdered to force {{Psaro B}} to become the new King of Hell in the remakes. In the {{PlayStation}} remake, as in the novel, he secretly plans to replace {{Psaro B}} as the king of the demons.
{{spoiler|start}}
In {{DQ4 Chapter 6}}, he rules from the [[Diabolic Hall]], and has used the [[Secret of Evolution]] to make himself perfect; he is the true final boss. He must be fought using only {{Psaro B}} and three other {{Party 4}} members, since the [[Wagon]] cannot be brought into the palace.
{{spoiler|end}}
*[[Rashaverak]] (アンドレアル): A dragon demon; one of the four which keep up the barrier on [[Castle Nadiria]]. It is triplicated when it appears. It's/their death dialog indicates that it is loyal to {{Psaro B}}. They breathe superheated gases, and can call new allies when one is slain.
*[[Abullddon]] (ヘルバトラー): A bull demon; one of the four which keep up the barrier on [[Castle Nadiria]]. He casts [[Kaboom]] and breathes intense flames. He drops the [[Miracle sword]] when he dies.
*[[Pruslas]] (ギガデーモン): A large demon holding a massive club; one of the four demons which keep up the barrier on [[Castle Nadiria] ]. It is devious, and tells the {{Hero 4}} to "look behind you" so that it can get a surprise attack. It casts [[Kasap]] to lower the {{Party 4}}'s defense, and issues high-power attacks with its club. It often delivers [[Critical Hit]]s.
*[[Balzack]] (バルザック): Mahabala's disciple; he killed his teacher to steal the [[Secret of Evolution]], which he used to become a demon. He has taken over [[Palais de Léon]]. If he is injured he will heal himself fully with [[Fullheal]]. In {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}, he is more powerful ([['The Big Book of Beasts']] displays him as "Balzaack"; he is now a recolored [[Pruslas]]), and is occupying the Castle [[Zamoksva]]. He is very arrogant, and disliked even by his subordinate demons. His intention, he says, is to enhance his body to be even more Godlike than {{Psaro B}}'s; but he lacks the [[Armlet of Transmutation]] which allows him to use the full power of the [[Secret of Evolution]].
*[[Marquis de Léon]] (キングレオ): This being controls the castle, [[Palais de Léon]], in the form of a lion {{MFamilies}}. It is a palette swap of the [[Hellion]]. It originally used [[Balzack]] as a subordinate, but he gained further power and no longer needed its help. According to "The Unknown Legend", he is the prince of the castle, who used the [[Secret of Evolution]] to assume this form, and the remake depicts him accordingly. When the {{MFamilies}} is defeated in the remake, he returns to [[human]] form, and forgets his memories as a {{MFamilies}}. He must be fought twice, once each in the fourth and fifth chapters.  It is supposed to be impossible to defeat him in {{DQ4 Chapter 4}}; if he is defeated, the {{PS1}} Version will carry on as though the party lost, and the {{Famicom}}/{{NES}} version will repeat the battle. He moves twice per round, attacking, casting [[Sizz]] and breathing frost.
*[[Roseguardin]] (ピサロナイト): An armored demon guarding [[Rose]]. He has the [[Sphere of Silence]], which he uses to prevent the {{Party 4}} from using magic.
*[[Psaro's Pawn]] (ピサロの手先): An agent of {{Psaro B}} in [[Loch Tur]], northwest of the lake. He uses the [[Talaria]] to lure children from [[Strathbaile]], in the hopes of finding and killing the Legendary {{Hero 4}}. He casts [[Sizz]] and [[Frizz]], has unlimited {{MP}}, and is accompanied by a [[Winky]].
*[[Estark]] (エスターク): The Lord of the Underworld. He is sealed in a shrine underneath [[Mamon]], and bound into slumber. He used the [[Secret of Evolution]] to become the Ultimate Life Form. He holds a huge sword in each of his hands. He is not fully awake when the {{Party 4}} arrive, and is not at full power, but he can still emit a light from his body, which damages the {{Party 4}} heavily.
