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

It is the same kind of fork-holding {{MFamilies}} as an [[imp]] except it has enough MP for a spell to use (usually [[Frizzle]]), and can breath out much colder air. They are said to be the juvenile forms of [[archdemon]]s according to their bestiary in most games. In {{Dragon Quest V}} it is the same color as an imp (which doesn't appear), but its typical color is green.

An {{NPC}} minidemon appears on the [[Phantom Ship]] and attacks when spoken to.  It respawns after the player returns to the area.

Despite being able to see the {{Hero 3}} and {{Party 3}} when they are in the form of a {{MFamilies}} ([[Mod Rod]] in the {{SFC}} or {{GBC}} version of {{III}}) or invisible, it will not attack.

Several {{NPC}} minidemons appear through the game.

One appears in [[Pharos Beacon]] prior to defeating [[tigergram]] his two [[Flamethrower]]s.  The minidemon declares it's intent to go after [[Torneko Taloon]] for attempting to stoptigergram and uses [[Zoom]] to pursue him, only to bump it's head on the ceiling.

Three minidemons appear in [[Zamoksva]] during {{DQ4 Chapter 5}} until the [[Balzack|boss]] is defeated. The one occupying the kitchen attacks the {{Hero 4}} and [[Chosen Ones|party]] if spoken to. It will not respawn after being defeated.

Several appear in [[Diabolic Hall]] and will attack if spoken two unless the {{Party 4}} assumes {{MFamilies}} form with the [[Mod Rod]].

One appears in the [[Mamon Mine|Mine]] of [[Mamon]] after a [[Estark|deady being]] is unearthed.  As with a [[weartiger]], both wander around aimlessly on B3F. Another minidemon appears in the scene after the party defeated Estark, telling [[Psaro]] that [[Rose]] has been kidnapped and leaves with him and his accompanying [[Restless armour|restless armour]].

Another minidemon appears in [[Zenithia]], this time as a friendly monster who will give the {{Party 4}} a [[Yggdrasil dew]] if spoken to, but will not give any more until the party's stock of Yggdrasil dew is gone.

{{spoiler|start}}
Once {{Psaro C}} is recruited in the {{Party 4}} during {{DQ4 Chapter 6}} two of the minidemons will refrain from attack the party as long as {{Psaro C}} is present.  The minidemon in the castle tower, however, does as it is loyal to [[Aamon]]
