The Orochi is a many headed monster found in Dragon Quest III. In contrast to her bestial appearance, she is a cruely cunning snake capable of manipulating people to further its own ends.

Characteristics

The design of Orochi is the one of an enormous dragon that is covered in green scales and has five heads instead of one. At the top of each head there are grey, purplish colored crests that stem from the front of the head to the base of the neck. In each limb there are four fingers that end up in white, sharp claws. It has red eyes with no pupils.

Appearences

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation

The Orochi masquerades as Pimiko–the queen of Jipang, and uses the disguise to create a despicable ruse: Pimiko has reached a compromise with "Orochi", agreeing that if the monster is given sacrifices of young girls at regular intervals then she will not attack the village directly.

When the Hero defeated the Orochi in her lair, she dropped the Orochi sword from her tail and retreats through a portal to Pimiko's Palace in Jipang. Stepping through the portal, the player sees Pimiko severely wounded and being tended to by a panicking handmaiden. When it became clear that the Orochi was pretending to be Pimiko, the monster telepathically spoke to the Hero and struck a bargain: keep quiet about her secret and allow her to continue gorging herself on maidens, and she will spare the lives of the party.

Orochi is hemorrhaging considerably after the first battle and is in no position to threaten anyone: Hero and company battle the beast once more, slaying her and freeing the people of Jipang.

Orochi is on her last legs in the second battle, only able to occasionally spew the intense flames that made her first battle difficult. Players need only apply kabuff liberally and sap her once to manhandle the monster with impunity.

Orochi appears as the boss of the 100 Pals Room Gate, its speech and surroundings an allusion to its appearance in Dragon Quest III. Once Terry defeats it in battle, it will go on a rampage due to its being upset about losing. Its massive build and weight causes the bit of land Terry is standing on to start to give way, putting him in danger. Just in time, a mysterious cloaked swordsman (who is actually Terry's future self) arrives on the scene and finishes Orochi off, saving Terry's life. This entire scene will only occur if Terry defeats Orochi before clearing the Gate of Reflection.

Trivia

  • Orochi's sex is confirmed in Dragon Quest III as female by NPC dialogue.
  • If the Hero does not chase Orochi through the portal upon her initial defeat (instead leaving the cave), she will be standing in the same spot later, forcing the palyer to battle her again. She does not drop the Orochi sword more than once, though.
  • The dreadful beast and the events surrounding Jipang and the arrival of the Hero are based on the Japanese legend of the Yamata no Orochi. Yamato no Orochi is an eight-headed and eight-tailed dragon who demands human sacrifices, and who is slain by the thunder god Susanō no Mikoto. The Orochi sword is likewise a reference to the Kusanagi, a sword found within the body of Orochi.
