Pruslas is a boss monster introduced in Dragon Quest IV that has since become a recurring enemy species in the series.

Characteristics

Pruslas has piercing blue eyes, red claws, and tiny wings which somehow allow him to fly. He is a large, purple-scaled, lizard-like demon wielding a large club. In more recent games, he has taken to wielding a large, red club in only one hand to distinguish him to his pallet swaps, the Night clubbers and Balzack. Another thing that separates him from those monsters is his size. In the more recent Monsters games that feature size as a gameplay element, he is revealed to be gargantuan compared to the other two and stands shoulder to shoulder with the largest monsters in the series.

Pruslas is very devious and tricky, preferring to get the upper hand in battles by lying and cheating. His manipulative personality is quite helpful to Psaro, as unlike Aamon, he is very loyal.

Appearances

Dragon Quest IV

Pruslas appears as an obese brute holding a huge club. He is one of the four demons found in the endgame maintaining the barrier around Psaro and his stronghold of Castle Nadiria. He may the most devious of the four aside from Aamon, and attempts a cheap shot on the player by trying to convince the Hero to "look behind you" for a treasure, allowing him to get a surprise attack if the player obliges. Pruslas casts Kasap to lower the party's defense, and issues high-power attacks with his club, which has a high chance for a Critical Hit.
