The Shaman is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. These mid-ranking spellcasters are loyal servants to their demonic masters.

Description

The Shaman is a human fallen prey to the allure of evil. It usually wears a wicked white robe, emblazoned with the eerie bat insignia of Hargon on the front and a creepy purple cape. It wields a solid golden staff topped with a jewel when going to battle, used to help amplify their mental abilities and spell-slinging skills. As one might expect from the name, the Shaman is a magic user, casting low level fire spells and preventing opponents from casting their own magic. The shaman reappeared in 'Dragon Quest VII' after 13 years, wearing a dark pink cape, a red jewel on its cape, scepter, and forehead, red on the bat insignia in front of its robe, and a red and pink triangular-pattern on the ends of its sleeves.
