The '''Mandrake Marauder''' is a monster that appears in ''[[Dragon Quest V]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''. In Japanese, what we call the "Mandrake Marauder" in English have two seperate names in V and IX, so the name "Mandrake Marauder" could therefore be said to describe two entirely different monsters.

Mandrake marauders are bipedal anthropomorphic [[Dragon family|dragon]] warriors with scales of a dark red hue, wielding a golden cutlass and shield and wearing golden armor. On its back, it has a pair of large wings with dark grey membranes. It has a pair of pair purple horns on top of its head and darker purple scales starting from the top of its head to the end of its tail. The straps on its headgear, shield, and breastplate are green. It is stronger than the [[Mandrake major]], but weaker than the [[Mandrake marshal]]. In battle, it is capable of performing violent slashing attacks with its sword and can call for more of its companions as backup. The marauders have yet to make a reappearance in the main series, but they have been a regular presence in spinoff games.


The one in IX, known in Japan as りゅう兵士 ''ryū-heishi'', has so far only appeared in ''Dragon Quest IX''. It has a light, somewhat pinkish red hue and wears armor with a light greyish color. It is stronger than the [[Mandrake major]], but weaker than the [[Mandrake marshal]] and [[Mandrake monarch]].
