The Hunter mech is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series.
Introduced in Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line, it is a weaker version of the Killing machine that often hints to the presence of Metal slimes being in the immediate area.
Characteristics
Hunter mechs are quadrupedal, one-eyed robots armed with a crossbow and sword. Their color scheme is two tones of gray with gold and purple accents. As the less-efficient model, hunter mechs are typically the weakest of the killing machine pallet swaps and tend to lack some of the stronger's qualities, such as high resistances and the ability to strike more than once per round. Metal hunters live up to their name and are only encountered in areas that also house the metal slime family, tipping players off to the fact that the experience point bonanzas are near by.
In its original appearance the Hunter mech did not have a sword and was missing a quiver to hold its crossbow bolts. This was changed in later installments.
