'''Queen Ferz''' (originally '''Ramada''') is a giant purple cyclops boss, a master of hypnosis and a member of the [[Order of Zugzwang]] in ''[[Dragon Quest V]]''. She is encountered at [[Crocodilopolis]], posing as the Hero's mother, [[Madalena]].
'''Queen Ferz''' is a giant purple cyclops boss, a master of hypnosis and a member of the [[Order of Zugzwang]] in {{DQ5}}.


==Story==
She is encountered at [[Crocodilopolis]], posing as the {{Hero 5}}'s mother, [[Madalena]].
Queen Ferz is first encountered when [[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|the Hero]] and his team access Crocodilopolis, which happens to be the time of its completion. She is disguised as [[Madalena]] and appears to be giving a ceremonial speech to the slaves, who are all under mind-control, while also guarding the statue of the Hero's wife.


As Madalena, the queen will attempt to persuade the Hero to swear loyalty to the Order. The Hero must refuse to do so; otherwise he and his party will be [[curse|cursed]] before engaging the imposter in battle.
==Characteristics==
Queen Ferz is first seen when the {{Hero 5}} and his team begin the siege of Crocodilopolis, which happens to be near the time of its completion. She is disguised as [[Madalena]] and appears to be giving a ceremonial speech to the slaves, who are all under mind-control, while also guarding the statue of the Hero's wife.  


{{Enemy
Despite being a pallet-swap of dim monsters like [[Gigantes]] and [[Atlas]], Ferz is deceptively intelligent and cunning. Before engaging the Hero in battle, Ferz will give a convincing act as the Hero's mother. If the Hero fails to see through the ruse, this will enable Ferz to inflict a curse on the Hero's party, thus giving her an advantage in their battle. Another difference between her physical-based counterparts is that she has a great degree of magical capability, both in battle and for enthralling the minds of others: Ferz had the capability to single-handedly brainwash an entire legion of slaves. In addition, Ferz has enough magical capability to maintain [[Morph]] for an extended period.

Queen Ferz has the ability to hypnotize the minds of many slaves. However, the party is able to resist her control, making them a major threat. The imposter cyclops doesn't much HP compared to earlier bosses, and relies a lot on weak attacks. Queen Ferz, unlike many ''Dragon Quest'' bosses, cannot attack more than once per round.<br>

==Personality and traits==
==Etymology==
Despite being a pallet-swap of monsters like [[Gigantes]] and [[Atlas]], Ferz is deceptively intelligent and cunning. Before engaging the Hero in battle, Ferz will give a convincing act as the Hero's mother. If the Hero fails to see through the ruse, this will enable Ferz to inflict a curse on the Hero's party, thus giving her an advantage in their battle. Another difference between her physical-based counterparts is that she has a great degree of magical capability. Ferz had the ability to single-handedly brainwash an entire legion of slaves. In addition, Ferz has enough magical capabilities to transform herself into the spitting image of another individual.
Ferz (ферзь) is Russian for ''Queen'', referring to the chess piece rather than the aristocratic rank.


Unlike [[Bishop Ladja]], Ferz is fanatically loyal to [[King Korol]], referring to him as a God-King.
==Trivia==
*Ferz' sex is unknown, and the title of Queen is granted simply due to the chess-piece theme utilized by all members of the Order. It is assumed that Ferz is female due to the character's utilization of Madalena's identity and that Gigantes have no discernible sexual dimorphism.
*Additionally, Ferz is referred to as female in the official guide book published by Brady games. This was written under the supervision of Square Enix, and would likely not have been a consistent typo.
