'''Mt. Zugzwang''' is the final dungeon in ''[[Dragon Quest V]]''. Called '''Mt. Evil''' in fan translations. It is located in [[Nadiria]], it houses the mountain fortress of [[Grandmaster Nimzo]]. It is the site where [[Madalena]] is held captive, forced to pray for the gate to the human world to be opened wide enough for Nimzo. In the remakes, Nimzo's pawns have names of chess terms and pieces. Thus, in keeping with Nimzo's "chess names" theme, Mt. Evil was renamed Mt Zugzwang, a term used in chess.
