==Characteristics==
Legerdeman are [[Humanoid family|humanoid]] spellcasters that are slightly more capable [[Prestidigitator (Dragon Quest)|prestidigitator]]s, wearing all-encompassing maroon robes with hoods that obscure their faces except for their eyes. In their left hands, they carry tall bronze staves topped with crystal orbs. Compared to the lesser mages, legerdemans have gained the troublesome ability to put adventurers to sleep with a spell to go along with their fire magic. However, they are still vulnerable to having their spells sealed away, making them easier to dispatch.

===Etymology===
==={{DQTact}}===
Legerdemain is another word for sleight-of-hand. Druin appears to be a misspelling of druid, a member of an order of priests in ancient Gaul and Britain who appear in legends as prophets and sorcerers.  
Legerdeman appears as an A-rank monster of the [[Demon family]] during the second part of the limited ''Dragon Quest I'' event. It will join the party in the [[Rimuldar]] stage of Adventure in the DQ I World: Mindini and it can be fully awakened by repeating the stage at any difficulty. The legerdeman also stars in its own Battle Road.
