The Medal King is a recurring non-player character in the Dragon Quest series. He first appeared in Dragon Quest IV and has appeared in all subsequent main series games, as well as many side series games. Early on, he was simply referred to as the 'Medal King', or 'King who collects small medals'. However, in later games and remakes, each king is usually given a specific name.
Appearances[edit]
