The '''Grim Rider''', also known as the '''BoneRider''' is a recurring monster in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'' series]].
 
The '''grim rider''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest IV}}. It is an aristocratic skeletal lancer mounted on top of a feral steed.


==Description==
==Description==
The Grim Rider is an undead monster on horseback. As such, it is quite vulnerable to holy attacks.
The Grim rider is a [[Undead family|skeleton]] on horseback, wielding a lance and shield. The skeleton has the appearance of a fop, wearing a powdered wig on its head, topped by a wide-brimmed black hat with a white feather in it. It wears a fancy green cloak, salmon-colored bracers and boots, white leggings, and black gloves. Its mad steed is murky brown with a purple mane and tail.
