Ruin is composed of the many broken segments taken from a fortress of some kind, notably towers, pillars, and walls.

Ruin is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King, it is the crumbling remnants of a castle, reanimated and taking the shape of a monster with a large right arm.

Characteristics[edit]

Ruin is composed of the many broken segments taken from a fortress of some kind, notably towers, pillars, and walls. These pieces are crudely held together, some staying aloft from the body, to take the shape of a bulky upper-body with a head and a right arm. A left arm appears to be present but is incomplete. Think of a Ruin as a magmalice on a grand scale, just without the fire magic.

Massive and powerful, but also slow, Ruin acted as a boss in its first appearance and maintains the power of that position in its later appearance in the series.
