'''Atlas''' is a recurring character in the {{DQSeries}}. He is one of the [[Deities of Destruction]] in service of [[Hargon]] in most of his appearances, alongside [[Belial]] and [[Pazuzu]].
==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
'''Atlas''' is a giant orange [[Cyclops|cyclops]], wearing a blue toga and wielding a massive club. He is the first miniboss encountered in [[Hargon's Castle]], and is not particularly difficult as such. Like his lesser brethren, he relies on brutal physical hits to destroy his enemies.
Atlas is an orange [[cyclops]], wearing a blue toga and wielding a massive club, who towers over his lesser brethren. His exact size varies between titles, with some presenting him as "only" being twice as tall as a cyclopes or [[gigantes]], while ''[[Dragon Quest Builders 2]]'' shows him being the size of a kaiju. Befitting his design he is fairly simple-minded and values strength above all else, despising anyone he deems to be a weakling.

|name = Atlas
Atlas's character has been significantly fleshed out in the HD remake, with his personality being taken from how he is depicted in ''Dragon Quest Builders 2''. Like the other Deities of Destruction Atlas was the demonic overlord of a different dimension who was summoned into [[Alefgard]] by Hargon when the profane priest sacrificed the lives of wicked humans. Atlas is totally bound to the will of his summoner and cannot ever act against him, yet the big brute seemingly has no real issue with being pressed into Hargon's service so long as it means trampling the weak and helpless.
|image = [[image:Atlas DQII SNES.png]]
 
|game = Dragon Quest II
Though still comparatively simple when set beside Belial and Pazuzu, Atlas is nevertheless trusted with the important mission of gathering intel regarding the 5 sigils|five legendary sigils]]. To this end he dispatches [[Abra]], [[Cadabra]], & the [[Nekomancer]] to scout Alefgard for leads, and instructs [[Togrus Immensus]] to raid the [[Shrine of Rain]] to get information from the source. Atlas himself makes his presence known by ambushing the [[Scions of Erdrick]] in the halls of the [[Shrine of Rubiss]], stupefying the quartet with his size. He is then fought for a final time in the Hall of Hargon, and perishes in denial of being finished off by puny humans.

Defeating Atlas using the [[Zam]] spell is the objective of [[Template:DQIXQuest/117|Quest #117]].
{{spoiler|start}}
In this game, his speech before the battle is hinted that he is one of the ten {{MFamilies}}s that were created by [[Zenus]] remains, rather than a member of the Unholy Trinity (due to [[Corvus]]' attack): in fact he says "WHY YOU TURN INTO TREE!?", doubtlessly referring to [[Celestria]]'s transformation into a tree.
{{spoiler|end}}
==={{DQ10}}===
The real Atlas reappears in the game as the first coin boss, as well as the Strong [[Nelgel]] boss fight, being summoned with [[Pazuzu]] and [[Belial]]. While he once again does {{Desperate attack}}s, he can do a [[Seismic Shock]]. In addition, his Origin forme can be fought during the Breaking World sidestory.
==={{DQMJ}}===
An Atlas appears as a boss in [[Infern Isle]] near the end of the game.

Atlas is the ultimate antagonist of Chapter 3. He holds dominion of the island of [[Moonbrooke]] and is the top authority of the portion of the [[Children of Hargon]] on the island. He enjoys toying with the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders 2)|Builder]] and the people of [[Moonbrooke]] by waiting for them to become hopeful-by rebuilding Moonbrooke castle-before attacking. He is defeated by a massive canon built by the Builder with the help of the King of [[Moonbrooke]].
 
Additionally, a shadow fiend manifestation of Atlas appears in [[Hall of Hargon|Hargon's Castle]], reflecting his appearance in {{Dragon Quest II}} in the same location. Though he simply dissipates without putting up much of a fight. Of Hargon's top three, Atlas is the only one to appear in the story proper, [[Belial]]'s and [[Pazuzu]]'s shadow fiend vestiges are their only appearances in ''[[Dragon Quest Builders 2]]''.

==Trivia==
*Atlas is the only Deity of Destruction to not become a species of normal monster in the series, remaining a distinct individual in all of his appearances
*In ''Dragon Quest II HD'' none of Atlas' subordinates complain about his leadership, implying the brute is good at supervising those who meet his standards
