The '''Orochi''' is a many headed {{MFamilies}} found in {{DQ3}} and a servant of [[Baramos]]. In contrast to her bestial appearance, she is a cruely cunning snake capable of manipulating people to further its own ends.

The Orochi masquerades as [[Pimiko]]–the queen of [[Jipang]], and uses the disguise to create a despicable ruse: Pimiko has reached a compromise with "Orochi", agreeing that if the {{MFamilies}} is given sacrifices of young girls at regular intervals then she will not attack the village directly.

When the {{Hero 3}} and {{Party 3}} defeated the Orochi in her [[Orochi's Lair|lair]], she dropped the [[Orochi sword]] from her tail and retreats through a portal to [[Pimiko]]'s Palace in [[Jipang]]. Stepping through the portal, the player sees [[Pimiko]] severely wounded and being tended to by a panicking handmaiden. When it became clear that the Orochi was pretending to be [[Pimiko]], the monster telepathically spoke to the {{Hero 3}} and struck a bargain: keep quiet about her secret and allow her to continue gorging herself on maidens, and she will spare the lives of the {{Party 3}}.
One intended sacrifice along with her [[Jipangese swordsmith|husband who was a swordsmith]] fled managing to [[Great Pit of Giaga|escape]] [[Kol|somewhere]] together.  The sacrifice after that, [[Yayoi]] also went missing shortly before the {{Hero 3}} and {{Party 3}} arrived in Jipang.

Orochi is hemorrhaging considerably after the first battle and is in no position to threaten anyone: {{Hero 3}} and company battle the beast once more, slaying her and freeing the people of [[Jipang]].

Orochi is on her last legs in the second battle, only able to occasionally spew the intense flames that made her first battle difficult. Players need only apply [[Kabuff]] liberally and [[Sap]] her once to manhandle the {{MFamilies}} with impunity.

Orochi appears as an A-rank monster of the [[Dragon family]] and can be unlocked through collecting Orochi Marks from the Cave of Trials. She reprises her role in the {{Dragon Quest III€€ event, mistaking [[Mindini]] for a sacrifice and is fought by [[Majellan]] and the {{MFamilies}}s. After her defeat, she spits Mindini farther into [[Manoza]]. She is also fought in [[Armful]]'s Battle Road in Chapters 6 and 7, the former of which she attacks Armful for using a female [[Walking corpse]] as a human maiden and the latter for workout training after getting chubby from eating maidens. She helps Armful get back into [[Baramos]] (and indirectly) [[Zoma]]'s army after she is defeated the first time.
