The Tinpot Dictator was sent by the [[Demon Lord|Orgodemir]] to [[Faraday]] with an army of [[Automaton]]s to conquer and eradicate the populace. Before the [[party]] arrives, his army is overwhelming the Faradain army to the point where the king must hire mercenaries to stave off the invasion. Because of the Tinpot Dictator's invasion, the country is demoralized.

==Appearance==
====Strategy====
The Tinpot Dictator is humanoid in appearance. He is wrapped in chain mail and has a bucket-like helmet. He wields a flail in battle.
The Tinpot Dictator can summon automatons in battle, the player should ignore that and concentrate on the Dictator. {{Maribel}} should use [[Sap]] twice to remove his defense. If she has learned [[Heal]] as well, then she should be the designated healer. [[Kiefer]] should be using [[Flame Slash]] and if he has learned [[Focus Strength]], he should use that in conjunction with [[Flame Slash]]. The {{Hero 7}} and [[Ruff]] should use physical attacks. After the Tinpot Dictator is defeated, defeat all remaining automatons to win the battle. Make sure to save some [[Medicinal herb]]s and {{MP}} for the next fight because the party fights the [[Slaughtomaton]] after their victory.

==Etymology==
A ''tinpot dictator'' is a pejorative term referring to an absolute ruler that possesses poor leadership and/or organization skills. The term refers to the Victorian invention of the tin pot, an inexpensive metal disposable container that was the precursor to the tin can.


==Strategy==
==Related monsters==
The Tinpot Dictator can also summon automatons in battle. The player should ignore that and concentrate on the Dictator. [[Maribel]] should use Sap twice to remove its defense. If she has learned Heal as well, she should be designated Healer. [[Kiefer]] should be using FireSlash and if he has learned Psycheup, he should use that in conjunction with FireSlash. [[Hero (Dragon Quest VII)|The Hero]] and [[Ruff|Gabo]] should use physical attacks. After the Tinpot Dictator is defeated, defeat all remaining automatons to win the battle. Make sure to save some herbs and MP for the next fight because the party fights the [[Slaughtomaton]] after their victory.
