The hell gladiator is a recurring Undead monster in the Dragon Quest series that was introduced in Dragon Quest VI.

Characteristics[edit]

Four armed foul undead warriors that wield four weapons with worrying skill and success. Their many arms mean they can hack and slash and attack twice in a turn, dealing extra demonic damage with their violent slash skill. Their beastly breath fumes are also a force to be reckoned with as they can use Burning Breath to fully paralyze a person where they stand.
