Zoma first appears during the celebrations following the defeat of Baramos. In the original game's version of this scene, his presence is that of a booming voice only, but he takes a visual manifestation in all remakes. Zoma threatens the inhabitants of the world of ''Dragon Quest III'', claiming he will soon take control of their world and plunge it into darkness as he did with Alefgard. In ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]'', he resides deep inside the Room of Control, threatening Terry the same way he threatened the people in ''Dragon Quest III.''

Characteristics

Story

Near the end of the game, he is revealed to be the master of the archfiend Baramos, whom had been previously alluded to as the final boss to the game. Zoma resides in Charlock Castle in Alefgard, where he feeds on the fear and despair of the kingdom's inhabitants. Being an embodiment of evil, Zoma is weakened by bright light and harmed by all healing magic. Zoma resides on the basement floor of the castle along with three sub-bosses. He approaches and speaks to the hero prior to allowing his three subordinates to fight the hero's party before him.

Zoma first appears during the celebrations following the defeat of Baramos. In the original game's version of this scene, his presence is that of a booming voice only, but he takes a visual manifestation in all remakes. Zoma threatens the inhabitants of the world of Dragon Quest III, claiming he will soon take control of their world and plunge it into darkness as he did with Alefgard.

Remove his shield immediately; with it, Zoma is immune to everything you can throw at him. On top of this, he will regenerate 90~110 HP per round, minimizing any damage players can inflict between healing sessions.

Once the cloak of ice is removed, Zoma's defensive capabilities will plummet considerably: Sap, Zap, and all forms of fire will hit 100% of the time, and his regeneration will be nixed.Woosh spells have a 30% chance to connect, but a priest is better off casting heal spells to inflict damage when they aren't restoring the party.

Dragon Quest IX

"A truly intimidating opponent who can attack twice and use seriously strong spells. Lay into him with the power of light. His unparalleled evil made him very popular with monsters, but he left the lands above to escape his screaming fans." - Dragon Quest IX bestiary
