The '''riptide''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest VIII}}. It is a fierce, claw-wielding monster that hails from the seas.
 
==Characteristics==
Riptides are muscular monsters with pale green skin and green scales covering most of its body, wielding a sharp claw in each hand. The handguards on their claws and their helmets are made of green metal, as well. They wear black kilts with a leather belt around their waists, black boots with orange tips, and a cape of shaggy orange fur around their necks. The [[Aquatic family|seafaring]] warriors perform corkscrew attacks with their claws that rip into groups of enemies and they can infuse their slashes with lightning, as well. The riptides also have some skill with magic, being able to cast both instant death and healing spells.
