'''Terry''' is a character in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as a playable {{Party 6}} member and boss in {{Dragon Quest VI}}.


'''Terry''' (テリー  ''Terii'') the blue swordsman is a character in ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'' who joins the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|hero]]'s party later in the game, and is also the main character of ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]''.
He is a brash, arrogant swordsman who is encountered several times throughout the story, beating the party to various goals and reaping the rewards for himself before joining the {{Hero 6}}'s party later in the game. As a child, Terry was the main character of {{DQM}}.


==Background==
==Appearance and personality==
{{spoiler|start}}
Terry wears a blue cap to cover his white hair, a blue tunic with matching gloves over a black undershirt, and white pants capped with black boots. The tunic is partially covered with a section of [[Leather armour]], and he carries a satchel at his side.
===Dragon Quest Monsters===
When Terry was very young. he witnessed his older sister [[Milly]] be abducted by a creature called [[Warubou]] to the distant kingdom of [[GreatLog]]. A few moments later, a similar creature known as [[Watabou]] appeared and took Terry to the kingdom of [[GreatTree]]. Terry only wanted to find his sister, but the king of GreatTree, convinced him to become a monster tamer and win the [[Starry Night Tournament]]. The king stated that if Terry were to win the tournament, he would be granted any wish he desired. Terry set off to recruit monsters and win the Tournament. After Terry's monsters become powerful enough, he enters the tournament, fighting against the monsters of the champion from [[GreatLog]], who happens to be his sister Milly. After winning the tournament, Terry and his sister are reunited.


===Dragon Quest VI===
Terry is the archetypal "lone wolf" in that he prefers to work alone and hates to depend on others. While he is not strictly anti-social, Terry is very condescending towards others and speaks in a terse manner. This bellicose attitude stems from his profound (and well hidden) loneliness, as shown in his [[Lucky Dip]] antics. That being said, he is still a good person at heart and is strongly implied to have saved several people from the jaws of monsters during his travels, most notably Donna the barmaid from [[Port Haven]].
Terry is a talented swordsman, traveling the world to find more powerful weapons and to prove his strength. He is first met by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|hero]] in the town of [[Arkbolt]] setting out to defeat the [[Lizzie|hacksaurus]] terrorizing [[Wayfarer's Pass|the cave north of town]]. Terry is able to reach the monster first and defeat it in battle. Later, he is met in the [[Everfrost Grotto]] where the [[Sword of Ramias]] is found. Terry decides to leave the sword for the hero though, since it is all rusty. Finally Terry must be defeated in battle before the [[Zenithia|Cloudsgate Citadel]] can reappear in the [[Phantom World]]. Once [[Dhuran]], the boss imprisoning [[Zenithia|Cloudsgate Citadel]] is defeated, Terry will join the hero's party.


Terry initially goes on his quest to become more powerful, because he was unable to protect his older sister [[Milly]] while growing up in [[Felonia]]. She was taken away when they were younger which prompted Terry to pursue his quest. Somewhere along the way, he lost sight of his true goal, and doesn't even recognize [[Milly]] as a member of the hero's party. Once Terry is defeated, he and [[Milly]] are reunited and reconcile.
As a child, Terry is much more kind and social. Throughout his journey in the [[GreatTree|Kingdom of GreatTree]], Terry is always willing to help those in need. Unlike his older counterpart, Terry is eager to and willing to make friends with his companions and rivals. In addition, Terry helps others out of kindness and compassion, rather than any thoughts of rewards and making a name for himself like his adult self would do.

{{spoiler|start}}Terry is a talented swordsman, traveling the world to find more powerful weapons and to prove his strength. He is first met by the {{Hero 6}}, in the town of [[Arkbolt]], setting out to defeat the [[Lizzie|hacksaurus]] terrorizing [[Wayfarer's Pass|the cave north of town]]. Terry is able to reach the [[Lizzie|monster]] first and defeat it in battle. Later, he is met in the [[Everfrost Grotto]] where the {{Sword of Ramias}} is found. Terry decides to leave the sword for the {{Hero 6}} though, since it is all rusty. Finally Terry must be defeated in battle before the [[Cloudsgate Citadel]] can reappear in the [[Upper World]]. Once [[Dhuran]], the boss imprisoning [[Cloudsgate Citadel]] is defeated, Terry will join the {{Hero 6}}'s {{Party 6}}.
 
Terry initially goes on his quest to become more powerful, because he was unable to protect his older sister [[Milly]] while growing up in [[Felonia]]. She was taken away by the king's men to be added to his "collection" when they were younger, and Terry was left critically injured after stabbing the chief assailant during the abduction. Clinging to life, Terry escaped [[Felonia]] and swore to become the world's most powerful swordsman to save his [[Milly|sister]]. As the years grew longer and the battles more intense, Terry lost sight of his original goal, and doesn't even recognize [[Milly]] when he first sees her. Once Terry is defeated, he and [[Milly]] are reunited and reconcile.
 
After the {{Party 6}} defeat the Demon Lord [[Mortamor]], Terry and [[Milly]] finally reunite with their parents back home in [[Felonia]]. Depending on whether the bonus dungeon was explored or not, Terry will either notice the [[Liquid Metal Mind]] vocation scroll or engage [[Nokturnus]] in a solo battle, the outcome of which is not known. Afterwards, Terry will join his [[Milly|sister]] and the rest of the gang in observing the birth of the [[Zenith Dragon]] through [[Madame Luca Luminista]]'s crystal ball.

====Remake changes====
*In the {{Super Famicom}} Version, Terry had a base {{fraction|1|16}} (6.25%) chance to dodge physical strikes before his {{Agility}} was factored in. This would stack with whatever evasive equipment or vocation benefits he possessed.
*In the cell phone version, Terry received +5 to his {{Strength}} and +38 to his {{Agility}} at level 33. This raises his Level 99 {{Strength}} and {{Agility}} to 335 and 288, respectively.

==={{DQM}}===
{{spoiler|start}}When Terry was very young, he witnessed his older sister [[Milly]] be abducted by a creature called [[Scruffy]] to the distant kingdom of [[GreatLog]]. A few moments later, a similar creature known as [[Fluffy]] appeared and took Terry to the kingdom of [[GreatTree]]. Terry only wanted to find his sister, but the king of GreatTree convinced him to become a monster tamer and win the [[Starry Night Tournament]]. The king stated that if Terry were to win the tournament, he would be granted any wish he desired. Terry then sets off to recruit monsters and explore the world. After Terry's {{MFamilies}}s become powerful enough, he enters the tournament and ends up fighting against the {{MFamilies}}s of the champion from [[GreatLog]], who happens to be his sister [[Milly]]. After winning the tournament, Terry and his [[Milly|sister]] are reunited.
Terry's adult counterpart, as seen in {{Dragon Quest VI}}, is encountered a few times inside the final rooms of the gates. Although his identity is not revealed until his last appearance, it is hinted at through cryptic remarks made by {{NPC}}s that this mysterious individual happens to look like younger Terry does. Like in {{Dragon Quest VI}}, adult Terry is looking for the strongest sword to become the most powerful swordsman in the world. When conversing with his younger self, adult Terry is condescending towards young Terry for his usage of monsters rather than fighting opponents directly. This attitude changes into respect in the Room of Reflection where young Terry defeats [[Dhuran]], a feat that adult Terry could not accomplish, releasing him from [[Dhuran]]'s control in the process.{{spoiler|end}}
==={{DQM2}}===
{{spoiler|start}}Some time after the Starry Night Tournament, Terry makes a visit to [[GreatLog]]. He can be encountered and battled in the arena after [[Cobi]] or [[Tara]] breeds with all the {{NPC}}s and collects 150 monster types. If defeated, Terry offers to breed with the playable character, thus making the game backwards compatible with the original ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]''. His team consists of [[Fluffy]], [[Dhuran]] and a [[Great dragon]].{{spoiler|end}}
==={{DQH}}===
{{quote|style=1|quote='''''I’m the world’s great swordsmen, pal. Underestimate me again and I’ll ‘try’ you clean in two.'''''|source=Terry, when dueling [[Velasco]]|bgcolor=F3DFC8}}
Terry appears in {{DQH}} as one of the 9 otherworldly characters, and the sole representative of VI. His appearance in this game takes place during his search for the world's strongest sword, sometime before he joins the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|Hero]] of his own title. The blue swordsman is first introduced in the city of Colissea, engaging in a duel against the main antagonist of the game, [[Velasco]], until the fight gets interrupted by the protagonists, which prompts the villain to retreat mid-battle.  Generally rude and standoffish, Terry does not attempt to get along with the other characters, and merely tags along due Velasco’s parting words of the main heroes being ‘destined to save the world’ piquing his curiosity.
In game Terry is given the title of Solitary Swordsman, befitting his lone wolf status and gameplay design, allowing him to fight relatively well without needing support of other party members. While he shares the same weapon and some standard attacks as [[Luceus]] and [[Aurora]], Terry distinguishes himself from both by prioritizing high speed and powerful electric attacks, letting him exploit one of the few weaknesses machine monsters have without expending MP.

{{quote|style=1|quote='''''Running around with slimes, huh? Makes me feel like a kid again...'''''|source=Terry reminiscing in the quest Building Bridges 2|bgcolor=F3DFC8}}
Terry appears in Dragon Quest Heroes II as the first returning character from the previous game; and the third set of otherworldly characters the party encounters, alongside [[Carver]]. The Dynamic Duo is first encountered in the Wildwood, called upon by the [[Hacksaurus|king of the forest]] after the party knocked it unconscious in a confrontation. Believing the intrepid travelers to be mysterious humans that have been kidnapping the Wildwood monsters, the duo engage in battle with the protagonists, until Carver realized their mistake and calls off the fight. After learning they got transported to another world much like a few others, the two decide to join the party, believing that the journey the heroes on will lead to them discovering where the missing monsters disappeared to.
 
In game Terry is given the title of “The Storming Swordsman” and retains his weapon choice and fighting style from the previous game, albeit with a new combo move Brain Drain, and few new abilities to use like [[Double-Edged Slash]] and [[Mercurial Thrust]]. Additionally, due to the removal of the blocking stat, shields have been reworked to provide passive bonuses, effectively giving Terry a extra accessory slot.

==Etymology==
Terry is a name of Germanic origin, and means ''people's ruler''. It is derived from the older name ''Theodoric''.
 
==Trivia==
*Terry's design is based on the concept art for the {{Hero 6}}, who was initially designed to be shadier and more arrogant-looking than his predecessors. Terry's smug attitude is reflective of this initial design intent.
*Terry is the only character to speak with an American accent in {{Dragon Quest Heroes}}. This is owing to his voice actor being a native of Virginia before moving to the UK.
*Terry gets a color palette reference for one of the 8 costumes for the {{Hero Smash}} in {{SSB5}}. Said palette is given to the base of {{Hero 8}}.

"Whatever you do in life, make sure you're winning."

—Terry, in Haggleton (DS, Cell phone)

Terry is a character in the Dragon Quest series that appears as a playable party member and boss in Dragon Quest VI.

He is a brash, arrogant swordsman who is encountered several times throughout the story, beating the party to various goals and reaping the rewards for himself before joining the Hero's party later in the game. As a child, Terry was the main character of Dragon Quest Monsters.

Appearance and personality[edit]

Terry wears a blue cap to cover his white hair, a blue tunic with matching gloves over a black undershirt, and white pants capped with black boots. The tunic is partially covered with a section of Leather armour, and he carries a satchel at his side.

Terry is the archetypal "lone wolf" in that he prefers to work alone and hates to depend on others. While he is not strictly anti-social, Terry is very condescending towards others and speaks in a terse manner. This bellicose attitude stems from his profound (and well hidden) loneliness, as shown in his Lucky Dip antics. That being said, he is still a good person at heart and is strongly implied to have saved several people from the jaws of monsters during his travels, most notably Donna the barmaid from Port Haven.

As a child, Terry is much more kind and social. Throughout his journey in the Kingdom of GreatTree, Terry is always willing to help those in need. Unlike his older counterpart, Terry is eager to and willing to make friends with his companions and rivals. In addition, Terry helps others out of kindness and compassion, rather than any thoughts of rewards and making a name for himself like his adult self would do.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]

Warning: Spoilers!
Click expand to view content
Terry is a talented swordsman, traveling the world to find more powerful weapons and to prove his strength. He is first met by the Hero, in the town of Arkbolt, setting out to defeat the hacksaurus terrorizing the cave north of town. Terry is able to reach the monster first and defeat it in battle. Later, he is met in the Everfrost Grotto where the Sword of Ramias is found. Terry decides to leave the sword for the Hero though, since it is all rusty. Finally Terry must be defeated in battle before the Cloudsgate Citadel can reappear in the Upper World. Once Dhuran, the boss imprisoning Cloudsgate Citadel is defeated, Terry will join the Hero's party.

Terry initially goes on his quest to become more powerful, because he was unable to protect his older sister Milly while growing up in Felonia. She was taken away by the king's men to be added to his "collection" when they were younger, and Terry was left critically injured after stabbing the chief assailant during the abduction. Clinging to life, Terry escaped Felonia and swore to become the world's most powerful swordsman to save his sister. As the years grew longer and the battles more intense, Terry lost sight of his original goal, and doesn't even recognize Milly when he first sees her. Once Terry is defeated, he and Milly are reunited and reconcile.

After the party defeat the Demon Lord Mortamor, Terry and Milly finally reunite with their parents back home in Felonia. Depending on whether the bonus dungeon was explored or not, Terry will either notice the Liquid Metal Mind vocation scroll or engage Nokturnus in a solo battle, the outcome of which is not known. Afterwards, Terry will join his sister and the rest of the gang in observing the birth of the Zenith Dragon through Madame Luca Luminista's crystal ball.


Terry astonishes the party

Vocation and skills[edit]

In the Super Famicom version, Terry joins at level 23 as a Gladiator with only the abilities of a Warrior, and not a single rank of Martial Artist. In the DS remake, he joins at level 28 as a Gladiator with both Warrior and Martial Artist mastered.

In the Cell phone version, Terry joins at level 33 having mastered the Priest and Mage Vocation in addition to those listed above.

Lucky Dip antics[edit]

Terry notably has some of the most useful Lucky Dip actions in the game, potentially using Lightning Storm once he reaches rank 8.

Rank Antic
1 Terry puts his hair back in order!
2 Terry smiles suggestively!
3 Terry throws a coin into the air!

The coin lands right in Terry's palm!

Terry cracks a smile!

4 Terry begins singing to himself!

"Laaa la laaa..."

The enemy listens intensely to the song! The enemy is lost in Terry's sweet voice.

5 Terry stares into the distance, a conceited smile on his face. But it's just an act to cover his profound loneliness!

"Ugh!"

Terry's attack power increased!

Remake changes[edit]

  • In the Super Famicom Version, Terry had a base 1⁄16 (6.25%) chance to dodge physical strikes before his Agility was factored in. This would stack with whatever evasive equipment or vocation benefits he possessed.
  • In the cell phone version, Terry received +5 to his Strength and +38 to his Agility at level 33. This raises his Level 99 Strength and Agility to 335 and 288, respectively.

Dragon Quest Monsters[edit]

Warning: Spoilers!
Click expand to view content
When Terry was very young, he witnessed his older sister Milly be abducted by a creature called Scruffy to the distant kingdom of GreatLog. A few moments later, a similar creature known as Fluffy appeared and took Terry to the kingdom of GreatTree. Terry only wanted to find his sister, but the king of GreatTree convinced him to become a monster tamer and win the Starry Night Tournament. The king stated that if Terry were to win the tournament, he would be granted any wish he desired. Terry then sets off to recruit monsters and explore the world. After Terry's monsters become powerful enough, he enters the tournament and ends up fighting against the monsters of the champion from GreatLog, who happens to be his sister Milly. After winning the tournament, Terry and his sister are reunited.

Terry's adult counterpart, as seen in Dragon Quest VI, is encountered a few times inside the final rooms of the gates. Although his identity is not revealed until his last appearance, it is hinted at through cryptic remarks made by NPCs that this mysterious individual happens to look like younger Terry does. Like in Dragon Quest VI, adult Terry is looking for the strongest sword to become the most powerful swordsman in the world. When conversing with his younger self, adult Terry is condescending towards young Terry for his usage of monsters rather than fighting opponents directly. This attitude changes into respect in the Room of Reflection where young Terry defeats Dhuran, a feat that adult Terry could not accomplish, releasing him from Dhuran's control in the process.

Dragon Quest Monsters 2[edit]

Warning: Spoilers!
Click expand to view content
Some time after the Starry Night Tournament, Terry makes a visit to GreatLog. He can be encountered and battled in the arena after Cobi or Tara breeds with all the NPCs and collects 150 monster types. If defeated, Terry offers to breed with the playable character, thus making the game backwards compatible with the original Dragon Quest Monsters. His team consists of Fluffy, Dhuran and a Great dragon.

Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below[edit]

"I’m the world’s great swordsmen, pal. Underestimate me again and I’ll ‘try’ you clean in two."

—Terry, when dueling Velasco

Terry appears in Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below as one of the 9 otherworldly characters, and the sole representative of VI. His appearance in this game takes place during his search for the world's strongest sword, sometime before he joins the Hero of his own title. The blue swordsman is first introduced in the city of Colissea, engaging in a duel against the main antagonist of the game, Velasco, until the fight gets interrupted by the protagonists, which prompts the villain to retreat mid-battle. Generally rude and standoffish, Terry does not attempt to get along with the other characters, and merely tags along due Velasco’s parting words of the main heroes being ‘destined to save the world’ piquing his curiosity.

In game Terry is given the title of Solitary Swordsman, befitting his lone wolf status and gameplay design, allowing him to fight relatively well without needing support of other party members. While he shares the same weapon and some standard attacks as Luceus and Aurora, Terry distinguishes himself from both by prioritizing high speed and powerful electric attacks, letting him exploit one of the few weaknesses machine monsters have without expending MP.

Dragon Quest Heroes II: Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End[edit]

"Running around with slimes, huh? Makes me feel like a kid again..."

—Terry reminiscing in the quest Building Bridges 2

Terry appears in Dragon Quest Heroes II as the first returning character from the previous game; and the third set of otherworldly characters the party encounters, alongside Carver. The Dynamic Duo is first encountered in the Wildwood, called upon by the king of the forest after the party knocked it unconscious in a confrontation. Believing the intrepid travelers to be mysterious humans that have been kidnapping the Wildwood monsters, the duo engage in battle with the protagonists, until Carver realized their mistake and calls off the fight. After learning they got transported to another world much like a few others, the two decide to join the party, believing that the journey the heroes on will lead to them discovering where the missing monsters disappeared to.

In game Terry is given the title of “The Storming Swordsman” and retains his weapon choice and fighting style from the previous game, albeit with a new combo move Brain Drain, and few new abilities to use like Double-Edged Slash and Mercurial Thrust. Additionally, due to the removal of the blocking stat, shields have been reworked to provide passive bonuses, effectively giving Terry a extra accessory slot.

Etymology[edit]

Terry is a name of Germanic origin, and means people's ruler. It is derived from the older name Theodoric.

Trivia[edit]

  • Terry's design is based on the concept art for the Hero, who was initially designed to be shadier and more arrogant-looking than his predecessors. Terry's smug attitude is reflective of this initial design intent.
  • Terry is the only character to speak with an American accent in Dragon Quest Heroes. This is owing to his voice actor being a native of Virginia before moving to the UK.
  • Terry gets a color palette reference for one of the 8 costumes for the Hero in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Said palette is given to the base of Hero.
