#REDIRECT [[Axe Knight]]
'''''Mad Knight''''' ('''''Axe Knight''''', '''''MadKnight''''') is a recurring enemy in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in the original ''[[Dragon Quest]]'', it is a bulky knight-like monster.
 
==Characteristics==
Wearing heavy, bulky armor and equipped with an axe and shield, the Mad Knight is as impressive a physical force as its appearance lets on. In the original NES version of Dragon Quest it was armed only with an axe and faced to the right, likely to differentiate it some from related monsters.
 
The Mad Knight has been a boss in the majority of its appearances, a role it fills well. Likely to be encountered after players confront the [[Green Dragon|Dragon]], and lacking the music vulnerability of the [[Golem]], it can be considered the strongest boss in the original ''Dragon Quest'', ousted only by the obviously stronger final boss, the [[Dragonlord]].
 
==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest]]''===
The Mad Knight appears as an optional boss that can be encountered in the ruined town of Hauksness. While fighting it isn't necessary to beat the game, it certainly makes doing so easier since Erdrick's armor can be found near where the Mad Knight is fought.
 
===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]''===
A Mad Knight is the boss of a hidden gate, the last room of which is a recreation of the section of Hauksness the monster could be found in in the original ''Dragon Quest''. It is a strong opponent that can use the powerful, if not also at times self-destructive, Massacre skill and will desire to join the party after being defeated.
