The Bone Baron (originally Master Necrodain, DeadNoble / Dead Noble in later translations due to display constraints) is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest IV, it is an undead aristocrat that rides atop an equine monster.

Characteristics

An aristocratic lancer atop a rabid steed is one way to describe a Bone Baron. Its coloring has a strong emphasis on blue in most of its appearances.

The rider and steed that compose the Bone Baron are both monsters but act as a single opponent in battle. The rider performs most of the attacking duties whilst the steed offers it greater mobility.

Appearances

Dragon Quest IV

First appearance as a random encounter in the latter portions of the game.

Dragon Quest VIII

Likely to be first encountered in the Dark Ruins, Bone Barons have the stamina typical of zombies and are strong attackers, making them enemies to be wary of.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker

Bone Barons appear as rank A members of the zombie family and are useful in obtaining monsters such as Roseguardin and Black Dragon. A Grim Rider and Dark Slime Knight synthesized together is one way to obtain a Bone Baron.
