* '''[[Zoma]]''' (ゾーマ): The final boss of the game, he is the Great Devil that rules Alefgard, and has clouded it in darkness. He calls himself the "Destroyer of all"; the people's suffering is his joy. The darkness that shrouds his body protects him from harm, but it can be stripped away using the [[Orb of Light]]. Using the Orb will change his on-screen color pattern; oddly, in the original version it changes him from full color to bluescale, but in the remakes it changes him from bluescale to full color. As seen in the manga [[Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken]], he is weak to [[healing spells]] such as [[HOIMI]] and [[MAHOIMI]]. He is the first boss to use the "freezing wave" attack technique to eliminate the party's defensive magics. <!-- At least, I think that's what it does; my memory is a bit hazy. --> [[Akira Toriyama]] drew a picture of Zoma after his armor is destroyed, but this picture is not used in the game. | * '''[[Zoma]]''' (ゾーマ): The final boss of the game, he is the Great Devil that rules Alefgard, and has clouded it in darkness.

* '''[[Baramos]]''' (バラモス): The Devil that seeks to rule the world; he lives in his castle on the summit of Necrogond. He has the head of a pteranodon. For the first half of the story, he appears to be the final boss; but after he is defeated it is revealed that he is merely one of the followers of Zoma. In Zoma's castle are a color-cycled Baramos Bomus (Baramos Buros (バラモスブロス) in the original Japanese) and a zombified Baramos Gonus (Baramos Zombie (バラモスゾンビが) in the original). In the remake one also encounters a "Baramos Evil" (バラモスエビル) or "Zako Monster" (ザコモンスター) in the bonus dungeon. | * '''[[Baramos]]''' (バラモス): The Devil that seeks to rule the world; he lives in his castle on the summit of Necrogond.

He stole the golden crown of the king of Romaly, and kidnapped [[Tania]] and [[Galen]] from the Pepper House in Baharata. His original hideout is in [[Tower of Shanpane]], and he has another east of Baharata. In his second appearance, his color scheme is changed, and he is more powerful. After being defeated twice, he reformed, and re-encountered the hero in Tantegel. In one of the texts related to ''Dragon Quest II'', he is revealed as the founder of Delkondar. A character of the same name appears in the fifth game. The name "Kandar" (or "Kandata") comes from Ryūnosuke Akutagawa's novel, The Spider's Thread. | ||
* '''[[Orochi]]''' (やまたのおろち): A dragon-demon that hides in a cave under [[Jipang]]. [[wikipedia:Orochi|Orochi]] appears (with an "and" attached to its name) in the [[wikipedia:Chronicles of Japan|Chronicles of Japan]]. In the game, it is drawn to look like [[wikipedia:King Ghidorah|King Ghidorah]], but with five necks. It slew [[Himiko]] and took on her form, plaguing the residents of Jipang. <!-- Can't understand: GBC版では隠しダンジョンで雑魚モンスターとして出現するほか、「あやしいかげ」として出現することもある。 "GBC version of the Monster as the emergence of small fish hidden in a dungeon, "queer character behind" as the emergence of some." or "Besides the fact that in GBC edition it hides and it appears with Dungeon as a small fish monster, there are also times which as “are doubtful, or they appear a [ge]”" I guess something about it appearing in the Ice Caves in the GBC remake, so you can get her Monster Medal... --> | * '''[[Orochi]]''' (やまたのおろち): A dragon-demon that hides in a cave under [[Jipang]].

* [[Boss Troll]] (ボストロール): The true form of the tyrannical king of [[Samanao]]. He used the [[Staff of Change]] to imitate the real king, and imprisoned him in the castle dungeons. He rules the castle with an iron hand, confining visitors in the dungeons and executing the citizenry. In addition to his high attack power, in the remake he can use the [[RUKANAN]] spell to lower the party's defenses. He often delivers critical hits, so is a threat to party members with low HP. In the Famicom edition, it eventually appears as a wandering monster in Alefgard. In the Gameboy edition, it will appear in the second hidden dungeon. In the Superfamicom edition, it never appears except in Samanao. | * [[Boss Troll]] (ボストロール): The true form of the tyrannical king of [[Samanao]].
