Equipped with almost every bit of paraphernalia one can think of being owned by a stereotypical [[Demon family|demon]], the monster bears wings, horns, a spiked tail, and a pitchfork. It wears a pair of green gloves and boots. With stats to match its bulky purple body, these monsters are usually a force to be reckoned with; capable of dealing heavy physical hits, but also casting advanced offensive magics to destroy its opponents. It has particular affinity for explosive magic, being commonly associated with the spell '''[[Kaboom]]'''. In many bestiaries where the Archdemon appears, it is stated that the [[Minidemon|Minidemons]] are the juvenile forms of Archdemons even though, with the exception of ''DQV'', their colors do not match up. The [[Imp]], however, has a purple color scheme, which is used by the Minidemon in ''DQV''.

Revision as of 17:33, 28 May 2024

The Archdemon is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series and was introduced in Dragon Quest II.

Characteristics

Equipped with almost every bit of paraphernalia one can think of being owned by a stereotypical demon, the monster bears wings, horns, a spiked tail, and a pitchfork. It wears a pair of green gloves and boots. With stats to match its bulky purple body, these monsters are usually a force to be reckoned with; capable of dealing heavy physical hits, but also casting advanced offensive magics to destroy its opponents. It has particular affinity for explosive magic, being commonly associated with the spell Kaboom. In many bestiaries where the Archdemon appears, it is stated that the Minidemons are the juvenile forms of Archdemons even though, with the exception of V, their colors do not match up. The Imp, however, has a purple color scheme, which is used by the Minidemon in V.
