Diethon (DQVI)

Dragon Quest monster Diethon

Art by Akira Toriyama Japanese ヘルバイパー Romaji Hell Viper First appearance Dragon Quest VI Old localization None

Characteristics

The purple poisonous pouting Diethon lay in wait in eggs deep with caverns, just waiting to crack and start causing chaos with their threateningly toxic Venom Mist. The viper's teeth also drip with venom, meaning even a single bite can spell long lasting disaster.
