Characteristics

Massive metallic dual sword wielding monstrous living suits of armour, with a frightening demonic face that grins devilishly from inside the beast's stomach. Their demonic magic powers allow them to Buff their allies and their disgusting mouths can belch out great swathes of fire to fry foes with.

Appearances

The metal heavy (formerly StelDemon) is a monster in the game Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past. It can be found in the Cathedral of Blight.

Etymology

The Japanese name for this card, Kōtetsumajin, means "Steel Demon", giving rise to the old English name of the monster. However, majin sounds very similar to mashin, the Japanese transliteration of the English word "machine", and the term is often used with mechanical monsters in Dragon Quest like the [Überkilling machine] as a reference to its similar use in the Super Robot series Mazinger. As such, it is likely also a pun on "Steel Machine".
