Birds of terrordise (then HellHawk) make their first appearance, though it is not until around the end that they appear. They are incredibly powerful, boasting high stats and the most lethal of the fire breath attacks. The area accessible by use of the fire crest inside Orgodemir's castle houses birds of terrordise, and they are arguably one of the most powerful monsters faced in that dungeon.

They can be found in the Dark Palace and Zion Cave.

Dragon Quest IX

Grotto-only beasts that rear their flame-shaded heads in blazing grottoes.
