Pruslas (Gigademon in the NES version) is a boss monster introduced in Dragon Quest IV.
Appearance and Personality
Pruslas is a large, purple-scaled, lizard-like demon wielding a large club. In more recent games, he has taken to wielding a large, red club in only one hand. This makes him differ slightly to the other types of monsters that look similar to him (such as Night clubbers and Balzack). Another thing that separates him from those monsters is his size. In the more recent Monsters games he is revealed to be quite a bit larger then the other two. He has piercing blue eyes, red claws, and tiny wings which somehow allow him to fly.
He is very devious and tricky, preferring to get the upper hand in battles by lying and cheating. His manipulative personality is quite helpful to Psaro, as unlike Aamon, he is very loyal.
Background
Dragon Quest IV
Pruslas appears as a a large lizard-like demon holding a huge club. He is one of the four demons found in the endgame maintaining the barrier around Psaro and his stronghold Castle Nadiria. He may the most devious of the four (with the possible exception of Aamon), and tells the Hero to "look behind you" for a treasure, allowing him to get a surprise attack if the hero does so. Pruslas casts Kasap to lower the party's defense, and issues high-power attacks with his club, which has a high chance for a Critical Hit.
