| Title | Dread Fiend |
Dhuran is a demon boss first encountered in Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation, and is a recurring monster throughout the Dragon Quest series.
Characteristics
Dhuran resembles a well-built male humanoid with a reddish skintone. He wears a dark, simple, iron-like armor that doesn't cover much of its body. This attire is completed with an indigo cape. He also wields a double-bladed weapon. This weapon is similar to its armor and has a black handgrip and two sharp, dark blades in each extreme.
Despite being an enforcer of the Archfiend, Dhuran displays a noble attitude towards the Heroes. For the sake of a fair fight, he orders his henchmen to allow the Heroes to approach him unharmed. After they pass his tests and prove they are indeed worthy adversaries, Dhuran fully heals the party so that they would not start the battle against him in a weakened state (as opposed to his less ethical peers, namely Murdaw). After the heroes defeat Dhuran, he expresses gratitude that they have provided to him a noteworthy battle and harbors no resentment for besting him in combat. As a show of gratitude, he provides to the Heroes information about the Archfiend and the true nature of what they are up against. Overall, Dhuran seems to value the sport of battle above all else, and is able to set aside his evil nature for the sake of fair combat.
Story
Dhuran is one of the Dread Fiends, and is the fourth one encountered. It is the seal on Cloudsgate Citadel, having transformed it into its own flying castle.
