The Bad karmour is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation.
Characteristics
Deadly dark armoured allies of evil that dash into battle to beat at adventurers with their massive meaty blades. Unnaturally tall and beefy, the Bad karmour is also armed with a spooky skull embossed shield, making them an intimidating sight for any enemy to encounter. They can give their foes a good licking with the Lightning Slash skill, creating a sharp sparking circle with their baleful blades. These not-so-noble knights also frighten foes with Flame Slash, dealing fire damage. When wounded in battle they hold their hellish shields to the sky in order to restore health. When they first appeared, their suits of armor were colored dark indigo or black, but in modern depictions, the color changed to dark green.
