"My lifelong quest for style, elegance and distinction continues! Ahh, what fun... (glurp)"

—Kingsley (DS)

Kingsley (キングス, Kings) is a character and eligible party member in the Dragon Quest series that appears in Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation.

Appearance and personality

Kingsley is identical in appearance to his fellow gloopy monarchs. Ever concerned about his appearance and with a posh way of speaking, Kingsley has a snobbish attitude and does not hesitate to comment on the fashion sense of others. Nonetheless, he recognizes the party's stylishness once they surpass his expectations and offers his surprisingly capable combat skills.

In the Super Famicom version, Kingsley can be randomly recruited when a King slime is defeated in battle and one of the party members is a rank 5 Monster Master.

In the Nintendo DS remake and its mobile phone port, Kingsley can be found lounging around at Château de Sass's bar and will join the party once spoken to after having won seven levels of the style contest.
