Roseguardin (originally Saroknight) is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest IV as a boss monster, he is essentially a green restless armour charged with the task of protecting Rose.

Characteristics

Psaro hired or otherwise created him for the sole purpose of protecting Rose from anyone who managed to infiltrate the small fortress he built for her. The party must kill him to speak with Rose. Though just a palette swap of a regular knight enemy, he is significantly more powerful. Moreover, he uses the Sphere of Silence, which Maya and Meena lost after being defeated by the Marquis de Leon, to prevent the party from casting spells. On the bright side, they win it back after their victory over him.

Appearances
