Barbatos (vocation)
The Barbatos is an intermediate monster vocation available in Dragon Quest VII.
Description
Barbatos is a human-like demon with goat legs and horns, along with a pair of wings on its back, resembling a fatter version of the infamous Baphomet. It gives slight to moderate boosts in resilience, style and Max HP, and has the ability to learn a variety of spells.
Upon mastering the blasphemous vocation, characters will receive a weak resistance to Bang, Woosh, and Zap, as well as a strong resistance to fire breath and all status ailments. Mastering the vocation is required to become a Djinn genie.
