The Drohl diabolist is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, introduced in the original game. It is a more intelligent variant of the drohl drone capable of casting debilitating magic.

Characteristics

Drohl diabolists are unusual snail-like creatures that have their eyes placed in high eyestalks, a protective carapace that encompasses most of its body, and stubby limbs, their slack-jawed mouths located closed to the ground. When it first appeared, the drohl diabolist's body was coloured in various shades of grey and taupe, but when the monster reappeared in Monsters: Joker 2 after a 25 year hiatus, their carapaces were changed to a mossy green colour with beige undersides. The drohl diabolist retains its original grey colour scheme for its appearance in the Builders series. Like many classic monsters, it returned to the main series in XI. They attack by sending out their eyestalks to strike enemies and their magical knowledge is typically limited to simple debilitating or darkness magic. Despite their similarities to mollusks, the drohl diabolists are considered part of the Undead family.
