Garboyle
"My my. It's been some time since one of your kind dared come here. Allow me to humbly suggest that you turn back if you value your life. I'm a stone-cold killer, as it happens. Heh. It's funny, your gormless face reminds me of this fool I once sent for a dip in the magma. You should've heard how he wailed in agony as he fell... Once you suffer the same fate, I'm sure Lord Baramos will reward me... just as he did back then. Well, I hope you like it hot!"

Garboyle is a monster based on the unnamed demon that fought against Ortega over the volcanic crater of Mt. Necrogond in the opening cutscene of the SFC remake of Dragon Quest III. It has since been given its own name and personality in the HD-2D remake, promoting it to boss status and chief of Baramos' minions. Its name is a portmanteau of the words gargoyle and boil.
While the monster's species was unclear in its appearance in older versions of Dragon Quest III, the HD-2D remake portrays Garboyle as a variant of the Arrghgoyle, a monster that debuted in Dragon Quest VI. The use of monsters from later games as bosses would be greatly expanded in Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake[edit]
Despite appearing after a prompt for the player to throw the Mountaincleaver away, the player will not actually lose the weapon until after Garboyle is defeated. As such, it is perfectly safe to have one of your party members use the weapon on Garboyle.
