| Title | Dread Fiend |
Gracos is a recurring monster and antagonist in the Dragon Quest series. He is typically depicted as an overweight merman-like monster wielding a pole-arm.
Characteristics
Gracos is likely a more powerful form of a Merman, as he shares many of his characteristics with this monster, particularly the placement of his fins. Gracos differs from this common monster by means of his greater girth, thicker lips, wristbands and weapon: a pole-arm with a crescent-shaped blade on the end.
Having first appeared as a boss monster, Gracos typically fulfills that same role in his other appearances and is powerful as such. He possesses great physical might and is adept at using magic and abilities as well.
In Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation, Gracos maintains the seal on Sorceria and defeating him enables access to the city. Gracos is the least competent of the Dread Fiends, sleeping on the job and unintentionally informing the party of his master's plans at the slightest inquiry.

Making his second appearance as a boss, Gracos is the one responsible for flooding Hamelia in the past and must be confronted in order to set things right.
Strategy
Gracos is a tough fight. He can attack twice in one round and hit the party very hard. He is immune to Sap and has a high resistance to Dazzle. Finally, he has a very high resistance to ice spells and skills so these should be avoided completely.
There is a small grace as Florin joins this fight. Even still, Gracos shouldn't be taken lightly. The Shepherd's Insulatle technique does wonders for this battle as well as Kabuff and Buff. Armor that protects against ice is a must. The Martial Artist's Wind Sickles should be used regularly as well as the Shepherd's Stampede attack and the Hybrid skill Sword Dance.
Do not rely on Jann to heal the party. If you are in need of healing, have Maribel Mayde use the Staff of salvation.

Appearing as a rank A member of the Demon family, Gracos also has a small role in the piracy side-quest of the game, being summoned as one of the many monsters the player must confront while tracking down Captain Crow. One possible synthesis for a Gracos is combining a Merman with an Archdemon.
