Gracos

Gracos (sometimes romanized as Glacos or Grakos) is a recurring monster and antagonist in the Dragon Quest series. He is typically depicted as an obese merman-like monster wielding a pole-arm.

Characteristics

Gracos is possibly 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.

Appearances

Dragon Quest VI

Gracos marks his first appearance as one of the four demon lords that terrorize the world and must eventually be confronted by the party in order to progress the storyline.

Dragon Quest VII

Making his second appearance as a boss, Gracos is the one responsible for flooding the land in the past and must be confronted in order to set things right. Once the land reappears in the present, the party can go back to where they fought Gracos in order to fight his descendant, Gracos V.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker

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.
