The Iron maiden is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. It first appeared in Dragon Quest XI, but was later retroactively added to Dragon Quest X in the game's 5.1 update. Iron maidens are essentially a scaled-down variant of the boss Dora-in-Grey.

Characteristics[edit]

Iron maidens take the form of a beautiful doll with a red and black dress, long flowing blonde hair, and a large birdcage as their lower half, which is used to trap people inside. Being large dolls possessed by the ghosts of young girls, they seek to keep permanent playmates by trapping them in their cages after mesmerising them into submission. The caged character will be released immediately if the iron maiden is defeated. The dolls also have the ability to freeze their enemies with their icy cold breath. Owing to their exquisite craftsmanship, the iron maidens are not easily impressed and thus strongly resist being charmed themselves. In the Monsters series of games, the dolls are considered part of the Undead family due to their ghostly origins.

Appearances[edit]
