He stole the [[King's crown]] of the [[King of Romaria|King]] of [[Romaria]], and kidnapped [[Tanaya]] and [[Gopal Gupta]] from Baharata.

He calls himself the "Destroyer of all"; the people's suffering is his joy. The darkness that shrouds his body protects him from harm, but it can be stripped away using the [[Orb of Light]]. Using the Orb will change his on-screen color pattern; oddly, in the original version it changes him from full color to bluescale, but in the remakes it changes him from bluescale to full color. As seen in the manga [[Dai no Daibouken|Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken]], he is weak to [[healing spells]] such as [[HOIMI]] and [[MAHOIMI]]. He is the first boss to use the "freezing wave" attack technique to eliminate the party's defensive magics. <!-- At least, I think that's what it does; my memory is a bit hazy. --> [[Akira Toriyama]] drew a picture of Zoma after his armor is destroyed, but this picture is not used in the game.

For the first half of the story, he appears to be the final boss; but after he is defeated it is revealed that he is merely one of the followers of Zoma. In Zoma's castle are a color-cycled Baramos Bomus (Baramos Buros (バラモスブロス) in the original Japanese) and a zombified Baramos Gonus (Baramos Zombie (バラモスゾンビが) in the original). In the remake one also encounters a "Baramos Evil" (バラモスエビル) or "Zako Monster" (ザコモンスター) in the bonus dungeon.

* '''[[Kandar]]''' (カンダタ): He is the leader of a large group of bandits. He stole the golden crown of the king of Romaly, and kidnapped [[Tania]] and [[Galen]] from the Pepper House in Baharata. His original hideout is in [[Tower of Shanpane]], and he has another east of Baharata. In his second appearance, his color scheme is changed, and he is more powerful. After being defeated twice, he reformed, and re-encountered the hero in Tantegel. In one of the texts related to ''Dragon Quest II'', he is revealed as the founder of Delkondar. A character of the same name appears in the fifth game. The name "Kandar" (or "Kandata") comes from Ryūnosuke Akutagawa's novel, The Spider's Thread.
