Magog (Originally Wynn and Yukinov) was a resident of the desert town Damdara in the Dragon Quest series.

He was mentioned but unseen in both Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation during the Erdrick trilogy until the remakes of III.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest[edit]

Magog ran Damdara's weapon shop prior to the town being destroyed by the Dragonlord. At some point he ended up in possession of Erdrick's Armour, which he kept hidden behind a tree in the shop which later was blocked by a Knight aberrant. His grandson in Cantlin relays this information to Erdrick's descendant.

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit]

Upon the Hero and party's arrival, the owner of the second weapon shop closed down to think of a name for his wife's yet to be born child. Once the party has defeated Zoma, the child has been born and his father has decided on the name Magog.

Localization[edit]

The character was originally named Wynn as shown when speaking to an NPC in Cantlin in the NES version of Dragon Quest. Despite being released on the same console by Enix, the name given at the end of Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation was Yukinov. The Game Boy Color ports of I & II and III kept the name as Yukinov, while the Cell phone port of Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation instead named the character Magog.

The character's Japanese name (and the "Yukinov" adaptation) is derived from Yukinobu Chida, a producer on the original Dragon Quest and many subsequent Dragon Quest series games.
