As aforementioned, the vast majority of his appearances Malroth has little discernible personality outside of his desire for destruction. The major exception to this is his appearance in ''[[Dragon Quest Builders 2]]'', where he is one of the game's main characters. | As aforementioned, the vast majority of his appearances Malroth has little discernible personality outside of his desire for destruction.

Malroth demonstrates a lack of knowledge on many concepts, with an almost childlike ignorance at times. During his adventure with the Builder, three concepts in particular catch his interest: "dreams", "love", and "conviction". When Lulu arranges a party for him and the Builder he is not sure how to act and thinks it is a pointless gesture, but appreciates it anyway. | Malroth demonstrates a lack of knowledge on many concepts, with an almost childlike ignorance at times.

He quickly develops a habit of using a high-five with the Builder as a celebratory gesture, but he is unsure of what inspired him to start doing so. Over the course of their adventure, he becomes close friends with the Builder. {{spoiler|start}}His attachment to the Builder lasts even after [[Hargon]] forces him to attain his true form. When he and the Builder clash, he very obviously holds himself back despite expressing his desire to consume the Builder moments beforehand. The great dissonance between his newly developed sentimentality and desire for destruction causes him to split into two entities, his human avatar which retains said sentimentality, and his unrestrained true form which retains its single-minded directive for destruction. Malroth is later able to recombine and the personality developed during his time with the Builder appears to have attained dominance.{{spoiler|end}} | ||
