The '''Mandrake Marauder''' is a monster that appears in [[Dragon Quest V]] and [[Dragon Quest IX]]. In Japanese, what we call the "Mandrake Marauder" in English have two seperate names in V and IX, so the name "Mandrake Marauder" could therefore be said to describe two entirely different monsters. The one in V, known in Japan as りゅうせんし ''ryū-senshi'', also appears in [[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2]] and [[Dragon Quest Heroes II]]. The one in IX, known as りゅう兵士 ''ryū-heishi'', has so far only appeared in Dragon Quest IX.

It has a pair of pair purple horns on top of its head and darker purple scales starting from the top of its head to the end of its tail. The straps on its headgear, shield, and breastplate are green. It is stronger than the [[Mandrake major]], but weaker than the [[Mandrake marshal]]. In battle, it is capable of performing violent slashing attacks with its sword and can call for more of its companions as backup. The marauders have yet to make a reappearance in the main series, but they have been a regular presence in spinoff games.
 
When ''Dragon Quest IX'' was first released in English, the [[Mandrake mangler]] was originally given the name Mandrake marauder as well, but it was a new and different monster in Japanese.
