Sheer Decadence is the materialization of the Luminary's overindulgence, found in the depths of Drustan's Labyrinth as a test to steel the Hero's will before facing the Scourge of Erdrea.
Characteristics[edit]
Sheer Decadence has a near-identical appearance to the Spectral Sentinel Booga, being a rotund, green-skinned demon that levitates silver orbs around his midsection. He wears a golden chain with the Green Orb hanging as a pendant around his neck, which he utilises to drain opponents' magic power. His body is surrounded with the verdant aura of the Green Orb. Like Booga and the other hula-hooping demons, Sheer Decadence is able to use his groovy dance moves to summon forth a powerful cyclone that rips apart enemies. He can also put on a truly show-stopping seductive dance in an attempt to get anyone who watches into the groove and beguiles opponents with his third eye.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit]
Sheer Decadence is partnered with All-Consuming Greed for a bacchanalia beat down, and both must be defeated within 40 turns.
