'''Baramos''', known as the '''Demon Lord''' and the '''Arch Fiend''', is one of the main villains of ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', and a recurring monster in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|series]]. He can be found in [[Baramos's Lair|his lair south of Isis]].


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Throughout the first half of ''Dragon Warrior III'', Baramos is believed to be the final boss; however, when he is defeated by the [[Erdrick|hero]], who returns to [[Aliahan]] triumphant, [[Zoma]] interrupts the celebrations to reveal Baramos was just an underling of his, and announces his intentions to plunge the world into darkness, causing the [[Erdrick|hero]] to continue his quest.
Baramos and his forces menaced the world for an unknown number of years prior, which necessitated the hero [[Ortega]] departing from [[Aliahan]] to slay him in the game's opening prolog. Though the king of Aliahan states that the world at large is unaware of the fiend's activities, his very presence emboldens monsters the world over to assault human settlements.


In addition to the primary Baramos at work in Zoma's scheme, his inner circle includes at least two more versions of Baramos, [[Baramos Bomus]] and [[Baramos Gonus]] (the latter of which appears to be a skeletal form of Baramos). In the ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' remakes, a common, repeated enemy in the first bonus dungeon is also a form of Baramos known as [[BaraEvil]]. Whether the [[BaraEvil]]s were in Zoma's employ is not certain.
Throughout the first half of ''III'' Baramos is believed to be the final boss, but this is malicious facade; when the [[Erdrick|hero]] defeats Baramos and returns to Aliahan triumphant, [[Zoma]] interrupts the celebrations to reveal Baramos was just an underling of his--an advance force to clear the way for his master. Having failed, Zoma announces that he will personally plunge the world into eternal darkness, causing the hero to continue his quest.
 
Baramos will attack the party twice more in [[Zoma's Castle]], both as a ghost and a shambling corpse. There is no dialogue prior or during these encounters, implying that Baramos is not truly "revived" and is forced into further servitude by Zoma's magic. In the ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' remakes, a common enemy in [[Cloudsgate Citadel]] is a pallete-swap known as a [[Baramonster]]. Whether the baramonsters were in Zoma's employ is not certain.

==Trivia==
*Baramos' design bears a slight similarity to the ''Dragon Ball'' character of Pian, one of Demon King Piccolo's henchmen.
*Oddly, Baramos comes after his own ghost and corpse in the numerical list of monsters in ''III''.
