Ivor teams up with the Hero to help clear the landslide blocking Angel Falls from the outside world. During this part he's a temporary party member the player can't command and is equipped with a copper sword and pot lid.

'''Princess Simona''' (Japanese フィオーネ姫 [Princess Fione]) is the heir to the throne of [[Stornway]] and the descendent of Princess Mona.

Dr. Phlegming is quite engrossed in his work.  He is anxious to prove himself to his father-in-law, who thinks him unworthy of Cararrinha.  Unfortunately, this leads to his ignorance of Catarrhina's condition.  Dr. Phlegming accompanies the hero to the [[Quarantomb]] and helps to seal away the [[Ragin' Contagion]].  Afterward, the hero takes Dr. Phlegming around town to meet the townspeople whose lives he helped.  The hero is asked to do this as a final request by Catarrhina.  Dr. Phlegming resolves to do a better job of being involved with the people of Coffinwell.

When the Hero arrives, Marion has already passed away. After Marionette is kidnapped, the spirit of Marion appears to the Hero and explains the truth of the matter. Later Marion realises the error of her wish and explains this to Marionette - at this point she passes on to the afterlife.

Marionette (Japanese: マウリヤ [Mauria]) is a doll in Marion Bloome's possession, made to look almost exactly like Marion. She was animated via [[fygg]], in order to live the life that Marion could not. When the Hero arrives at Bloomingdale, Marionette is kidnapped. Upon saving her from the Tyrantula, she returns to Bloomingdale. There she informs everyone that she (as everyone in town still believes she is Marion) will be leaving on a long trip, lends the family's ship to the hero and gives up the fygg, becoming a lifeless doll once more.

'''Queen Voluptua''' (Japanese: ユリシス [Yurishisu]) is the daughter and heir of King Aqueus, the High Drator. Neglected by her father, she was rather bitter and abusive of her power as monarch, and began to indulge in hedonism. She is quite arrogant, which leads to the incident involving her pet Drak and a [[fygg]].  After she is helped by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|hero]], her demeanor improves and she becomes a better queen.   

Voluptua is the latest in a line of female rulers of desert cities in the ''Dragon Quest'' series.  She is preceded by the queens of [[Helmunaptra]] and [[Isis]] in ''Dragon Quest [[Dragon Quest V|V]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest III|III]]'', respectively.  However, Voluptua, unlike her predecessors, is much more ill-behaved until later in the story.
