'''Gracos''' is a recurring monster and antagonist in the {{DQSeries}}. He is typically depicted as an overweight [[Merman]]-like monster wielding a [[Gracos' trident|pole-arm]].

Gracos is likely a more powerful form of a Merman, as he shares many of his characteristics with this monster, particularly the placement of his fins. Gracos differs from this common monster by means of his greater girth, thicker lips, wristbands and weapon: a pole-arm with a crescent-shaped blade on the end.

Having first appeared as a boss monster, Gracos typically fulfills that same role in his other appearances and is powerful as such. He possesses great physical might and is adept at using magic and abilities as well.

Making his second appearance as a boss, Gracos is the one responsible for flooding [[Wetlock]] in the past and must be confronted in order to set things right.

Gracos is a tough fight. He can attack twice in one round and hit the party very hard. He is immune to Sap and has a high resistance to [[Dazzle]]. Finally, he has a very high resistance to ice spells and skills so these should be avoided completely.

There is a small grace as [[Florin]] joins this fight. Even still, Gracos shouldn't be taken lightly. The [[Shepherd]]'s [[Insulatle]] technique does wonders for this battle as well as [[Kabuff]] and [[Buff]]. Armor that protects against ice is a must. The [[Martial Artist]]'s [[Wind Sickles]] should be used regularly as well as the Shepherd's [[Lambpede]] attack and the Hybrid skill Sword Dance.

Do not rely on Jann to heal the party. If you are in need of healing, have [[Maribel Mayde]] use the [[Staff of salvation]].
