'''Murdaw''' | '''Murdaw''' appears as the initial primary antagonist in {{DQ6}}. He terrorizes the world, and any who challenge him never return.

Defeating him allows access to the {{Vocation}} system.

The game begins with the {{Hero 6}}, [[Carver]] and [[Milly]] confronting Murdaw in his keep. Before the battle can properly start, Murdaw ambushes the trio, separating each of their bodies into two essences and banishing one part into the Dream World while spreading the other part throughout the Real World. While this act did not kill off the heroes, it severely weakened their powers and abilities and rendered the Dream World essences amnesic. The Hero's Real World counterpart was sent far away, while Carver's Real World counterpart was petrified and remained in the castle. What happened to Milly is never revealed, but her two essences found each other and combined off-screen, not too long after the incident. | The game begins with the {{Hero 6}}, [[Carver]] and [[Milly]] confronting Murdaw in his keep.

Unfazed by the loss, Murdaw declares that he will get his revenge soon enough before attempting to teleport himself away. The heroes use [[Ra's Mirror]] on him, revealing that he is really King Somnus, whom Murdaw possessed to project himself onto the Dream World. | ||
The heroes eventually locate the real Murdaw in the Real World, finding themselves in the same location as the beginning of the game.
