Often portrayed as heavy-attackers, killing machines had little else in their arsenal beyond physical attacks before {{Dragon Quest VIII}} gave them the power to shoot a laser from their eye. They are notably one of the first regular enemies in the series that can attack twice per round and do so essentially all the time, retaining this ability in their mainstream appearances and often bearing similar attributes or references to this in spin-off games. Another recurring quality is that they often appear in cold climates or areas close to such places, being able to channel the power of ice through their swords with [[Kacrackle Slash]]. Their robotic bodies tend to give them protection against status effects such as poison and sleep, but the machines frequently have difficulty dealing with lightning and explosive spells. The ''Heroes'' series of games started the trend of players being able to short circuit them with electrical attacks and magic. | Often portrayed as heavy-attackers, killing machines had little else in their arsenal beyond physical attacks before {{Dragon Quest VIII}} gave them the power to shoot a laser from their eye.
