===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]''===
{{spoiler|start}}When Terry was very young. he witnessed his older sister [[Milly]] be abducted by a creature called [[Warubou]] to the distant kingdom of [[GreatLog]]. A few moments later, a similar creature known as [[Watabou]] appeared and took Terry to the kingdom of [[GreatTree]]. Terry only wanted to find his sister, but the king of GreatTree convinced him to become a monster tamer and win the [[Starry Night Tournament]]. The king stated that if Terry were to win the tournament, he would be granted any wish he desired. Terry then sets off to recruit monsters and explore the world. After Terry's monsters become powerful enough, he enters the tournament and ends up fighting against the monsters of the champion from [[GreatLog]], who happens to be his sister Milly. After winning the tournament, Terry and his sister are reunited.


==Background==
Terry's adult counterpart, as seen in Dragon Quest VI, is encountered a few times inside the final rooms of the gates. Although his identity is not revealed until his last appearance, it is hinted at through cryptic remarks made by NPCs that this mysterious individual happens to look like younger Terry does. Like in Dragon Quest VI, adult Terry is looking for the strongest sword to become the most powerful swordsman in the world. When conversing with his younger self, adult Terry is condescending towards young Terry for his usage of monsters rather than fighting opponents directly. This attitude changes into respect in the Room of Reflection where young Terry defeats Dhuran, a feat that adult Terry could not accomplish, releasing him from Dhuran's control in the process.{{spoiler|end}}

Terry initially goes on his quest to become more powerful, because he was unable to protect his older sister [[Milly]] while growing up in [[Felonia]]. She was taken away by the king's men to be added to his "collection" when they were younger, and Terry was left critically injured after stabbing the chief assailant during the abduction. Clinging to life, Terry escaped Felonia and swore to become the world's most powerful swordsman to save his sister.

"Whatever you do in life, make sure you're winning."

Terry (テリー Terii) the blue swordsman is a brash, arrogant character in Dragon Quest VI who joins the hero's party later in the game. Prior to joining he is encountered several times throughout the story, beating the party to the in various goals and reaping the rewards for himself. As a child, Terry was the main character of Dragon Quest Monsters.

Appearance and Personality

Terry wears a blue cap to cover his white hair, a blue tunic with matching gloves over a black undershirt, and white pants capped with black boots. The tunic is partially covered with a section of Leather armour, and he carries a satchel at his side.

Terry is the archetypal "lone wolf" in that he prefers to work alone and hates to depend on others. While he is not strictly anti-social, Terry is very condescending towards others and speaks in a terse manner. This bellicose attitude stems from his profound (and well hidden) loneliness, as shown in his Lucky Dip antics. That being said, he is still a good person at heart and is strongly implied to have saved several people from the jaws of monsters during his travels, most notably Donna the bar maid from Port Haven.

As a child, Terry is much more kind and social. Throughout his journey in the Kingdom of GreatTree, Terry is always willing to help those in need. Unlike his older counterpart, Terry is eager to and willing to make friends with his companions and rivals. In addition, Terry helps others out of kindness and compassion, rather than any thoughts of rewards and making a name for himself like his adult self would do.

When Terry was very young. he witnessed his older sister Milly be abducted by a creature called Warubou to the distant kingdom of GreatLog. A few moments later, a similar creature known as Watabou appeared and took Terry to the kingdom of GreatTree. Terry only wanted to find his sister, but the king of GreatTree convinced him to become a monster tamer and win the Starry Night Tournament. The king stated that if Terry were to win the tournament, he would be granted any wish he desired. Terry then sets off to recruit monsters and explore the world. After Terry's monsters become powerful enough, he enters the tournament and ends up fighting against the monsters of the champion from GreatLog, who happens to be his sister Milly. After winning the tournament, Terry and his sister are reunited.

Terry's adult counterpart, as seen in Dragon Quest VI, is encountered a few times inside the final rooms of the gates. Although his identity is not revealed until his last appearance, it is hinted at through cryptic remarks made by NPCs that this mysterious individual happens to look like younger Terry does. Like in Dragon Quest VI, adult Terry is looking for the strongest sword to become the most powerful swordsman in the world. When conversing with his younger self, adult Terry is condescending towards young Terry for his usage of monsters rather than fighting opponents directly. This attitude changes into respect in the Room of Reflection where young Terry defeats Dhuran, a feat that adult Terry could not accomplish, releasing him from Dhuran's control in the process.

Terry is a talented swordsman, traveling the world to find more powerful weapons and to prove his strength.

Later, he is met in the Everfrost Grotto where the Sword of Ramias is found. Terry decides to leave the sword for the hero though, since it is all rusty. Finally Terry must be defeated in battle before the Cloudsgate Citadel can reappear in the Phantom World. Once Dhuran, the boss imprisoning Cloudsgate Citadel is defeated, Terry will join the hero's party.
