Not to be confused with Anchorman (Skill).

The anchorman is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series.

Introduced in Dragon Quest VIII, it's a sentient, rusty anchor.

Characteristics[edit]

Anchormen are animated anchor monsters that have risen up from the depths of the ocean. Their body consists of a rusted iron anchor, with two yellow eyes in one of the sides of it, and a rusted chain that it uses to attack the player. They are probably the anchors of wrecked ships, that came to life thanks to the possession of the souls of those who died in the shipwreck.
