Baramos (バラモス, Baramosu) is one of the main villains of Dragon Quest III, and a recurring monster in the series.

He can be found in his lair south of Isis, ruling over a barren, impregnable land that can only be accessed from the air.

Characteristics[edit]

Baramos and his forces menaced the world for an unknown number of years prior, which necessitated The Hero Ortega departing from Aliahan to slay him in the game's opening prologue Though the King of Aliahan states that the world at large is unaware of the fiend's activities, his very presence emboldens monsters the world over to assault human settlements.

Throughout the first half of III Baramos is believed to be the final boss, but this is a malicious facade; when The Hero defeats Baramos and returns to Aliahan triumphant, Zoma interrupts the celebrations to reveal Baramos was just an underling of his--an advance force to clear the way for his master. Having failed, Zoma announces that he will personally plunge the world into eternal darkness, causing The Hero to continue his quest.

Baramos will attack the party twice more in Zoma's Citadel, both as a ghost and a shambling corpse. There is no dialogue prior or during these encounters, implying that Baramos is not truly "revived" and is forced into further servitude by Zoma's magic. In the III remakes, a common enemy in Cloudsgate Citadel is a pallete-swap known as a Baramonster. Whether the Baramonsters were in Zoma's employ is not certain.

Baramos uses a fixed attack pattern in every version of the game, with slight differences between the NES version's pattern and the that of the SFC remake that would be the basis for all other versions:

Version Pattern
NES Kaboom → normal attack → InfernoKafrizzleBazoom → normal attack → KaboomFuddle → repeat
All
others
Kaboom → normal attack → Inferno → normal attack → KafrizzleFuddleKaboomBazoom → repeat
Fizzled Normal attack → Bazoom (fails) → Inferno → normal attack → repeat

Furthermore, Baramos has an excellent AI that halts him from casting Kaboom if a character has Bounce applied to them, skipping that phase of his pattern, and avoiding using magic altogether if he's been afflicted with Fizzle, starting a briefer pattern of using physical blows and Inferno instead. The one exception to this is Bazoom, which will fail to activate when cast and thus waste his turn.

In the Game Boy Color version Baramos will not cast Bazoom when Fizzled, gaining an additional physical attack in the spells place for a loop of normal attack → normal attack → Inferno → normal attack.

Baramos appears as a Legacy Boss, obtained after completing Quest #062. He is the weakest of the Legacy Bosses, but he is still very powerful and capable of casting Kafrizz and Kaboom and can also use Fire Breath and regular attacks (which are prone to inflicting critical hits). Ice attacks are his weakness, but he resists wind attacks.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit]

Baramos returns as a boss battle in his castle, accessible from the last III chapter in the Echo Chamber. Due to the death of the Necrogondolier before the minion's revival ceremony could be completed, the fiend pulled himself back from the void by consuming souls and anguish.

Trivia[edit]

  • Baramos' design bears a slight similarity to the Dragon Ball character Piano, one of Demon King Piccolo's henchmen.
  • Oddly, Baramos comes after his own ghost and corpse in the numerical list of monsters in III.
