Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest Treasures[edit]

Dance of the Dead is the signature move of the decorative zombies, being the Pearly wights, Shadow ministers, Wight kings, & Wight princes with fashionable accessories. It costs 10 MP and beckons forth several ethereal skulls to hunt down all enemies or target a single foe, dealing Dark-element damage.

Etymology[edit]

  • Dance of the Dead is an English equivalent of the French phrase Danse Macabre. The phrase describes how the universality of death unites people from all walks of life together regardless of their former station, which is reflected in-game by the skill being shared between priests and royalty.
