The Dark minister is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series that was introduced in Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King.
Characteristics[edit]
Draped in dark garb and donning a fearsome mask that conceals all but their white eyes and teeth, the dark minister is a dastardly practitioner in black magic. Like all monsters hailing from the World of Darkness, their bodies and clothes are colored in various shades of black and dark greys. Having mastered the Woosh line of spells, they tear through parties with ripping tornados and are not above bestowing a curse upon an unlucky soul. They attack using wicked black scythes which they conceal within the folds of their robes.
