(For the one-eyed blue wizard seen in IV, see Blinkster.)

The grimlin (also known as beelzebaby in Dragon Quest of the Stars) is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first introduced in Dragon Quest II.

It is an orange-skinned stronger variant of the gremlin.

Characteristics[edit]

Grimlins, like their pink-skinned cousins, are winged Devils with the bodies of small children, scaly lizard-like tails, pointy ears, and a pair of pink or magenta horns on their heads. They float about with the pair of small, dark orange wings on their back and their tongues constantly hang out from their mischievous faces. The undersides of their bodies are teal and they have black circles around their red eyes, giving them the appearance of wearing a mask. In battle, they can breathe out fiery breath, cast a variety of different spells, and can call more devilish blighters to assist them. After a long absence from the series, Grimlins made a reappearance like many classic monsters in X and eventually other spinoff games.

A couple of Grimlins can be fought for the Water Sigil in the jail of Moonahan if the Luminaries have the golden key and jailor's key.

In the NES, they respawn and can be battled again if the party leaves the area. The remakes limit the encounter with them to one battle.

These lovable little rogues of the demon kingdom don't bat an eyelid when berated for being rude, or for playing tricks on their betters. And everyone forgives them nonetheless. They're just so adorable!
