Dragon Quest II HD-2D Remake[edit]

Pazuzu's role in the HD-2D Remake of his debut is set to be more or less the same, but appears in the Volcanic Grotto alongside his two whackolyte guardians protecting the False Idol while he eats bananas from a pile. When the Scions of Erdrick confront him and the 2 Whackolytes, they engage in a magic fight, killing 1 Whackolyte while the other was wounded by the Prince of Cannock's Kazap, which also destroyed Pazuzu's pile of bananas, causing the monstrous monkey to fight the Scions of Erdrick in anger.

Etymology[edit]

In ancient Mesopotamia, Pazuzu is the name of a demon who was the personification of the western wind and held kingdom over wind demons. He was known for bringing famine during dry seasons and locusts during rainy seasons. Although he is considered an evil spirit, Pazuzu could also be called upon to ward off other malicious spirits, as well.
