Scrimsley Terror

From Dragon Quest Wiki

The Scrimsley terror is an optional boss monster exclusive to the sixth game in the series. The monster is first encountered by the Hero and his party when they stay at the inn of the eponymous town.

Characteristics[edit]

The Scrimsley terror is a purple pallet swap of the Drackal monster, and as such resembles a dragon mixed with a rat. The beast is strictly nocturnal, spending its night stomping about Scrimsley and leaving immense tracks in its wake. That being said, it has not actually attacked a single citizen and road damage aside it has not caused any property destruction either.

The monster is revealed to be Amos, the town Hero who developed this peculiar condition after being bitten on the backside by a monster when saving a lost child. The townsfolk are aware that the terror is indeed "their Amos", and forbid the player from revealing the truth to the man: if he learns of nightly transformations, Amos will leave Scrimsley and cannot be recruited into the party.

Instead, it is suggested that the player retrieve the Seeds of reason in Hazy Heights in the hopes that they will cure Amos. When administered to the man, he transforms immediately--however, he now has full control of himself and can change at will via the Megamorphosis skill. Thankful to the Hero for curing him (more or less), Amos offers to join the group on their adventure.
