Toxic zombie

From Dragon Quest Wiki

The Toxic zombie is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest III, it is a stronger version of the walking corpse that has become so putrid with decay that its very touch is poisonous.

Characteristics[edit]

Horrific shambling purple-skinned undead that have freshly risen from the grave, their fingers and raking nails still covered in their own brand of toxic sludge that can not only poison party members, but can also paralyse with a single scratch. They've been known to be so bloated that they belch out poison gas that can infect an entire party. Toxic zombies wear tattered green tunics with purple trousers and have an untangled mass of grey-green hair on their heads.

Trivia[edit]

  • The Dokudoku (どくどく) in the Toxic zombie's Japanese name (どくどくゾンビ, Dokudoku zonbī) is both an adverb for "gushingly" and a homonym for the word for venom (毒々).
