The Terracotta warrior is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest VII. It is a clay figure of a swordsman that has been animated.
Terrifyingly tall clay warriors that crush and slash at attackers with their sizeable sword and strong shield. Their strange swords are capable of unleashing wicked winds with each slice and their powerful magic can drain the defense of even the toughest of warriors and raise the attack of any of its monstrous allies.
