The dark devildog is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest VIII. It is a powerful relative of the chainine.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Dark devildogs are anthropomorphic bulldog monsters that wear golden suits of armor and carry around a pair of chained collars attached to their waists. They also wear red trousers and red, spiked skullcaps which they can drop after battle. Like their less powerful cousins, these powerful guard dogs are capable of incapacitating their opponents with the collars they carry. The fearsome barking of the hounds can shock enemies into intimidation and even summon hell's gatekeepers to assist them in battle.

Description These powerful dog-monsters are a handful in their own right, but become even more difficult to defeat when they call upon hell's gatekeepers for help.

Dragon Quest Rivals[edit | edit source]

Dark devildogs appeared in the 3rd cardpack, "Cries of the Phoenix and Mother Earth" as a super rare card exclusive for Fortune Teller leaders. As a reference to their original appearance, the dark devildogs could summon a hell's gatekeeper as a special token.
