The Halloween king is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first introduced in Dragon Quest of the Stars. It is a King slime wearing a ghost costume in order to participate in Halloween festivities.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

The Halloween king is a king slime wearing a ragged sheet over itself to look like a ghost in the fashion of a typical Halloween costume. He has also switched out his typical crown for one made out of dark metal with gold and dark orange fabric. Although the Halloween king describes himself as an evangoolist for the holiday, he is perplexed by the activities and customs since it is his first Halloween. He ends up developing a frightening reputation among his fellow monsters for his enthusiasm in playing tricks and scaring them.
