Legerdeman are humanoid spellcasters that serve the Dragonlord. They wear all-encompassing maroon robes with hoods that obscure their faces except for their eyes. In their left hands, they carry tall bronze staves topped with crystal orbs. Compared to the lesser mages, legerdemans have gained the troublesome ability to put adventurers to sleep with a spell to go along with their fire magic. However, they are still vulnerable to having their spells sealed away, making them easier to dispatch.
Legerdeman appears as an A-rank monster of the Demon family during the second part of the True Dragon Quest I event. It will join the party in the Rimuldar stage of Adventure in the DQ I World: Mindini and it can be fully awakened by repeating the stage at any difficulty. The legerdeman also stars in its own Battle Road.
