'''Lord Rhapthorne''' is the central antagonist of ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. A demon of untold legend, Rhapthorne is the party's final opponent in their quest to rid the world of an evil curse.

==Characteristics==
Rhapthorne had power over the World of Darkness and planned to take control of the World of Light, but was stopped by the [[Seven Sages]] with the help of [[Empyrea]], the Godbird. He returned centuries later to kill the heirs of Seven Sages and take over the World of Light.

The little twerp has a nasty resistance to all three types of flame on top of [[sap]], but he doesn't have any other strengths besides that. Dazzleflash and Lullab-eye can get annoying, but the glorified anemone doesn't bring too much to the table that can give players a hard time.

Once his shield is broken, Rhapthorne can be attacked in earnest. He has no resistance to elemental damage, a 25% resistance to [[sap]], and immunity to all other debilitation. He'll put his girth to use when swiping with his arm, dealing 100~120 defense piercing damage, and can knock out a character after it connects. The ball on his scepter will deal 281 points of pierce damage to two random targets, and can confuse a character. Anger of the Gods will deal 84~96 points of [[bang]] damage to four random targets. Because his physical skills ignore defence, [[Kabuff]] is useless; cast [[Acceleratle]] to boost evasion and [[Insulatle]] to take the sting out of his breath attacks. Anger of the Gods can devastate the party if the player isn't careful while praying, so don't be afraid to take a turn to heal. Rhapthorne's random targeting can be tricky to counter, but as long as the party is above 50% health throughout the battle, victory is assured.

==Other Appearances==
Outside his main role in ''Dragon Quest VIII'', Rhapthorne also makes appearances in these titles.
===''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''===
:''"Evil incantations and Kafrizz form just part of this portly demon's plan to exterminate his enemies. Lick him with light. Some say his body is so big that is contains enough cursed power to contort the space-time continuum itself." - Dragon Quest IX bestiary''

Rhapthorne also appears as a Legacy Boss in [[Dragon Quest IX]], obtained after completing [[List of quests in Dragon Quest IX#Quest #171 - #179|Quest #179]] (or received at special events). He will become [[enraged]] once his health drops to orange range.
