'''Torneko''' (トルネコ) is a character in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''.<br />
<br />
==Appearance and Personality==<br />
<br />
Taloon wears a loose muumuu, chosen for comfort and practicality over fashionability. He hefts a giant backpack of sorts at all times, which he uses to hold his wares, personal belongings and, presumably, some of the party's items. He has a mustache and huge belly, both of which help to bring out his general jolliness.<br />
<br />
He is initially compelled to leave his quiet home due to an unquenchable wanderlust; his wife is very understanding and promises to look after their home and child while Taloon runs off in search of wealth and adventure.<br />
<br />
Although much of his time and effort goes toward accruing [[gold coin]]s, he doesn't do this out of greed, but to make his wife happy and for altruistic endeavors. Overall, he is a very kind person.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
<br />
Torneko wakes up in Chapter 3 in his house in [[Lakanaba]] to work his job at the local weapons shop. However he feels that this life is not good enough for him so he sets on a journey to fulfill his dream which is to own a shop. After hearing about a [[Strongbox]] in a cave up north which allows you to travel anywhere without worrying about falling because it keeps all of your [[Gold_coin|Gold]] when you fall instead of taking half. Torneko ended up getting the strongbox and headed south to [[Ballymoral]].<br />
<br />
==In Battle==<br />
<br />
In the ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' class system, Taloon has elements of both a [[merchant]] and a [[goof-off]]. As a merchant, he can protect the party's gold when they go down, and use his [[appraise]] ability to give basic information and loss/return estimates on items in the party's possession. However, he also has the goof-off's tendency to not follow orders in battle, bellowing loudly, staring blankly into space, or telling naff gags when ordered to attack. He can equip most weapons and armour, and has respectable HP and level growth, and is otherwise a decent fighter; however, his Defence leaves something to be desired.<br />
<br />
==Abilities (PSX/DS versions)==<br />
<br />
* [[Padfoot]]<br />
* [[Eye for Distance]]<br />
* [[Nose for Treasure]]<br />
* [[Whistle]]<br />
<br />
==Names==<br />
In the [[DS]] remake of ''Dragon Quest IV'', Taloon's given name is Torneko, his Japanese name. In fact, his last name is Taloon, similar to how [[Ryan]] became "Ragnar McRyan."<br />
<br />
==Appearances in Other Dragon Quest Games==<br />
<br />
In [[Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King]], in the [[Monster Arena]] Rank S series of fights, the first fight is fought against a character that is named, and bares a striking resemblance to Torneko Taloon. The announcer reinforces this by saying the character is from [[Lakanaba]]. He uses treasure based monsters; two [[Goodybag]] monsters and a [[Mimic king]].<br />
