The '''Nemean''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}. It first appeared as a low-level treasure map boss in {{Dragon Quest IX}}, eventually appearing both as a boss and a recruitable monster in other games.

==Characteristics==
Nemean is a chimeric monster made from a combination of various other creatures much like a manticore. It has the body shape, shaggy mane, and a tuft at the end of its long tail like a lion but with an scale-armoured back and both dragon tail and wings. It has red demonic eyes. Most of its body, including its fur and scaled abdomen are cream-coloured, while the draconic features are taupe and its face, inside of its ears, underside, and claws are light purple. The webbing on its dragon's wings are orange. In battle, it can deliver vicious slashes with its claws and can breathe out intense flames, while its tough hide makes it highly impervious to status ailments. In later games, Nemean gained the ability to breathe out bursts of blinding light and call down thunderbolts.

==Story==
{{spoiler|start}}
In ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'' it is revealed, thanks to [[Fowleye]], that the '''Nemean''' is one of the ten monsters that were created by '''[[Zenus]] remains''' (due to [[Corvus]]' attack) and also that the draconic lion used to be His ''"harebrained"'' head and in the Monster List is also revealed that ''"he could speak the mortal tongue, but had long forgotten"''.
