The '''Chasmonaut''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest II]]''. It is an undead foot soldier serving in the [[Demon Lord]]'s armies.

==Characterstics==
Chasmomauts are [[Undead family|skeletal]] warriors with yellowing bones that are clad in red and pink armor who carry a longsword and shield into battle. The shield bears the symbol of the [[Children of Hargon]] on it. They have a chance to drop the shields they carry, which will curse any adventurer with the misfortune to equip them. After a nearly 30 year absence in the series, the skeletons made their reappearance in ''[[Dragon Quest XI]]''.
