The '''leger-de-man''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{DQ3}}.

They are evil [[Humanoid family|humans]] who sold their souls for power and have begun to serve demon lords, using their magic to kill adventurers.

==Characteristics==
'''Leger-de-men''' resemble [[Prestidigitator (Dragon Quest III)|prestidigitators]] in shape, wearing light green robes with white belts tied around their waists. They have red hands and red eyes glowing from their hoods. They have mastered many spells, making them formidable opponents even against experienced adventurers. The evil mages returned after a nearly 30 year absence from the series in {{XI}} along with the rest of their sorcerous brothers. They were originally depicted with four fingers on their hands like many other humanoid {{MFamilies}}s, but in modern appearances they now have five fingers on each hand.
