The '''Slaughtomaton''' (デスマシーン, ''Death Machine'') is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing as a boss in {{Dragon Quest VII}} at the depths of the [[Automaton Stronghold]].

Its English name is a portmanteau of the words "slaughter" and "[[automaton]]".

==Characteristics==
Slaughtomaton is a green [[Machine family|mechanical monster]] that appears like an armored knight with an oni face in the center of its chest. The machine has a helmet with purple horns (or blue horns on some artwork and games) on top of its head and dual wields a pair of swords with purple handles and hilts. Its feet and the top half of its demonic face are sea green and it has eye-like structures on its helmet, shoulders, and knees. The mouth opens back and forth to reveal its sharp fangs and a purple tongue (or blue tongue for certain games and artwork). The Slaughtomaton is a force to be reckoned with, as it is capable of blinding its enemies and using a variety of deadly attacks, such as breathing fire. Its design also bears a resemblance to [[Psaro the Manslayer]]'s fifth form.

==Story==
Slaughtomaton is the trump card that the [[Tinpot Dictator]] uses against the {{Party 7}} after being beaten by them and summons it with his last breath. When he summons the monster, it crushes his body. It then sets its sights on the {{Party 7}}. However, it is eventually defeated as well, shutting down and disappearing for good.

==Strategy==
The party fights this battle right after defeating the [[Tinpot Dictator]]. Conserving {{MP}} and healing items from the last fight is instrumental.

The Slaughtomaton can use [[Dazzleflash]] which, if it lands, can decrease the accuracy of the party. It can breathe flames, causing 15-20 {{HP}} worth of damage. Every so often, it will use [[Double-Edged Slash]], which is a devastating attack, inflicting 40~50 damage on a single character. However, some damage will be reflected back to it.

{{Maribel}} should use [[Sap]] although it only has a slight resistance to it and it is capable of casting [[Magic Barrier]]. [[Kiefer]] should use the combo of [[Focus Strength]] and [[Flame Slash]] on the enemy. The {{Hero 7}} should attack, stopping only if a {{Party 7}} member is low on {{HP}}. [[Ruff]] should constantly attack, stopping only if the {{Party 7}} is really hurting and the {{Hero 7}} and {{Maribel}} can't heal fast enough.

The mech has a very low resistance to [[Ruff]]'s [[Aooo!]] ability, making it possible to survive the fight with the bot making next to zero attacks.

==Other Appearances==
==={{DQ10}}===
Slaughtomaton is a Coin Boss in ''[[Dragon Quest X]]'', first appearing from June 11th onwards. It retains Dazzleflash and Double-Edged Slash, though its Flame Breath is upgraded to [[Scorch]]. In addition, it has a variety of new abilities such as [[Lightning Storm]], [[Pound]], and other abilities like Runaway Mode and Vermillion Bomb.

==={{DQRivals}}===
Slaughtomaton appeared as a legendary rare card exclusive for [[Demon Swordsman|Demon Swordsmen]] leaders in the 10th card pack, "Frontier of Creation and Destruction". It also appeared as a boss in the Solo Battle Adventure mode of {{Rivals Ace}}, reprising its role as the boss of the [[Automaton Stronghold]].

Slaughtomaton appeared in the game as a boss in Chapter 2, Episode 5 of the limited {{Dragon Quest VII}} event starting on March 19, 2021, as well as a special mega version that can be challenged by multiple players.
