The '''Merking''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''. It is a stronger and bulkier variant of a [[Merman]] that wields a polearm.

==Characteristics==
Merkings are bulky [[Aquatic family|mermen]] that have grown larger fins and more musculature than their ordinary counterparts. In their hands, they wield unusual tridents with a crescent-moon shaped head which they flail wildly about in battle. With its magic, it is capable of freezing parties of adventurers with its '''Crackle''' spell and seal away their spells with '''Fizzle'''. They are also capable of spewing forth venomous vapors that can envenom their enemies. Although the merking shares the same name as the [[Merking]] in both English and Japanese, the kind that appear in ''VI'' have a similar appearance to the Dread Fiend [[Gracos]]. In the next game, a similar monster named [[Merderer]] essentially replaced this merking, having a near identical appearance and combat abilities. Years later, the merking from ''VI'' made a reappearance in ''Monsters: Super Light'' wielding a trident with a different design.
