Hell raiser: Difference between revisions

}}

 

The '''Hell raiser''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''. It is a high-ranking monster that serves as a priest of hell.

Hell raisers are squat [[Undead family|undead]] priests with dark indigo skin, solid yellow eyes, along with skin and fins around their face that are also coloured yellow. Their lower canine fangs are displayed prominently from their yellow mouths. They wear purple robes with magenta collars and hats in the same colour, carrying tall rods topped with rings. The hell raisers are able to use these rods to channel lightning and they are also able to revive their fellow monsters with the '''Zing''' spell. Although the priests have not made a reappearance in the main series, they have made regular appearances in spinoff games.

==Etymology==

* Hell raiser's original localized name and Japanese name Karon (カロン) is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Charon|Charon]], the ferryman of the river Styx in Greek mythology, who rowed the shades of the dead in the underworld.

* A hell raiser (also spelled hellraiser) is someone who engages in wild, uncontrollable behavior. Its name is a play on its ability to raise monsters from the dead.
