The '''Killing Machine''' is a recurring enemy in the {{DQSeries}}. First introduced in {{DQ2}}, it is a quadrupedal robot and one of the few mechanical monsters featured in the series.

Killing machines are four-legged robots with suction-cup-like feet, a single red eye, and are primarily blue in color. In most games they are featured in the killing machine holds a single-edged sword in its right hand and has a crossbow for a left arm with the bolts stored in a quiver worn on its back, the strap going across its upper body, though there are rare occasions where they have a normal left arm instead of a crossbow.

Often portrayed as heavy-attackers, killing machines had little else in their arsenal beyond physical attacks before {{Dragon Quest VIII}} gave them the power to shoot a laser from their eye. They are notably one of the first regular enemies in the series that can attack twice per round and do so essentially all the time, retaining this ability in their mainstream appearances and often bearing similar attributes or references to this in spin-off games. Another recurring quality is that they often appear in cold climates or areas close to such places.

The killing machine reappears and is essentially in the same position it was first in: a monster not encountered until almost the very end of the game. They can be found in the latter portions of Nadiria and will also appear within Mt. Zugzwang, the dungeon players must venture through in order to confront the game's antagonist. Killing Machines are also summoned by [[Nimzo]] as reinforcements. It is possible to [[killing machine (Recruit)|recruit]] a killing machine for the team, though the odds of one wanting to join the player are extremely low.

Interestingly, the default name of the killing machine is KB. One interpretation of this is 'Killer Bot', a likely reference to its Japanese name and present one.
