The '''Killing Machine''' is a monster in the series.
First introduced in {{Dragon Quest II}}, it is a quadrupedal robot and one of the few mechanical {{MFamilies}}s featured in the series.


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
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.
Killing machines are four-legged [[Machine family|robots]] with suction-cup-like feet, a single red eye, and are primarily blue in color. In most games, 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, being able to channel the power of ice through their swords with [[Kacrackle Slash]]. Their robotic bodies tend to give them protection against status effects such as poison and sleep, but the machines frequently have difficulty dealing with lightning and explosive spells. The ''Heroes'' series of games started the trend of players being able to short circuit them with electrical attacks and magic.

Killing machines retain their previous qualities, though they aren't fought as near to the game's end as they are in other titles. They can be found in the [[Dragon Graveyard]] and the snowy area where [[Orkutsk]] is situated, locations that may reference their habitats in the previous two mainstream games they were in.
Additionally, three killing machines are available as Monster Team recruits once the player fulfills the requirements for them to appear and also gains access to the areas they appear in.

Killing machine appeared from the beginning of the game. Like before, they act twice per turn and can attack with violent slashes, arrows from their bows, their laser beam, and [[Kacrackle Slash]]. Starting with Version 2.2, [[Item Master|Item Masters]] are able to recruit them as monster companions. In Version 5.0, vicious killing machines can be encountered in the [[Netherworld]].

Killing machines appear in the Flying Clawtress, the last area of the game and appear en masse in the rooms they are found, one particular room forcing the player against ten of them before being able to continue. They lack their usual crossbows but wield the eye laser attack given to them in {{Dragon Quest VIII}}. While they cannot attack twice given the genre of the game, they do have a frenzied state upon first being attacked and will occasionally drop lucky bags containing vulcan ammunition, a type of ammo that can be used to attack multiple times in tank battles.

The Killing Machine is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Killing machines are four-legged robots with suction-cup-like feet, a single red eye, and are primarily blue in color. In most games, 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 until 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, being able to channel the power of ice through their swords with Kacrackle Slash. Their robotic bodies tend to give them protection against status effects such as poison and sleep, but the machines frequently have difficulty dealing with lightning and explosive spells. In the Heroes series of games, they can be short circuited them with electrical attacks and magic.

Appearances[edit | edit source]

Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line[edit | edit source]


Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride[edit | edit source]

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 recruit a Killing machine for the team, though the odds of one wanting to join the player are extremely low.

Dragon Quest X [edit | edit source]

Killing machine appeared from the beginning of the game. Like before, they act twice per turn and can attack with violent slashes, arrows from their bows, their laser beam, and Kacrackle Slash. Starting with Version 2.2, Item Masters are able to recruit them as monster companions. In Version 5.0, vicious killing machines can be encountered in the Netherworld.

Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime[edit | edit source]

Killing machines appear in the Flying Clawtress, the last area of the game and appear en masse in the rooms they are found, one particular room forcing the player against ten of them before being able to continue. They lack their usual crossbows but wield the eye laser attack given to them in Dragon Quest VIII. While they cannot attack twice given the genre of the game, they do have a frenzied state upon first being attacked and will occasionally drop lucky bags containing vulcan ammunition, a type of ammo that can be used to attack multiple times in tank battles.
