The Knight aberrant is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, introduced in the original Dragon Quest.

It is an axe-wielding, armor-clad knight capable of putting enemies to Sleep with its magic.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Knight aberrants are Humanoid knights armored from head to top in grey and dark purple armor with lavender sabatons, gauntlets, a lavender gem on their belts, and a tall lavender plume on their helmets. They wield axes in their right hands and a round shield in the same color as the armour with gold in the center, though in some games they forgo using their shields. Compared to their blue-armored brothers, the Knight aberrant are deadlier due to their ability to cast Snooze in battle instead of Fizzle.
