The '''Seasaur''' is a monster in the series.


==Description==
==Description==
The '''Seasaur''' is a large aquatic monster based off of the mythological Leviathan. It is a palette swap of the '''Abyss diver'''. It is far stronger with stronger elemental breath attacks that can trouble even high level parties. Caution in respect of this monster is recommended.
The seasaur is a large [[Aquatic family|aquatic]] monster, similar to the mythological [[Wikipedia:Leviathan|Leviathan]]. Most of its body is blue, with grey undersides, and orange on its fins and the webs on its limbs. It also has a pair of long, pale green horns on its head. Seasaurs are dangerous monsters to face on the open seas, being able to breath out powerful fire and ice attacks at seafaring adventurers. In their first appearances, they were stronger than [[Abyss diver|abyss divers]], but starting with ''Dragon Quest VIII'', they became the weaker monsters.

==Trivia==
* The seasaur's original Japanese name {{translation|''Gyaōsu''|ギャオース}} is inspired by the kaiju '''Gyaos''' featured in the 1967 Japanese film ''[[Wikipedia:Gamera vs. Gyaos|Gamera vs. Gyaos]]''. However, in the movie, Gyaos is a giant bat or pterosaur-like creature with leathery wings, rather than a sea monster. Over the years, Gyaos's appearance has become more draconic, with larger wings.
