The '''Mandrake marshal''', originally known as '''Springer''' and '''DragonMan''',  is a semi-recurring monster in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'' series]].
The '''Mandrake marshal''' is a monster in the series.


==Description==
==Characteristics==
The Mandrake marshal is a bipedal, anthropomorphic, yellow dragon monster. It is dressed in a helmet and wields a sword and shield.
Mandrake marshals are bipedal [[Dragon family|dragon]] swordsmen with yellow scales, large wings on their backs, and curved horns on their heads. They wield curved sabres in their right hands and bucklers in their left hands. Starting with ''Dragon Quest X'', mandrake marshals now have duller yellow scales and pale green horns on their heads to differentiate them from [[mandrake mercenary|mandrake mercenaries]]. They are elite dragon warriors that are skilled in both swordplay and magic. Their Japanese name comes from the German word "[[Wiktionary:Springer|Springer]]", which is the term for a knight chess piece.

The DragonMan Boss is fought in [[Probina]].
==={{DQ10}}===
Mandrake marshal appeared from the beginning of the game. Although it can no longer cast any spells, it can use all five Fource abilities in battle: [[Fire Fource]], [[Frost Fource]], [[Gale Fource]], [[Funereal Fource]], and [[Life Fource]].


====Story====
==={{DQM3}}===
The DragonMan disguised itself as the captain of the army of '''Raguraz''' (see [[Mardra]]). With other monsters disguised as humans, it tried to invade the quiet town but it failed every time due to the protection of the [[Goddess Statue]]. [[Razuel]], a townsperson in Probina believed that the army was after the Goddess Statue, decides to smash the statue in front of the invading army. When he does so, the monsters shed their disguise and lay waste to the town. Using [[Soul Sword|Soul Swords]], they shatter the souls of every person in the town.

====Strategy====
==In Other Languages==
The DragonMan fight is a two-part battle. In the first part, the DragonMan is impossible strong and cannot be beaten. It can attack twice in one turn. It knows Quad Hits and Infermost and its attacks are devastatingly powerful. Use healing spells and keep the party's health up. There will be a cut scene when Razuel restores the Goddess Statue. Then the battle will resume from there. In this form, it is strikingly weak. It has a feeble attack and can only attack once in a turn. The party should have no problem defeating it then.
