The '''Druid''' (天地雷鳴士 ''Tenchi Raimeishi'', "World-shaking Thundercaller") is a high ranking magical vocation that first appeared in ''[[Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past]]''. Beginning with the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake of ''VII'' in 2013, the Druid's design is based on the traditional vestments of the Japanese Shinto priests.

The Druid also casts spells for less MP, much like the Sage. In order to become a Druid, one must master both the [[Sage]] and [[Luminary]] vocations. The druid has managed to negate most of the physical stat reductions that afflicted the aforementioned classes, having to endure only a slight cut to HP and strength and even enjoying a faint increase to resilience.

The Druid appeared as an advanced vocation starting with Version 4.0 of the game and start at level 50 like the other unlockable vocations. Contrary to the vocation's status as the ultimate magical profession in ''VII'', Druids in ''X'' have a very paltry selection of spells that focus only on general party support. Instead, Druids specialize in [[Summon|summoning]] phantom spirits to aid them in battle as well as the usage of nature-manipulating skills. They can equip [[Fan Weapon Family|fan]]s, [[Wand Weapon Family|wand]]s, and [[Heavy Wand (weapon type)|heavy wand]]s.

===''[[Dragon Quest of the Stars]]''===
In this game, the Druid vocation is unlocked by obtaining it's vocational scroll and by having leveled up the [[Monster Master]] vocation to level 99 or higher. Druids can summon spirits.
 
==Etymology==
Druids were the learned class of people in ancient Celtic tradition, serving as the priests and teachers of society. First recorded approximately in the third century BC, the title translates from the Celtic language as "Knowing the Oak trees". Training for becoming a Druid was strenuous, as written language was not present in Celtic society and all knowledge expected of one bearing the title must be memorized perfectly.
 
Though the use of the title for a vocation that is very clearly inspired by the Japanese Shinto religion seems obtuse at first glance, Druid beliefs and Shinto practices share several points of similarity:
*The presence of souls or life forces inhabiting natural phenomena
*The immortality of the soul
*Reverence for the natural world


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Theurgy is the practice of rituals used to call upon the aid of one or more gods. One who practices theurgy is called a therugist.
*Theurgy is the practice of rituals used to call upon the aid of one or more gods. One who practices theurgy is called a theurgist.
*Ragnarok comes from Norse mythology. It is the time of a great battle between gods and monsters which will herald the end of the gods themselves and the end of the world itself.

*In the 3DS version of Dragon Quest VII, the Druid's outfit is based on traditional vestments worn by Shinto priests. Druids in ''Dragon Quest X'' have the same appearance.
