Appearances[edit | edit source]
Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit | edit source]
By the time the Hero arrives in Jipang, the real Pimiko has been seemingly killed by the five-headed dragon Orochi. The monster then shapeshifted into a duplicate to assume her role as Empress and ordered the villagers to sacrifice young women at an offering slab deep in the northern volcano, ostensibly to prevent the serpent from destroying the village.
In the Super Famicom and Game Boy Color remake, Pimiko can be found alive and well on the upper floor of Jipang's Treasures 'n' Trapdoors track that can only be unlocked via a wish granted by defeating Xenlon after finishing the main game. She seems to be wandering around aimlessly, and mentions that she's not quite sure what she's doing in such a place. As the cell phone ports of the game does not feature the T'n'T board, Pimiko does not appear.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake[edit | edit source]
Pimiko returns as a spectator in the Jipangese monster arena once the player asks Xenlon to create it, having a front-row seat. Unlike in the Super Famicom and GBC versions Pimiko is fully aware that the Hero has saved her beloved homeland and is immensely grateful, stating she is forever indebted.
Dragon Quest of the Stars[edit | edit source]
Pimiko's visage is fully illustrated as all NPCs appear with pictures to accompany their text box, and Orochi is spoken to before the fight.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Pimiko is based on Himiko, a Queen from Japanese history and legend.
- Despite the player being unable to do so, the old man in Grimland can take the form of Pimiko with the usage of the mod rod.
