Near the end of the game, Zoma is revealed to be the master of the archfiend [[Baramos]], whom had been previously alluded to as the final boss to the game. Upon the death of his main and chief servant, Zoma's voice roars throughout the throne room of [[Aliahan]] castle, stating his intent to plunge the "[[Overworld (Dragon Quest III)|world of light]]" into darkness and that the {{Hero 3}} is a fool for assuming that he had won peace. This proclamation sends the [[King of Aliahan]] into a deep despair, forbidding the {{Hero 3}} and company from speaking of Zoma. | Near the end of the game, Zoma is revealed to be the master of the archfiend [[Baramos]], whom had been previously alluded to as the final boss to the game.

*In the original version of {{III}}, Zoma's | *Zoma is depicted with an inconsistent number of fingers. | ||
*In the original version of {{III}}, Zoma's Shroud of SHadows uses his normal colour pallet and his weakened state uses the bleaker colours due to a glitch. This error was corrected in the {{Super Famicom}} remake. | |||
:*It is speculated that this was not an error, and that Zoma was meant to take a different form once the Sphere of Light is used. This is supported by concept art found in ''[[Dragon Quest Illustrations]]'' that depicts a monster reminiscent of the [[hellspawn]] next to Zoma, and Yuji Horii's remarks that the ROM for ''III'' was completely full by the end of development. If this speculation is true, then it is possible that the duller colour scheme was chosen to signify that the fiend was weakened due to there not being enough room for a new sprite on the cartridge. | |||
