'''Nimzo''' ('''Mirudraas''' in old translations; '''Mildrath''' in fan translations) is the source of conflict and final boss of [[Dragon Quest V]]. As is the case with most of the series' villains, Nimzo is mostly referred to and not actually encountered until the end of the game, though his pawns and powerful influence do well to wreak havoc in his place.

==Characteristics==

Nimzo initially appears to be an elderly, green-skinned demon~~, though this is merely a ruse to hide his true, grotesque form: a bloated, red demon with massive, wrinkled wings, four arms, and a spike-ended tail~~. He is capable of performing devastating spells and breath attacks in either form and can also call upon Wrecktors and Killing Machines to assist him while in his initial form.

He also possess an ultimate, grotesque form: a bloated, red demon with massive, wrinkled wings, four arms, and a spike-ended tail. It is said that he was once a human long ago, but has since transformed into a monster.

Nimzo's speech in the English DS remake is composed of a font that replaces the English letters used in the rest of the game with Cyrillic letters that resemble them, such as replacing N with И. The overall effect makes Nimzo sound incredibly distinct and alien when compared to other characters and even the narration, hinting towards his position as an ancient and powerful entity.

==~~Name~~==

==Abilities==

~~The title Nimzo goes by,~~ Grandmaster Nimzo, is ~~a stark contrast to~~ the ~~original interpretations~~ of his ~~name~~. ~~The~~ name ~~was likely derived from~~ [~~http://en~~.~~wikipedia.org/wiki/Aron_Nimzowitsch Aron~~ '''~~Nimzo~~'''~~witsch~~]~~, a renowned chess writer~~ and ~~(unofficial) grandmaster by chess standards. The majority of Nimzo'~~s ~~underlings are named after chess pieces, and Nimzo himself refers~~ to ~~his overall plan as a game with his underlings being the pawns, so the name was likely given to tie in with these characteristics~~.

Grandmaster Nimzo is fought at the very end of the game, deep within [[Mt. Zugzwang]]. He is battled twice, first in his normal form, and then again in his ultimate demon form.
