|romanji=Yamata no Orochi

The '''Orochi''' is a many headed {{MFamilies}} found in {{DQ3}} and a servant of [[Baramos]]. In contrast to her bestial appearance, she is a cruely cunning snake capable of manipulating people to further her own ends.

The design of Orochi is the one of an enormous dragon that is covered in green scales and has five heads instead of one. At the top of each head there are grey, purplish colored crests that stem from the front of the head to the base of the neck. In each limb there are four fingers that end up in white, sharp claws. It has red eyes with no pupils.

The Orochi masquerades as [[Pimiko]]–the queen of [[Jipang]], and uses the disguise to create a despicable ruse: Pimiko has reached a compromise with "Orochi", agreeing that if the {{MFamilies}} is given sacrifices of young girls at regular intervals then she will not attack the village directly.

When the {{Hero 3}} and {{Party 3}} defeated the Orochi in her [[Orochi's Lair|lair]], she dropped the [[Orochi sword]] from her tail and retreats through a portal to [[Pimiko]]'s Palace in [[Jipang]]. Stepping through the portal, the player sees [[Pimiko]] severely wounded and being tended to by a panicking handmaiden. When it became clear that the Orochi was pretending to be [[Pimiko]], the monster telepathically spoke to the {{Hero 3}} and struck a bargain: keep quiet about her secret and allow her to continue gorging herself on maidens, and she will spare the lives of the {{Party 3}}.

Orochi is hemorrhaging considerably after the first battle and is in no position to threaten anyone: {{Hero 3}} and company battle the beast once more, slaying her and freeing the people of [[Jipang]].

Orochi appears as an A-rank monster of the [[Dragon family]] and can be unlocked by collecting Orochi Marks from the Cave of Trials. She reprises her role in the original ''Dragon Quest III'' event, mistaking [[Mindini]] for a sacrifice and is fought by [[Majellan]] and the party. After her defeat, she spits Mindini farther into [[Manoza]]. She is also fought in [[Armful]]'s Battle Road in Chapters 6 and 7, the former of which she attacks Armful for using a female [[Walking corpse]] as a human maiden and the latter for workout training after getting chubby from eating maidens. She helps get Armful back into [[Baramos]] (and indirectly) [[Zoma]]'s army after she is defeated the first time.
