Murdaw
Dragon Quest VI
File:Murdaw artwork.png
Sprite(s)
Japanese name	ムドー
Romaji	Mudou
Title	Dread Fiend

Murdaw (ムドー romanized as Mudou, Mudo in fan translations) appears as the primary antagonist in Dragon Quest VI. He terrorizes the world, and any who challenge him never return. As soon as the game begins, the player character, Carver, and Milly go to fight Murdaw. Upon reaching him, he defeats the party with ease and banishes them from his sight.

Characteristics

Murdaw is one of the four Dread Fiends, and is the first you will encounter. Though he is the weakest of the group, he is by far the most effective at causing chaos. His traps are devilishly clever, locking the kingdom of Somnia in a futile war in the upper world and completely disabling the kingdom in the lower by locking the royal family in an unwaking slumber and spiriting the prince away.

Murdaw also plans far in advance and recognized that Alltrades Abbey would produce endless enemies for him if not sealed away. Defeating him allows access to the vocation system. Murdaw is fought three times, once in the upper world and twice below.

Murdaw gets serious in round two, and fights at full power. Though he loses his flame resistance, he more than makes up for that loss in sheer offense.

Murdaw appears as a Legacy Boss in Dragon Quest IX. His map can be dropped from Baramos at higher levels (and thus can be obtained multiple times). He's slightly more powerful, and relies on debuffs rather than attack magic. Similar to Baramos, Murdaw is vulnerable to ice magic.

4-8	Somnia boots	25%	Yellow Orb	5%

81-90	Dhoulmagus's Map	35%	Yellow Orb	9%

In addition, he will always drop a mini medal.
