'''Malroth''' (シドー, ''Shidō''), also known as the '''Master of Destruction''' (破壊神, ''Hakaishin''), is the final boss of the video game ''[[Dragon Quest II]]''. Malroth is not mentioned in his debut game until the finale, except for a false idol bearing his likeness which is found in a cave and is needed to uncover the [[Cave to Rendarak]]. Malroth can use the spell of [[Fullheal]] in his original appearance, leading to infamy amongst fans and adding to the already considerable challenge of ''DQII''.

==Trivia==
*Malroth appears to be inspired by Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction and one of the three principle deities of Hinduism. Shiva is commonly depicted as having blue skin and multiple arms and is known as the Destroyer. However, Shiva is also known as the Creator as well, as new creation couldn't take place without first having destruction, and Shiva does not take part in blind, needless destruction.

*It is speculated that the gauntlet of bosses in Hargon's castle (Atlas, Pazuzu, Belial) were, worst case scenario, at least meant to stall the Luminaries while Hargon performed the ritual to summon Malroth. Since Hargon was defeated before the ritual was finished, he sacrificed what little life he had left as a last ditch effort to summon the God of Destruction. This raises the question of how more powerful Malroth's avatar would be if the ritual was completed properly.

*His human form in Dragon Quest Builders 2 is voiced by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenjiro_Tsuda Kenjiro Tsuda], though he doesn't talk and only makes various sounds to indicate his mood. In [https://twitter.com/DQ_RIVALS/status/1227177547030384640 Dragon Quest Rivals], he can be heard speaking for the first time.

* The splitting of Malroth into good and bad halves is reminiscent of the characters Kami and Piccolo from [[Akira Toriyama]]'s ''Dragon Ball'' manga. The two were originally an unnamed being whose expelled inner darkness manifested as a violent doppelganger.
