The Merderer is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest VII.

Characteristics

Muscled merman that trawl the seas and wash into wandering ships only when the tides are at their strongest. They smash their way through the bows of ships with their massive tridents and attempt to freeze every sailor aboard with an ice breath blast and a poison them all with with venomous breath, though their slow thinking sometimes mean they need time to decide on their next attack.
