'''Geyzer''' is a monster in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]'' and is also the first boss of the game. He is a red [[Merman]] with a partially swollen forehead that is scarred at the center.

==History==

Several years prior to the start of story, the fortuneteller [[Kalderasha]] had visited the Waterfall Cave to dispose of his crystal ball, throwing it into the waterfall at the end of the cave. Unbeknownst to Kalderasha, Geyzer was the master of the same waterfall and wound up getting struck in the head by the discarded crystal ball. This event left Geyzer with the scar on his forehead and a degree of brain-damage that impeded his speech, making him get words wrong nearly every sentence he spoke. Constantly pained by his wound, Geyzer swore to get revenge on the 'tortune feller' and placed the crystal ball aloft near his waterfall in the hopes that it would lure back the owner.

Geyzer is essentially a red palette swap of the Merman monster first introduced in [[Dragon Quest III]] but having a distinguishing trait in his forehead which is swollen and bears a cross-shaped scar from when the crystal ball hit him. His speech regularly contains mistakes, such as, but not limited to, saying similar sounding words in the wrong order, switching the first letters of two words, or switching words around completely.

Geyzer claims to be the master of the waterfall the player comes across at the end of the Waterfall Cave and has a decided grudge against the fortune teller who injured him. When trying to retrieve the crystal ball, Geyzer will swim up from the waterfall, introduce himself, and then question the party as to whether or not they are the owners of the crystal ball. If the party says no, Geyzer will dismiss them and go back into hiding, but if they say yes he will attempt to exact his revenge, making it clear that he doesn't actually know ''who'' threw the crystal ball other than their being a fortune teller.
