'''Gracos''' is a recurring | '''Gracos''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} and antagonist in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest VI}} as one of the Dread Fiends. | ||
He is a bulky [[Merman]]-like {{MFamilies}} wielding a [[Gracos' trident|polearm]]. | |||

Gracos differs from this common monster by means of his greater girth, thicker lips, wristbands and weapon: a polearm with a crescent-shaped blade on the end. In his original appearance, Gracos had green scales, changing to blue scales when he reappeared in {{VII}}, which he kept for many years in spinoff games in the series. However, for the [[Nintendo DS]] remake of {{VI}}, Gracos instead had the purple and red color scheme of his descendant. In the [[Nintendo 3DS[] remake of {{VII}} and other games going forward, the sea demon reverted to his original green coloration. | ||
Having first appeared as a boss | Having first appeared as a boss {{MFamilies}}, Gracos typically fulfills that same role in his other appearances and is powerful as such. He possesses great physical might and is adept at using magic and abilities as well, in particular having an affinity for both ice magic and breath attacks. | ||
In {{ | In {{VI}}, Gracos maintains the seal on [[Sorceria]] and defeating him enables access to the city. Gracos is the least competent of the Dread Fiends, sleeping on the job and unintentionally informing the {{Party 7}} of his [[Mortamor|master's]] plans at the slightest inquiry. | ||

When the | Making his second appearance as a boss, Gracos is the one responsible for flooding [[Wetlock]] in the past and must be confronted in order to set things right. When the {{Party 7}} reaches his throne room in the Sunken Citadel, he will send a group of three [[Sunken spirit]]s to fight them, which are not too difficult. Gracos will then challenge the {{Party 7}} himself. [[Florin|Old Man Riffer]] will arrive to lend his aid, playing his torban to allow the spirits to rest. He will also restore the party's {{HP}} and {{MP}} completely before the battle. | ||

The battle against Gracos is one of the toughest the player will have faced thus far. He can attack twice in one round and hit the party very hard. He is immune to [[Sap]] and has a high resistance to [[Dazzle]]. Finally, he has a very high resistance to ice spells and skills so these should be avoided completely. | The battle against Gracos is one of the toughest the player will have faced thus far.

Even still, Gracos shouldn't be taken lightly. [[Woolly Blanket]] or [[Insulatle]] does wonders for this battle, as well as [[Kabuff]] and [[Buff]]. If the player managed to get [[Heavy armour]] from the Lucky Panel, it should be equipped on both the {{Hero 7}} and [[Ruff]]. Otherwise, a [[Magical skirt]] for [[Maribel]] and a [[Magic vestment]] for [[Ruff]] are great options. | ||
The [[Martial Artist]]'s [[Wind Sickles]] should be used regularly, as well as skills such as [[Sword Dance]] and [[Falcon Slash]]. If Maribel has a chance to attack, she should cast [[Frizzle]] regularly. Old Man Riffer can attack and cast [[Bang]] against Gracos, but his damage is negligible. | The [[Martial Artist]]'s [[Wind Sickles]] should be used regularly, as well as skills such as [[Sword Dance]] and [[Falcon Slash]].

It is also recommended that each {{Party 7}} member have at least one [[Antidotal herb]] in case they are {{Envenomate}}d by Gracos's mist. [[Hustle Dance]] can also be a major boon if the player has managed to advance to become a {{Luminary V}}. The battle can be very difficult, as the player is unable to return to the present and change their vocations once the flood has begun. | ||
