Robbin' 'Ood is a recurring boss character in the Dragon Quest series. 'E appears three separate times throughout the game, committing 'einous criminal acts in all but one of 'is appearances.

Localization inconsistency

The character currently localized as Robbin Ood has had a very bizarre experience with the English language since the merger of Enix and Square in 2004. Originally, Enix of America simply romanized his name as Kandar, and this remained consistent until the release of the first Joker game. In that title, the character was dubbed Robbin Hood and this name was kept through the localization of the DS version of DQ V.

The localization of the second Joker game created a problem by interpreting カンダタおやぶん (Boss Kandar) as a separate person altogether. The intent that this was an advanced version of the same character was either ignored by Square-Enix's localization staff or simply not understood, and as such was given the name Prince o' thieves. This has lead to confusion among fans, as the only palette swap of the Hoodlum enemy to have anything to do with banditry as been Kandar/Robbin Ood throughout the entire series.

The situation became more convoluted with the localization of the cell phone port of the third game, in which the Robbin hood name was shortened to a more cockeny-accented Robbin Ood. The reason for this is currently unknown.

Robbin ood's henchmen have also suffered inconsistent adaptations into English, with the Robbin huddle enemy that debuts in DQ III being split into two groups when no distinction existed in the original Japanese. An entirely new English name (Merry man) was assigned to these same goons for their return in DQ XI.

Story

Robbin' 'Ood and 'is 'enchmen first appear in the Skyfell Tower west of Khoryv. 'E went and stole the crown from the king of Romaria, an' left the place in such a rut that the 'ero is recruited by the king to retrieve the crown. 'Owever, fightin' the bloke is an optional sidequest, an' failin' to retrieve the crown does not prevent the 'ero from continuin' the game.

Wivhin the tower, Ol' Robbin' attempts to thwart the party by openin' a trap door beneath the group's feet. Upon returnin' to the previous floor, the 'ero finds the ol' geezer has up an' vanished. 'Owever, after leapin' off the edge where Robbin' 'ad been standin', the 'ero finds 'im several floors below. This results in the first genuine boss fight o' the game. After the battle, the 'ero acquires the king o' Romaria's crown after the big sap starts beggin' fer 'is life.

The rotter's second appearance is in the appropriately named Kidnapper's Cave a little nort' west o' Baharata. Robbin' 'Ood an' 'is goons advance in their criminal careers by kidnappin' the luvly couple Gopal Gupta & Tanaya, 'olding 'em fer ransom. Upon freein' the young luvers, the 'ero is confronted by the would-be kingpin 'imself, and meets 'im in melee. After receivin' a second thrashin' from the party, the crook pleads for mercy claimin' all the while that 'e'll change 'is ways fer real this time.

Robbin' 'Ood's final appearance is in the castletown of Tantegel. 'E claims to have changed 'is evil ways an' now acts as a typical NPC. 'E provides the 'ero wiv information about the location of the Sunstone.
