'''Robbin' 'Ood''' is a character and recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}} that was introduced in {{DQ3}}. He is most infamous for his mini-boss battles in ''III'' and appears three separate times throughout the game, committing heinous criminal acts in all but one of his appearances.

==Appearance and personality==

==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.

In that title, the character was dubbed ''Robbin Hood'' and this name was kept through the localization of the DS version of ''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, stronger 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 common Hoodlum enemies to have anything to do with banditry has been Kandar/Robbin Ood throughout the entire series.

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 [[Robbin' 'oodlum|his henchmen]] first appear in the [[Skyfell Tower]] west of [[Khoryv]], having stolen the crown from the king of [[Romaria]] and leaving the place in chaos. This forces the king to recruit the ~~hero~~ on a sidequest to retrieve the crown. However, performing the sidequest is optional, and failing to retrieve the crown does not prevent the hero from continuing the game.

Robbin' 'Ood and [[Robbin' 'oodlum|his henchmen]] first appear in the [[Skyfell Tower]] west of [[Khoryv]], having stolen the crown from the king of [[Romaria]] and leaving the place in chaos. This forces the king to recruit the {{Hero 3}} on a sidequest to retrieve the crown. However, performing the sidequest is optional, and failing to retrieve the crown does not prevent the hero from continuing the game.

Within the tower, Robbin' attempts to thwart the party by opening a trap door beneath the group's feet. Upon returning to the previous floor, the hero finds the enemy has vanished. However, after leaping off the edge where Robbin' had been standing, the hero finds him several floors below. This results in the first genuine boss fight of the game (assuming the hero doesn't skip the side quest). After the battle, the hero acquires the king of Romaria's crown after Robbin' starts begging for his life.

The monster's second appearance is in the appropriately named [[Kidnapper's Cave]], about northwest of [[Baharata]]. Robbin' 'Ood and [[Robbin' huddle|his goons]] advance in their criminal careers by kidnapping [[Gopal Gupta]] & [[Tanaya]], holding them for ransom. Upon freeing the young lovers, the ~~hero~~ is confronted by the would-be kingpin himself, who challenges him to battle. After receiving a second defeat from the party, the crook pleads for mercy, claiming that he'll change his ways for real.

Robbin' 'Ood's final appearance is in the castle-town of [[Tantegel]]. He claims to have changed his evil ways and now acts as a typical NPC, now providing the Hero with information about the location of the [[Sunstone]].
