Amos is a burly man whose attire consists of a blue, sleeveless gambeson that terminates into Roman-style flaps at his waist. Underneath that is form-fitting black tights that extend past his head to form a hood underneath a blue, gold-rimmed helmet accessorized with two small wings. Around his waist are two brown belts from where a dull green traveller's bag at his right hip and a sheathe at his left are attached. He wears baggy beige pants that are tucked into black leather boots taped over with yellow bandages. He has light blue eyes, brown hair, and is usually seen wielding a saber.

Despite his status as an optional character, Amos is fully compatible with [[party chat]] in the remakes of ''Dragon Quest VI''. This greatly expands upon his personality, revealing a chipper, candid folk hero who makes up for his lack of sophistication with a strong desire to help and protect others. Though by no means dull, Amos has a simplistic view on life and naturally sees the brighter side of situations and people. Being the oldest human member of the party, he sometimes displays surprising wisdom that rivals that of [[Nevan]] and [[Milly]]. Amos will reveal after speaking with the queen of [[Howcastle]] that he was regarded as a coward in his early days, which drove him to grow stronger. He has a bit of a fascination with royalty, and is always excited to meet the king and/or queen of any realms that the party visits. He is also very fond of his mother, and will frequently mention her when talking about his past life.

"You never know how life's goin' to change! I've been goin' through a lot of changes of my own recently! "

—Amos, in Amor (DS, Cell phone)

Amos is a character in the Dragon Quest series that appears as an optional party member in Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation. After being bitten on the backside while saving some townsfolk from monsters, he has developed a terrible case of nightly transfiguration and becomes an unwitting menace to the very town he protects.

Appearance and personality

Amos is a burly man whose attire consists of a blue, sleeveless gambeson that terminates into Roman-style flaps at his waist. Underneath that is form-fitting black tights that extend past his head to form a hood underneath a blue, gold-rimmed helmet accessorized with two small wings. Around his waist are two brown belts from where a dull green traveller's bag at his right hip and a sheathe at his left are attached. He wears baggy beige pants that are tucked into black leather boots taped over with yellow bandages. He has light blue eyes, brown hair, and is usually seen wielding a saber.

Despite his status as an optional character, Amos is fully compatible with Party Chat in the remakes of Dragon Quest VI. This greatly expands upon his personality, revealing a chipper, candid folk hero who makes up for his lack of sophistication with a strong desire to help and protect others. Though by no means dull, Amos has a simplistic view on life and naturally sees the brighter side of situations and people. Being the oldest human member of the party, he sometimes displays surprising wisdom that rivals that of Nevan and Milly. Amos will reveal after speaking with the queen of Howcastle that he was regarded as a coward in his early days, which drove him to grow stronger. He has a bit of a fascination with royalty, and is always excited to meet the king and/or queen of any realms that the party visits. He is also very fond of his mother, and will frequently mention her when talking about his past life.

Starting with the localization of the DS remake, Amos has a speech quirk where he will sometimes refer to himself in the third person.

This section is a stub. You can help by expanding it.

When the party arrives in Scrimsley, the townspeople make it clear that the party should leave town. After talking to some of the yokels, the party learns about Amos, who is the town's local hero. If the party stays at the inn, they will wake at night finding a monster attacking the town. When defeated, the monster is revealed to be Amos. In the morning, the party can go to Amos and if they tell him that he is periodically transforming into a monster, he will leave so that he will no longer threaten the lives of his fellow townspeople. However, if the party does not tell Amos about his condition and instead acquires the Seeds of reason from Hazy Heights and makes him eat them, he will involuntarily transform. Before the party can engage his beastly form in battle once more, Amos will reveal that he can shapeshift at will and returns to his human self. He will then join the party, heading out of town to hop into the Wagon.

Strangely, Amos will not be given an ending cinematic even if the player recruits him. He will be present at castle Somnia during the finale, however, and can be spoken to as with any other party member present.

Lucky Dip antics

Rank Antic
1 Merrily dances and sings!
2 Amos remembers a funny joke he heard once!

"Ha ha ha!"

Amos is laughing too hard to think about fighting right now!

3 Amos begins drawing the enemy's caricature! Wow, what a likeness! Mistaking Amos for an ally, the enemy heals his wounds! Amos recovers 50 HP!

≈≈≈

But it doesn't look anything like the enemy!

4 Amos begins singing to himself!

"Laaa la laaa..."

The enemy listens intensely to the song! The enemy is lost in Amos' sweet voice.

5 Amos begins singing loudly! His voice is terribly off-key! The enemies flee!
6 Amos takes a swig of some booze he smuggled along!

"(glug glug glug)...Hic!"

Amos gets a little tipsy! Amos falls asleep!

"It's hard to credit now, but when old Amos was a nipper, folks used to call me a coward.

That's why I rolled my sleeves up and trained myself in the arts of scrappin' and adventurin' and so on.

...Beg your pardon! Old Amos got a bit carried away down memory lane. Don't mind me!"

Amos, in Howcastle (DS, Cell phone)

Why can't I transform into a slime...?"

Amos, in Slimopolis (DS, Cell phone)

Quote

I reckon I could take on a couple of Murdaws without the least bit of bother!"

Amos, in the overworld (DS, Cell phone)

Quote

"Well, we can't promise victory...
Hang on – maybe we should!

Old Amos promises we'll be victorious!
...How's that?"
