With the new pose appearing somewhat more aggressive it was probably easier to display the monster attacking than it would have been with the more eccentrically posed classic design.

However, starting with the [[Super Famicom]] remake of [[Dragon Quest III]] and all later games, he returned to his original pose from [[Dragon Quest II]]. Animations became much more detailed starting with the remake of III, so its likely the developers became more comfortable and proficient at the task of developing unique animations for each monster, shedding the need to recklessly modify classic monster designs ~~and disappointing~~ their loyal fans. However, the remakes of VI kept his unique pose, going so far as to give it brand new animations and official artwork, even though they could have simply reused his appearance and animations from the [[DS]] remakes of [[DQIV|IV]] or [[Dragon Quest V|V]], probably out of faithfulness and respect to the original version of VI and its fans.
