Yangus: Difference between revisions

|Game=''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''

'''Yangus''' (ヤンガス, ''Yangasu'') is a main character in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]'' who accompanies [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|the Hero]] on his quest. A former bandit, Yangus decided to change his ways after his life was saved by the Hero and he swore his undying loyalty to him. He refers to the Hero as "Guv" (short for "Governor") and considers him a true friend.

Originally a bandit from [[Pickham Region|Pickham]], Yangus tried to "go straight", as he himself put it, but because of his appearance people didn't give him much of a chance, which brought him back to a life of crime. However, one fateful day, he tried to make some money off of tolling a bridge; the same bridge, which the [[Hero]], [[King Trode]] and [[Princess Medea|Medea]] were about to cross. Trode refused to pay - the bridge being within his kingdom - causing Yangus to attack the group, but his attack failed and he ended up collapsing the bridge while the Hero, Trode and Medea made it to the other side, leaving Yangus hanging on for his life.

*In the 3DS version of ''VIII'', Yangus is given a significant [[strength]] boost. The extra points start at level 21, and result in a score of 425 at level 99.

*Yangus is the first party member to have already joined the hero prior to the game's beginning. One could count the presence of [[Carver]] and [[Milly]] during the opening of ''VI'', but that sequence is effectively a playable cutscene and the two aforementioned characters are removed immediately afterwards.
