Malroth appears in the artwork for his own card and those depicting his abilities, both in his original demonic and humanoid forms. He was introduced in the first card pack as a legendary rare card and would inflict 4 damage to all units on the field when summoned, including allies. He was eventually reprinted in the seventh card pack, "Strange Tale of Light and Darkness" under the name "Destruction God Sidoh" alongside Hargon. As a reference to his ability to cast [[Fullheal]] in the original version of {{Dragon Quest II}}, all of Malroth's {{HP}} is restored at the end of the opponent's turn. | Malroth appears in the artwork for his own card and those depicting his abilities, both in his original demonic and humanoid forms.

* Malroth appears to be inspired by Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction and one of the three principle deities of Hinduism. Shiva is commonly depicted as having blue skin and multiple arms and is known as the Destroyer. However, Shiva is also known as the Creator as well, as new creation couldn't take place without first having destruction, and Shiva does not take part in blind, needless destruction. | *Malroth appears to be inspired by Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction and one of the three principle deities of Hinduism.

* It is speculated that the gauntlet of bosses in the [[Hall of Hargon]] ([[Atlas]], [[Pazuzu]], [[Belial]]) were, worst case scenario, at least meant to stall the [[Luminaries]] while [[Hargon]] performed the ritual to summon Malroth. Since [[Hargon]] was defeated before the ritual was finished, he sacrificed what little life he had left as a last ditch effort to summon the God of Destruction. This raises the question of how much more powerful Malroth's avatar would be if the ritual was completed properly. | * It is speculated that the gauntlet of bosses in the [[Hall of Hargon]] ([[Atlas]], [[Pazuzu]], [[Belial]]) were, worst case scenario, at least meant to stall the [[Luminaries]] while [[Hargon]] performed the ritual to summon Malroth.

* It's unclear just how much of the demonic Malroth in Builders 2 is the original and how much is Hargon. Since Hargon gave up his soul to power the original and is thus still around circa Builders 2 as a result, it's quite possible the reason both Hargon and his illusion world persisted was due to this soul fusion creating a link sustaining both, and since the demonic Malroth largely reflects Hargon's own desires, the demonic one in Builders 2 seems to be a mix of Hargon's own persona and the more negative aspects of the Builders 2 version of Malroth as a humanoid combined. | * It's unclear just how much of the demonic Malroth in {{Builders 2}} is the original and how much is [[Hargon]].
