The boss troll is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest III.
It is a powerful leader among trollkind, appearing as a boss in some games.
Characteristics
Great green goons that love to smack and smash anything and everything with their clobbering clubs. Goofily garbed in garish dark magenta fluffy outfits, they're not to be underestimated in battle despite their foolish fashion sense. They often make deadly desperate attacks that can down an adventurer with their great spiked clubs. Sometimes they'll attempt to Shove a single enemy right out of battle and out of action.
In Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince and in the HD-2D remake of Dragon Quest III, boss troll's pink lips were changed into green lips, likely to avoid the resemblance of a blackface.
Appearances
A boss troll is acting as the King of Manoza when the party first arrives there. The Hero can challenge him to a boss battle after acquiring Ra's Mirror from the Manoza Cave, which reveals the king's true form.

The Boss troll's role in the story is the same, though it's revealed to be a servant of Baramos, confirming a detail from the novel, CD Theater, and item story. As with all boss monsters, the false king burns through status ailments one turn faster than a plebeian beast would.

A pair of boss trolls are faced at the end of the optional Troll Maze dungeon, preparing to cook the Chancellor of Argonia, his wife, and their maid. The party will interrupt them in the middle of their preparations and face them in battle. These boss trolls have nearly double the amount of HP as those faced in regular encounters, though it should not be a difficult encounter.

- Ten boss trolls must be defeated in order to complete Quest #84: Beauty and Beyond and they must be stolen from in Quest #126: Puff-Puff Performance.
Boss trolls appeared from the beginning of the game. Like their previous appearance, they can land Desperate attacks, but will just as easily waste their turns licking their clubs instead.

| Field Notes |
These burly bruisers are rough enough and tough enough to order regular trolls around. They're known to make a mean human hotpot, so if these grisly gourmands lick their lips, you may be on the menu! |
