The Minidemon is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King.

It is the same kind of fork-holding monster as an Imp. In Dragon Quest V it is the same color as an imp (which doesn't appear), but its typical color is green.

An NPC Minidemon appears on the Phantom Ship and attacks when spoken to. It respawns after the player returns to the area.

Despite being able to see the Hero and Template:Party when they are in the form of a Monster (Mod Rod in the SFC or GBC version of III) or invisible, it will not attack.

Several NPC Minidemons appear through the game.


Three Minidemons appear in Zamoksva during Chapter 5 until the boss is defeated. The one occupying the kitchen attacks the Hero and party if spoken to. It will not respawn after being defeated.

Several appear in Diabolic Hall and will attack if spoken two unless the party assumes monster form with the Mod Rod.

One appears in the Mine of Mamon after a deady being is unearthed. As with a Weartiger, both wander around aimlessly on B3F.

Once Psaro is recruited in the party during Chapter 6 two of the Minidemons will refrain from attack the party as long as Psaro is present. The Minidemon in the castle tower, however, does as it is loyal to Aamon
