Japanese name	アクモ
Romaji	Akumo
Race	Sooty sanguini

Malini (アクモ, Akumo^?) is one of the main character and one of the villains of Dragon Quest Tact.

Characteristics

Malini is a sooty sanguini, having a round, fluffy dark blue body with a pair of red bat wings on his back, large ears, and a long, red pointy tail. On his head, Malini wears a dark cowl that covers his ears and a beaded gold amulet with a red jewel that looks like an evil eye over it.

He frequently plots villainous acts for Rotchester, such as brainwashing monsters to send against the player and their party, but is always inevitably thwarted. This leads to him being punished or reprimanded by the Walking corpse. Although Malini is devious and cunning, he is not particularly intelligent and most of his schemes are not well thought out.

Appearances

Dragon Quest Tact

The player, Mindini, and Majellan first meet Malini during chapter 2, Episode 5: A Shady Guide of Part 1's story, where he attempts to hinder the party from reaching the Bronze Cup by giving them the wrong directions. This leads to the party encountering Robbin' 'Ood deep inside the cave, who challenges them to a fight over their gold and valuables. The player is able to defeat the bandit, who shows them the way out of the cave in exchange for letting him go. This is the first of Malini's many defeats at the hands of the player. Rotchester is furious with Malini after Robbin' 'Ood's defeat, reminding him that their Dark Lord would be furious if the player manages to reach the Master League. Later on, the group encounters Malini again at the Bronze Cup, where he admits that he was trying to send them to their doom. He then sends a reluctant, but brainwashed Golem to fight the player's monsters. The player is able to defeat the Golem and once again puts a stop to Malini's plan. Elsewhere, an apologetic Rotchester swears to the unseen Dark Lord that they won't fail again.
