The Silhouette is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation. It was originally colored blue-green in its debut but changed to red with its reappearance in the sixth game, and remained that way until XI where it returned to being blue-green.
The malefic moans of the murdered given form, which float into battle like a fiery shadow, doing the deadly Death Dance that has a chance to slay all enemies where they stand. A force to be feared, these monsters are astoundingly resistant to all manner of elements and ailments in each appearance. In later games in the series, the spectres gained the ability to breathe out ice-cold breath from their maws and even pure darkness as part of their offensive repertoire.
These shape-shifting shadows are formed from the fury-filled souls of men murdered in cold blood. To assuage their anger, they attack any adventurer who approaches—so approach at your peril.
Silhouette appears as a B-rank monster of the Inorganic family as part of the limited Dragon Quest III event. It can be recruited from Chapter 4, Episode 2: Baramos Castle 1 at any difficulty, eventually being recruitable from Chapter 16, Episode 7: A Sinister Visitor and Hard Chapter 3, Episode 1: Escape! in the main storyline. The silhouette can participate in the Armful, Wax murderer, and Lleviathan's Battle Roads as a party member.
