The Orc king is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest II. It is a stronger, blue-furred variant of the Orc that has taken up spellcasting.

Characteristics

Blue as cornflowers, the high-ruling hogs bring significantly more magical mayhem to battle than their subjects, either healing allies with Midheal or reviving them with Zing. These anthropomorphic boars wear simple brown clothing tied with a rope belt and wield long spears with a purple shaft.
