The Archdemon is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series and was introduced in Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line.
Characteristics
Equipped with almost everything one can think of on a stereotypical demon, the monster bears wings, horns, a spiked tail, and a pitchfork. It wears a pair of green gloves and boots. With stats to match its bulky purple body, these monsters are usually a force to be reckoned with; capable of dealing heavy physical hits, but also casting advanced offensive magics to destroy its opponents. It has particular affinity for explosive magic, being commonly associated with the spell Kaboom.

Trident-toting terrors who flatten foes with mighty magic before bringing their bestial brawn to bear. Rumour has it that minidemons turn into archdemons with age. They certainly share some striking similarities. |
