Equipped with almost every bit of paraphernalia one can think of being owned by 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.

In many bestiaries where the Archdemon appears, it is stated that the Minidemons are the juvenile forms of Archdemons even though, with the exception of DQV, their colors do not match up. The Imp, however, has a purple color scheme, which is used by the Minidemon in DQV.
Archdemon first appears in Version 1.0 of the game in the boss battle against Nelgel. After taking a certain amount of damage, he will summon a pair of archdemons and a Belial to fight against the adventurers.
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.
