The Bones of Baramos is a monster that was first introduced in Dragon Quest III. A literal shell of his former self, Baramos' rotten corpse is reanimated by Zoma's sorcery to delay the party's advance.

Characteristics

The design of Bones of Baramos is merely a different color scheme of Skelegon. Although their designs differ in two principal reasons: the color of the bones and the color of the eyes. The color of the bones is a deep shade of purple (since purple is the color of death in Japan) and the color of the pupils of the eyes are white, instead of blue.

However, in Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland 3D and in Iru and Luca's Marvelous Mysterious Key his design is completely different: instead of being the skeleton of Baramos is actually a zombie, reflecting the monster's Japanese name. This is proven by the fact that some flesh is still held into the bones and because this zombie still wears the cape that Baramos wore in life. The skin shown is pale green, really zombie-like, the bones are still purple but the eyes are shiny and blue. The cape's colors are more darker and the cape itself has been torn in different sections

Trivia

  • Due to being a pallet swap in his original design, the zombified Baramos is shown to have wings when his original artwork and sprites do not convey or allude to these limbs at all.
