Mandrake mercenary

Dragon Quest monster Mandrake mercenary Japanese りゅうき兵 Romaji ryūki-hei First appearance Dragon Quest VII Old localisation DragonMan

The Mandrake mercenary is both a regular and boss monster that players fight in Dragon Quest VII. It appears as a regular enemy in the Nottagen Cavern and Hubble area (past), and as a boss in Providence. Note that these regions can be done in any order once accessible, so which variant players encounter first will vary. The boss version is a unwinnable due to plotline restrictions, but the second fight is a regular battle.

Of the three Mandrake monsters that can be found in Dragon Quest VII, the regular enemy variant of Mandrake mercenary is weaker and encountered earlier than both the Mandrake major the Mandrake monarch (the latter being the strongest of the three).
