The Maulrus is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest IV.

It is a purple seafaring variant of the Tuskateer.

Characteristics

Maulruses are burly anthropomorphic walruses with golden tusks whose bodies are covered in a thick purple hide. In an unused sprite for the NES version, it originally had a grey hide with white tusks. The pinnipeds can only be encountered at sea and their bulk allows them to slowly recover from their injuries in battle. In spinoff games, the Maulrus has gained an affinity with ice attacks.

Trivia

The Maulrus has the distinction of only appearing in remake versions of Dragon Quest IV. Although it has a sprite and stats in the original Famicom version of the game, it cannot be encountered anywhere. It shares this in common with four other monsters that can be encountered at sea: Axolotl, Glugworm, Mangler fish, and Terroranodon.
