Trivia

  • The shogum is in fact one of the ten pieces of the destroyed god Zenus of Dragon Quest IX, which is alluded to by his searching for nine "companions" in several of his in-game descriptions. These companions are the other bodies parts of Zenus that are found in the grottoes of Dragon Quest IX, being the bosses of said grottoes with the exception of the bosses Tyrannosaurus Wrecks and Greygnarl, who are not related to the body parts of Zenus whatsoever.
