The Chasmonaut is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first introduced in Dragon Quest II. It is an undead foot soldier serving in the Demon Lord's armies.

Characterstics

Chasmomauts are skeletal warriors with yellowing bones that are clad in red and pink armor who carry a longsword and shield into battle. The shield bears the symbol of the Children of Hargon on it. They have a chance to drop the shields they carry, which will curse any adventurer with the misfortune to equip them. After a nearly 30 year absence in the series, the skeletons made their reappearance in Dragon Quest XI.

Description		Knights who, having wished never to die, were brought back by diabolical forces. The jaunty angle they walk at speaks to their cavalier disposition.

A chasmonaut is faced in the boss battle with the Headless Honcho, along with a Skelegon, a Skeleton swordsman, and a Vicious grim gryphon. In the Nintendo 3DS version and the 2D mode of the Definitive Edition, four chasmonauts fight alongside the Headless honcho instead.
