The Dead man's soul is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest X. This variant of the Firespirit is a vile wandering spirit that specialises in casting instant death spells.

Characteristics

Dead man's souls are phantasms made of ghastly white flames with a cyan tinge, their sorrowful visages having solid red eyes and a purple maw. In battle, they have the ability to send adventurers to the hereafter with their incantations, but they also have a tendency to become confused and waste their turns, like the rest of their spectral kin. According to their monster info in X, dead man's souls like to say that they're the ones that taught Frostburns how to cast death magic, but they have a disingenuous nature and often tell lies.

Appearances
