The Hyperanemon is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series.

Introduced in Dragon Quest V, it is a sparsely armoured demon with large wings.

Characteristics

Hyperanemons are Demons with the appearance of muscular men with golden skin, large pair of wings on their backs, and curved horns on their heads. They have a long tail, spikes jutting from their shoulders, and stand with a slightly hunched over stance. The demons have long pointed ears and a third eye on their forehead. All three of their eyes are solid pink, giving them a menacing appearance. Their armour is limited to bracers on their wrists and anklets, straps around their midsection and left shoulders, a codpiece, and a breastplate that only covers the left side of their chest. In battle, they are able to cast high-level wind magic and in some games, are one of the few monsters able to cast the Kazap spell. The demons are also capable of placing dangerous curses on their opponents.

Notable changes in the remakes None

Hyperanemons are not faced until near the end of the game and beyond, appearing in the final dungeon and bonus dungeon. It is possible to recruit a Hyperanemon, but because monsters faced in Mt. Zugzwang can't be recruited the player is only able to recruit one after beating the game and gaining access to the bonus dungeon.

Dragon Quest X

Hyperanemons began appearing from Version 5.2 onward. They are able to send out a Cursed Mist and can cast both Kazap and Kaswoosh.
