The Loss leader is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series which was first encountered in Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation. It is a powerful general in the Demon Lord's army of monsters.
Characteristics
The loss leader resembles a physically-fit, male human with a green skintone and whited out eyes.
He wears a minimal set of dark armor that doesn't cover much of its body, consisting of wide pauldrons, small metal plates that only cover the side of his chest, boots, vambraces, and a metal fauld covering a pair of black briefs. This attire is completed with a long red cape around his neck. In his right hand, he wields a double-bladed weapon. This weapon is similar to its armor and has a metallic handgrip and two sharp, curved metallic blades in each extreme.
In battle he boasts fast and furious fists, hitting foes four times in quick succession. He is also knowledgeable in magic, being most recurring spell being the Frizz line.
