Malroth

"This deity of the damned enjoys nothing more than the sacrificed souls of his most sincere followers. Mmmmm!"

- Dragon Quest IX Bestiary

Malroth (Sidoh in the Game Boy games) is the final boss of the Famicom/NES game, Dragon Quest II (also known as Dragon Warrior II), as well as its MSX, Super Famicom, Game Boy Color and iOS/Android remakes. He's a god of destruction who demands sacrifices. It was the deity that Hargon and his cult worshipped and he was able to summon it as a last resort before his defeat at the hands of the heroes.

Appearance
It resembles a reptilian green (sometimes blue) frilled reptillian demon with a yellow belly, yellow eyes, four arms, a pair of wings and a snake for a tail. It can breathe fire and heal himself using the spell Full Heal.

History
Malroth is only mentioned occasionally within the game and does not truly appear until the very ending. After its original appearance, it has become a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest Monsters series as well as other spin-offs.
