Overkilling Machine

These murderous machines are a force to be reckoned with in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest VI as stronger versions of the Killing Machine series and usually the protectors of ruins and treasures. It's not known who built them or who are they working for.

They carry a sword and a mace for battle and are also able to shoot arrows with the crossbow on their "tail". One advantage is that they don't usually know that many magic spells, they usually tend to attack twice though.
