Estark the Lord of the Underworld is a prominent recurring villain in the Dragon Quest series of video games. It's a giant, horned, three-eyed insectoid creature that wields a pair of swords.
Not much is revealed about the Lord of the Underworld's past in the main games, but he has a reputation of being one of the strongest monsters in the franchise.
History[]
He made his debut in Dragon Quest IV where he lied dormant in an underground palace just below the Mamon Mine. It was in Psaro's plans to use him for his goal of perfecting the Secret of Evolution and becoming the master of monsterkind, however Psaro believed it was in monster's best interests to also eradicate humankind. Thus, when The Hero and the Chosen Ones snuck into his palace and overheard his plans, they set forth to the mines to stop the demon. After a hard battle, they managed to slay the Lord of the Underworld, just before Psaro and his hordes were arrived to the location, effectively thwarting his plans for the unholy beast.
After his inception in this game, he has appeared in several other ones of the series, including Dragon Quest V as a superboss, Dragon Quest IX as one of the many legacy bosses, in Dragon Quest X version 1.4 and as a recruitable and synthesizable monster in the spin-off series Dragon Quest Monsters (using a Psaro and a Marquis de Léon ). However, one of his most prominent appearances was in the tied-in timeline game Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, where his origins, as well as Psaro's motives of controlling the fiend were revealed.
There are other instances of monsters that look like Estark in Dragon Quest VII. He is blue in Dragon Quest IV and brown in its other game incarnations.
