Slabō

In Dragon Quest V, when you recruit Slimes as party members, the first one is automatically named “Slalin,” and the second is named “Slabow.” This naming pattern continues with unique preset names up to the fourth recruit, and the fact that each monster type has its own set of distinctive names became a hot topic among fans.

DRAGON QUEST

The runes engraved on the Sword of Erdrick spell out the game title “DRAGON QUEST” itself, a tradition carried throughout the series. While this is seldom explained directly in the games, the meticulous attention to detail often becomes a topic of conversation among fans.

two years older

Bianca is two years older than the protagonist. From the moment they first meet as children, Bianca looks out for the protagonist and treats them kindly. As the game progresses, their bond grows even deeper. Her age, while subtle, serves as an important piece of background information that adds depth to their relationship in the story.

treasure chest

A monster that disguises itself as a treasure chest and lies in wait for adventurers. The tense moment when you open the chest, excited to see what items might be inside, only to be attacked, has shocked countless players. In some series, it’s a terrifying foe that unleashes instant-death spells or punishing attacks, leaving many players traumatized. It’s a creature that lets you experience what it feels like to be an adventurer.

Chimera Wings

It’s a type of item that instantly transports you to any town you’ve previously visited. In many titles it has the same effect as the spell “Zoom,” and it’s a familiar staple that has appeared since the very first game in the series. Literally, it’s the wing of a monster called a “Chimera,” yet it mysteriously exists even in entries where the Chimera doesn’t appear as a monster.

17 years old

The official age of the central character in Dragon Quest IV, the Legendary Hero, is 17. The story depicts his awakening as a hero and his adventure to save the world alongside various companions. Although the age is rarely stated explicitly in the game, this setup has been beloved by fans throughout the series.

Radatome Castle

At the start of the game, the protagonist is in the throne room of Tantegel (Radatome) Castle. Because this was the first game in the series and it was necessary to tell players what to do, the game created a situation where you could not leave the throne room until you received an explanation from the King about the purpose of your journey. You could say that the flow of giving players a brief explanation in a town or castle at the beginning of the story was born here.
