Malroth

Malroth is a major character appearing in Dragon Quest Builders 2. He accompanies the player as a helpful NPC for the majority of the game.

Appearance
Malroth has spiky black hair, pointed ears and bright red eyes.

Personality
In his human state, he has no memory of being the Master of Destruction. He has a somewhat violent disposition, which escalates as the Builder's adventure progresses, causing others to fear him. He also has a somewhat morbid personality, which is evident even upon his first meeting with the Builder, where he is excited to get a closer look at the dead bodies laying on the beach after the ship crashed. He tends to feel at home in dark subterranean places and shrines dedicated to Hargon and the Master of Destruction, though he is does not know why he feels this way.

Malroth demonstrates a lack of knowledge on many basic concepts, such as "love" and "parties", being confused by Babs's many admirers on Khrumbul-Dun, and the small party Lulu arranges for him and the Builder on the Isle of Awakening after escaping Skelkatraz. He develops a habit of high-fiving the Builder as a celebratory gesture, but he is unsure of what made him want to do so. He develops a friendship with the Builder over the course of their adventure. His attachment to the Builder lasts even after Hargon forces him into his true form.

Dragon Quest Builders 2
On the Isle of Awakening. Malroth decides to accompany the Builder after being intrigued by the Builder's power to create items and materials, an ability he distinctly lacks. During the course of the game, a friendship starts to form between the two. He also begins to hear an unidentified voice in his head after certain tablet tragets are completed, attempting to guide his actions, similarly to how the Builder in Dragon Quest Builders heard the voice of Rubiss. Malroth grows more powerful the more Tablet Targets that are completed, and his desire for destruction grows larger.
