Atlas is a monster in the Dragon Quest game series.
Appearance
Atlases are hulking orange cyclopes with a horn on their heads, an oaken club in their hands, and a blue toga wrapped around their chests and waists.
Characteristics
Much like the ancient Titan they were named after, Atlases are all at once imposing, strong, and slow to act. A properly equipped party will find them mostly inaccurate insofar as hitting their intended targets, but they also tend to land critical hits more than most other monsters, making them a priority to remove as soon as possible.

Atlas is a heavy-hitting orange cyclops who resides in fairly high levelled grottoes. Alike most other grotto bosses in Dragon Quest IX subtle hints appear to say that Atlas is one of the pieces of the shattered almighty, Zenus.

Atlas strikes twice per turn, and has enormous attack. His only skill is Crackerwhack, an attack skill that hits the entire party at once. He does not know disruptive wave, so kabuff is highly recommended. The Paladin coup de grace, Knight Watch, is also useful, as this can tie him up for several turns.
Strategy:
You'll want to have at least one Sage with you, and a Paladin. Your Sage should cast Twocous Pocus on the first turn if it can, if not then just go straight to Kabuff. Afterwards, you'll want to apply Funereal Fource and Gritty Ditty to your party. As Atlas doesn't Disruptive Wave, you won't have to constantly renew your Kabuff, so if you have access to it and you're not constantly healing your party, try to use Channel Anger and then use Kazam or Kazammle on him for damage support. With or without Twocous Pocus, this will do a decent amount of damage.
