- For the Troll character from Dragon Quest Heroes II, see Donk (Troll).
Donk is a recurring spell in the Dragon Quest series. When cast, it reduces an enemy's HP by a fixed amount. Resistance to this spell is based on accuracy, rather than damage mitigation. Its successor, Kadonk, affects a wider range of enemies.
The spell itself first appeared in Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai. However, in the manga, the spell itself was gravity-based and creates a high-pressure gravity field to attack the opponent.
