Hunter mech is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series.
Characteristics[]
Hunter mechs are similar to killing machines: they are quadrupedal, one-eyed robots armed with a crossbow and sword. Their color scheme is the only real change in appearance, with hunter mechs sporting a scheme of golds, grays, and purples. Their darker gray areas are more of a dull teal color in their earlier appearances.
In its original appearance the hunter mech did not have a sword and was missing a quiver to hold its crossbow bolts. This was changed in later installments.
