The Ragin' Contagion is a boss monster in Dragon Quest IX and a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series.
Appearance[]
An apparition of an otherworldly disease that manifests itself as a spirit to attack the player. Composed almost entirely of gas, the Ragin' Contagion boasts a pink hue with greener, more solid, vapours flowing freely from its gaping mouth. It is mostly translucent except for its three floating eyeballs that can turn and look at the character even through its own body.
Personality[]
An insane disease monster, it speaks in a manner associated with the Deep South of the United States and ends with a "Yeehaw!"

Description: The very essence of illness, it was sealed up in the Quarantomb for a century, but came back to curse Coffinwell once more.
This toxic pox was created to ensure that the nameless terror that slept in the Quarantomb stayed sealed inside forever. | |||||

It is recommended to be Level 18-20 for the Ragin' Contagion, though this is relatively easy to achieve by grinding using Metal slimes in the Quarantomb. The Ragin' Contagion is the first boss to attack twice per turn, and also uses debuff magic such as Deceleratle and Kasap, which you can counter; Mages can use Acceleratle by this point, and your Priest can use Buff, though it is single-targeting and so not really worth trying. The Contagion's regular attack can inflict Poison, so have some Antidotal Herbs or the Squelch spell handy.
The Contagion is weak to Fire, and so Mages can cast Frizz while your physical fighters attack and your Priest keeps them healed.

Trivia[]
- Although the people of Coffinwell fall ill, the Ragin' Contagion is never seen attacking the town. However, the Ragin' Contagion's sprite is seen emitting a smoke of some sort, which could mean the illness is airborne in nature.
- The Ragin' Contagion's name and Southern US accent are a play on the phrase "Ragin' Cajun".
