Description

Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest IV has many different changes that occur throughout both the original game, and some new ones that are exclusive to the enhanced remake.

Animal

In the Prologue chapter of the enhanced remake, the Hero's friend Eliza shows off her new spell 'Morph'. This chapter does not appear in the NES version.

Animal

During Chapter 3, the Merchant Taloon happens upon a small town, Foxville. There, he hears rumors that the women are not what they seem. They have trapped the architect needed for bridge repairs.

Later, when Taloon arrives with a dog, he learns the truth.

Note: The name of this village was changed to The Hamlet North of Ballymoral in the DS Remake.

Gender/Female

At the beginning of Chapter 5, the Hero's (either male or female as chosen by the player) Hometown is attacked by monsters, who are trying to kill the Hero. The Hero's friend Celia (or Eliza in the remake) hides the hero, and then uses the spell of 'transform' ('morph' in the remake) to change into a copy of the Hero. She is slain by the monsters.

Gender/Male/Female

The hero (can either be male or female as chosen by the player) later learns the spell of "transform". This spell can be used to become any of the other characters in the party. When they change their shape, they have the other persons attacks and spells, so they become "The Spitting Image" of the other character.

Note: This ability has been removed from the remakes as it was originally in the game to allow the player the opportunity to use the abilities of a party member. In the remakes, the Party A.I. can be changed to follow orders, which allows for complete control.

Human to Monster

Mara (Maya in the enhanced remake), the female dancer who can cast fire attack spells, learns a spell BeDragon that changes her into a large dragon that can "emit a violent blaze."

Note: This name of this spell is changed to 'Puff' in the DS remake.

Gender/Male/Female/Monster/Animal

As with Dragon Warrior III, this game also contains a Staff of Change, which in this game is called the Staff of Transform.

Using the Staff of Transform on the field will change your entire party into a different character (Male, Female, Animals, or Monsters.)

When you change into a monster, you can scare towns people and it is required that you are one of the beasts so that you can take part in the meeting at Dire Palace to hear Saro/Psaro speak of Esturk.

Note: This name of this item is changed to 'Mod Rod' in the DS remake. 'Dire Palace' was renamed 'Diabolic Hall' in the DS remake.

Monster to Human

There is a monster called Imposter (Float-o-copier in the remake), that can cast transform (Morph) and take the form and skills of anyone in your party. The biggest danger is that when they become Cristo (Kiryl), they have a very good chance of success using Beat (whack) and Defeat (thwack).

Human to Monster

Throughout the game, your party learns of the "Secret of Evolution" that Edgar (Later Mahabala) accidentally discovered when he was working trying to perfect Alchemy (turning other metals into gold).

Balzack, Edgar's apprentice is the first to use it.
