The dark sea-diva is a monster that appears exclusively in Dragon Quest VIII. Its name a play on the term "deep sea diver".

Characteristics

Dark sea-divas are walking masses of toxic black sludge dredged up from the seas of the World of Darkness. They carry crudely-carved microphones made from driftwood in their hands and wear black crowns on their heads. The singers use their microphones to perform silly songs in order to incapacitate groups of enemies and have some support magic at their disposal, as well. Unlike its variants, the dark sea-diva is part of the demon family instead of being an aquatic monster or composed of plant matter. Oddly enough, it also has the distinction of being the only monster originating from the World of Darkness that never migrates over to the World of Light.
