'''Nimzo''' is the source of conflict and final boss of {{DQ5}}. As is the case with most of the series' villains, Nimzo is mostly referred to and not actually encountered until the very end of the game, though his pawns and powerful influence do well to wreak havoc throughout the game. He resides in the sinister fortress at [[Mt. Zugzwang]], where [[Madalena]] is held captive.

==Characteristics==
Nimzo initially appears to be an elderly, green-skinned demon. He is capable of performing devastating spells and breath attacks in either form and can also call upon [[Wrecktor (Dragon Quest V)|Wrecktors]] and [[Killing machine|Killing Machines]] to assist him while in his initial form. He also possess an ultimate, grotesque form: a bloated, red demon with massive, wrinkled wings, four arms, and a spike-ended tail. It is said that he was once a human long ago, but has since transformed into a monster.

Nimzo's speech in the English DS remake is composed of a font that replaces the English letters used in the rest of the game with Cyrillic letters that resemble them, such as replacing N with И. The overall effect makes Nimzo sound incredibly distinct and alien when compared to other characters and even the narration.

When the player talks to him, he reveals that even [[Bishop Ladja]] is not important and his minions were "mere" players in his masterminded evil plan.

==Backstory==
In the original {{Super Famicom}} version, Nimzo was given no back story, though most players assumed he was a demon. In the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Sony PlayStation#PlayStation|PS2]] remakes, 2 monsters, 1 soldier and one book revealed he was in fact a human.

A book in [[Lofty Peak]] called ''The Will Of Our Leader'' revealed he is a deity born of "lowly disciples" implying he was born of poverty. The book also reveals he soon became the Monarch of Lofty Peak and was wiser than wisdom itself. Unfortunately he took the [[Secret of Evolution]] and turned himself into a monster.

The citizens tried, but failed, to take the evil out of him and "Even now, he waits, where no sun shall ever shine, for the Great one to arrive, the [[Hero's Son (Dragon Quest V)|one true hero]]".

Nimzo is immune to [[Crack]], Ice breath, [[Woosh]], and '''all''' status ailments when in this form. Additionally, he has a 20% resistance to [[Frizz]], [[Sizz]], [[Bang]], and fire breath. He periodically summons [[Killing machine]]s and [[Wrecktor]]s to assist him, and will regenerate 50 HP per round. Though he has no resistance at all to [[zap]], it is better to conserve MP for the second part of the battle.

After assuming this form, Nimzo will cast [[bounce]] at the start of battle. He has a tendency cast [[kasap]] on the party, but because he attacks physically at infrequent intervals the players can ignore this. Disruptive wave will remove the affects anyway, so it's better to concentrate on maximizing damage instead. His element resistance have vanished when the fight begins, but he is still immune to all debilitation magic. Once 2500 damage has been dealt, he will alter his strategy and begin meditating more often. After another 2000 HP have been removed, Nimzo will cease recovery and focus on the offensive. In this state, his melee blows will become '''Desperate Attacks''', dealing 500% more damage. If the party's healers are running low on MP, he is vulnerable to [[Drain Magic]] in this state.

He is considerably weaker in the SNES original version, but it is important to keep in mind that only three characters could be used in that version, (in contrast with the DS and PS2 remakes' four); also, he seems to [[Meditate]] much more frequently now.

Nimzo appears as a Legacy Boss. His speech is written normally in this game, presumably because the Cyrillic alphabet is absent from this game's character set. His map can be dropped from [[Psaro the Manslayer|Psaro]] at higher levels (and thus can be obtained multiple times).

==={{DQM}}===
First official appearance outside of Japan. Called Mirudraas at the time.

==={{DQM2}}===
{{Stub}}

==={{DQMJ}}===

Appears as an S-rank member of the [[Beast family]] and has his current name; he appears as his monstrous, true form. One combination for obtaining one is by synthesizing a [[Drakulard]] with a [[Malroth]].

==={{DQMJ2}}===
Nimzo is a Rank X monster in this game. One can be synthesized by mixing a [[Drakulard]] with [[Baramos]].

==={{Your Story}}===
{{spoiler|start}}
While Nimzo is frequently alluded to in the film, he does not make an actual appearance. Instead, his role is taken by a virus, appearing as a black humanoid figure with a white mask-like face. The presence of the virus results in a twist ending where Luca is shown as a fan of {{Dragon Quest V}} playing a virtual reality remake of the game. The virus was injected into the virtual reality game's code to take Nimzo's role, reminding Luca that once he is defeated, it is time to return to the real world. The virus attempts to further break Luca by telling him that everything in the world does not exist and will cease existing once he is defeated. Luca fights back by telling him that even though he knows that he is a player, he grew up playing both the original {{Super Famicom}} and [[Sony PlayStation#PlayStation 2|PlayStation 2]] versions of the game, and that they were his realities that he came to love. Luca's Slime companion Gootrude appears one last time, revealing himself to be an anti-virus program and changing his own code into a sword used to defeat the virus. After the virus is defeated, Luca contemplates that his adventure is almost over, but his allies and enemies will live on in his memories. Despite this different character, the virus is still credited as Nimzo.
{{spoiler|end}}

==Etymology==
Grandmaster Nimzo is likely derived from [[wikipedia:Aron_Nimzowitsch|Aron '''Nimzo'''witsch]], a renowned chess writer and (unofficial) grandmaster. [[Order of Zugzwang|Nimzo's underlings]] are named after chess pieces, and Nimzo himself refers to his overall plan as a game with his underlings being the pawns, so the name was likely given to tie in with these characteristics.

==Trivia==
*Nizmo is widely regarded as one of the easiest final bosses in the series by fans. Even in remakes, with considerable stat augmentation granted to him, he seems to have more intelligence than raw power and fighting ability.
*Nimzo appears with his current name in ''Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker'', a game that preceded the English release of ''Dragon Quest V''.
