The '''Haunted Housekeeper''' is the first boss in {{DQ5}}. He is the ringleader behind the hauntings at [[Uptaten Towers]]. When first confronted, he drops the {{Hero 5}} and [[Bianca Whitaker]] down a trap door where they are to be prepared as a feast. Unfortunately for him, they manage to fight off the undead and face him at the balcony. He has gone on to make appearances in spinoff games in the series.

==Characteristics==
The haunted housekeeper has the appearance of a [[Humanoid family|wizened old man]] with pale red skin wearing a hooded purple robe that obscures most of his body, spindly hands outstretched ready to cast magic. In remake versions of the game, he wears a gold necklace decorated with red gems and gold bracelets on his wrists. His mouth is agape, revealing that the monster is missing many teeth.

==Strategy==
The Housekeeper can be tough at lower levels due to his fire magic and physical attacks. Getting upgraded equipment in [[Roundbeck]] is recommended. If {{Bianca}} is at least level 7, she can cast [[Kasap]] to make him more vulnerable to melee attacks. Once he is defeated, he will surrender and confess that he and the ghosts were outcasts from [[Nadiria]] and were simply looking for a home.
