The '''Toughie''' (あらくれ, ''Arakure'', lit. "rowdy person") is a recurring [[Non-Player Character]] type in the {{DQSeries}}. In some games, they have also been known as thugs or prisoners. They are frequently in charge of running the various [[weapon shop]]s throughout the world, but can also be seen as regular townspeople, particularly in seedier or less-than-reputable locations such as bars and casinos.

Toughies are easily recognizable due to their scarred and musclebound physiques, chest harnesses, and their signature yellow bull masks.

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest II]]''===
Toughies make their first appearance in the series.

===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===
In the original Sony PlayStation version of the game, they are known as '''prisoners''' and are one of the immigrant types that can be sent to live at the [[The Haven|Immigrant Town]]. If the player recruits many of them, the town can evolve into the Slum. The owner of the [[Wilted Heart]] in the present is known for his penchant for dressing up like a thug and chasing around maids.

===''[[Dragon Quest XI]]''===

==Trivia==
* In 2014, the thug's mug, along with other items, appeared in Square Enix's MMORPG ''[[Final Fantasy]] XIV'' as part of a [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/2017/Theres_Golems_in_Those_Hills/ cross-promotion] with the series to help promote the then-latest expansion of ''[[Dragon Quest X]]''. The item allowed players to be able to dress their character avatars like toughies, as well.
