Petrarch is a minor antagonist in Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, ruling over the Middle Echelon of the Circle of Caprice with an iron fist.
Appearances[edit | edit source]
Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince[edit | edit source]
Petrarch is one of Aamon's minions, tasked with keeping the stone golems of the Lower and Middle Echelons enslaved to mine the penteractic crystals. From his lair in the House of Shifting Sands, Petrarch achieves his master's ambition by trapping the stone golems in an intricate curse: once one succumbs to exhaustion and breaks apart, it is instantly reassembled and sent back to work for perpetual labor.
Psaro and Rose are asked by Pierre, the only one of his kind to retain any sentience, to kill Petrarch and free the golems from their unending slavery. Once confronted and dealt with, Petrarch's curse fades and the stone golems collapse into rubble, finally free from their toil. Later on, when confronting Aamon in his sanctum in the Upper Echelon of the Circle of Caprice, the wicked one reveals that the stone golems were in fact elves he had cursed when he destroyed their kingdom of El Zetta long ago, delighting in the fact that the heroes had unwittingly driven Rose's people closer to extinction.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
- Petrarch is a compound pun based on two Greek words. Petra is the feminine counterpart to Peter which means "stone" in Greek, and Arch describes authority over something and serves as the root word for the English monarchy. Rolled together, Petrarch's name means ruler of rocks.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Petrarch's curse recalls The Time Being trapping the people of El Ciclo in a perpetual time loop with the use of the Sands of Time.
