The '''Knight aberrant''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, introduced in the original {{Dragon Quest}}.

It is an axe-wielding, armor-clad knight capable of putting enemies to sleep with its magic.

==Characteristics==
'''Knight aberrants''' are {{Humanoid}} knights armored from head to top in grey and dark purple armor with lavender sabatons, gauntlets, a lavender gem on their belts, and a tall lavender plume on their helmets. 
They wield axes in their right hands and a round shield in the same color as the armor with gold in the center, though in some games they forgo using their shields. Compared to their blue-armored brothers, the Knight aberrant are deadlier due to their ability to cast '''[[Snooze]]''' in battle instead of [[Fizzle]].

==={{Captain N}}===
An Axe knight appears in Episode 23 "Trojan Dragon".  It appeared in a cave guarding both the [[Fire blade|Flame sword]] and the [[Silver shield]], only to lose both of them to Captain N.  Axe knight is the only other character besides the [[Dragonlord]], [[Blue dragon]] and [[Slime]]s that appeared in the series.  Axe knight is immune to the Zapper, while dodged due to Kevin's use of the pause button on his Power Pad.

==Etymology==
''Aberrant'' is a synonym for deviant, meaning a person or thing that deviates from what is normal and accepted.

==Trivia==
*The {{MFamilies}}'s field notes from {{Dragon Quest Heroes II}} are partially incorrect when they refer to the knight aberrant miniboss in {{Dragon Quest}}. The {{MFamilies}} is guarding [[Erdrick's Armour]], not [[Erdrick's Sword]].

==Related {{MFamilies}}s==
