Delicious in Dungeon: Marcille dreaming of a hot meal

A brilliant mage, a party that cooks monsters, and a face that says everything.

Delicious in Dungeon's Marcille is the only one in the party who wants a normal dinner, and we think she is the reason the show is so funny. Every meal goes through her face first.

Who she is - The scholar in the party

Delicious in Dungeon: the scholar in the party

Marcille Donato is an elf mage who knows more about magic than anyone around her, and she has read every book on it.

When a red dragon swallows Laios's sister Falin, Marcille goes back down with Laios and Chilchuck to save her, with no money left for food.

Why she works - Every meal is a fight

Delicious in Dungeon: every meal is a fight

Laios wants to eat the monsters they kill. Marcille would rather starve, and says so, loudly, at every single meal.

Studio Trigger gives her the best faces in the show: horror, disgust, then the slow look of someone who just found out it tastes good.

The verdict - The one who keeps the show human

Without her the cooking would be a gimmick. With her, every dish is a small war between pride and hunger, and hunger usually wins.

Start with episode one and watch her face at the first bite of scorpion hotpot. That is the whole joke, and it never gets old.

Where to watch
