Delicious in Dungeon: the main characters

Ten years underground, a big pot and a firm rule about vegetables: meet the cook every party needs.

Delicious in Dungeon is a fantasy quest where the monsters end up on the menu, and we think the reason it works is Senshi, the dwarf who has made the dungeon his kitchen.

Who he is - A cook found in the first episode

Delicious in Dungeon: a cook found in the first episode

Laios and his party are broke and starving when a dwarf with a giant pot steps out of the dark and offers to cook the giant scorpion they just killed.

Senshi has lived in the dungeon for ten years, studying how to eat what lives there. He joins them as a cook, not a hero.

Why he works - A dungeon treated like a farm

Senshi does not just hunt monsters, he looks after them. Early on, the party learns he grows vegetables in the soil on a living golem's back.

Studio Trigger animates every meal like a cooking show, and Senshi explains each step with total seriousness, which is why it is so funny.

The verdict - Come for the food, stay for the cook

He insists on balanced meals and wastes nothing, and slowly the party, even Marcille, stops gagging and starts asking for seconds.

Start with episode one. If the scorpion hotpot makes you curious instead of queasy, the golem garden will win you over.
