Senshi
Also known as: Dungeon Gourmet
A dwarf who lived in the dungeon for decades perfecting nutritionally balanced monster cooking, armed with a cooking pot helmet and devastatingly correct opinions about breakfast. His survivor's guilt over the orc bread is the manga's quietest tragedy.
Other Dungeon Meshi Characters
Laios Touden
5k works
A monster-obsessed party leader descending the dungeon to save his sister Falin by eating every creature on the way down. His encyclopedic delight in monsters and his blind spots about humans made him both an autistic-coded icon and an unexpected king.
Marcille Donato
4k works
A half-elf court mage horrified by monster cuisine and devoted enough to practice forbidden ancient magic to bring Falin back. Her nightmare — outliving everyone she loves — makes her the Winged Lion's perfect target and the story's aching heart.
Falin Touden

Kabru
3k works
The leader of a rival adventuring party, a Utaya massacre survivor who studies people the way Laios studies monsters — and is both fascinated and appalled to find his opposite. His one-sided intel-gathering friendship with Laios became the fandom's breakout ship.
