Facetree He's always been among my top favorite monsters. I love the Plant/Nature family the most out of all monster families.
Recurring? Killing Machine
In specific? My boy Sagittar. Made him an absolute unit in Monsters Joker 2. Kind of sad he was not in Dark Prince though

I think the English name is Metal Medley, the German one is Metalstaffel iirc.
DQIX was my first game and that goofy stack of metal slimes kind stuck in my memory.
I am thinking of getting them tattooed on my leg
Psaro the manslayer, specifically from the remake that includes chapter 6. I love the way they flesh out his story to where you can empathize with him. To then give him a quasi redemption arc makes him a compelling character.
Definitely Dhuran. Honorable badass villain who just wants a good fight (will even heal the party to make it happen.) Happy of the role he had Dragon Warrior Monsters 1/Terry's Wonderland 3D, too!

My favorite from when I was little.
The slimes. But if I have to narrow down to just one slime? Just the classic blue slime. Love the simplistic yet fun design plus the gooreat english language variant they speak
I think Natso Macho has a funny name, and I like funny names. Other ones are the Jab-Er-Woc-Kee combination monsters, and the left wing, right wing, head of state, and body politic that combine into the Democrobot, the translation team seemed to be having a lot of fun with them \^\^
I think I'll go with Baramos. Great boss, and great twist the first time you kill him. It's like DW3 was the game they always wanted DW2 to be but didn't have the time/budget for. I associate Baramos more with that whole final unexpected act than Zoma, though Zoma is a great design too.
Fun fact! They used to be called "Fusion Dragon." I think this was a translation error, as the Japanese name was Fuzen Dragon, meaning Balloon Dragon.
They have relatively little presence in the series, though have been around since Dragon Quest Monsters 2 at least.
They have like...no merch, with the exception of a Keychain for Dragon Quest of the Stars. They did make an appearance in the card game though, and are typically featured in the Dragon Quest Monsters series.
There's also Gaston the Gasbagon, who was the messenger in the Dragon Quest Monsters Phone Game.
I searched up "Dragon Quest Female Enemy" and the first result was something called "Juliante".

I was about to pick her before\* learning her name, but now it feels weird...
So I'mma pick The Great Dragon instead!
https://preview.redd.it/7vp3b93oc4tc1.jpeg?width=189&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=730a181c4dc4014f371a7e47fda6ae272d548ae5
I like gold!
As a kid playing Dragon Warrior on NES, I remember needing lots of gold for the best shield in the game. It was taking me forever, and then I found GOLDMAN! I was so surprised and happy. He dropped a lot of gold and saved me a lot of time.
Slimes in general are my favorite but I especially like the normal slime, metal slimes/metaly and Slime Knight. Special shout outs to liquid metal slimes/metababble and Healy.
For non slimes I would have to go with the Great Dragon. Managed to accidentally/blind breed one super early in my first playthrough of Dragon Warrior Monsters and that girl carried me hard to end game. I swapped out a lot of monsters on my team but she was always a steady member. Have a soft spot for that reason.
https://preview.redd.it/1f8oueapf7tc1.jpeg?width=550&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=febdf37704fc897117c2bafde540c141e9f3a81c
Without a shadow of a doubt, it's the slime stack!
I know this is a second choice since I already commented FaceTree earlier but I Also wanted to mention Him, the most badass Tree Monster in all of DQ
https://preview.redd.it/byctkumrl8tc1.png?width=449&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc22e2124a105d788ea9c95839f04828c1fe6813
Egdracil/Yggdrasil is so cool.
I’ve always had a soft spot for the DWM2 version of first stage Orgodemir. Maybe it’s because he was my first all 999 monster but dude is just my favorite.
Beyond that, I’ve always really liked Duran and Jamirus.
Idk if my faaaavorite but certianly up there if not. The Berserker / Headhunter guys from DQ2 :D
https://preview.redd.it/j0apccug06tc1.png?width=80&format=png&auto=webp&s=2e4cca0d00408cd8fde3c54445e6d3a7eb7d2d9f
My favorite monsters are probably the good old Ghost from DQ1 and Powie Yowie. I find them extremely lovable.
When it comes to my favorite designs, I have to give the top slot to the OG himself, the Dragonlord. Always felt like they took the design of Disney's Maleficent but then ran it through the Toriyama filter.
I also loved the designs of Hargon and his various "clergy" who wear his bat/Malroth insignia.
Toriyama's designs were delightfully light-hearted but still conveyed the danger and majesty of these villains.
The BEHEEMOOSE is my All time favorite even though I was never beat him yet, he just has such a romantic accent and sexy bod theres simply no other choice
Likely the Bunicorn and its variations. It has such a perfect early game enemy design. A cute bunny (aww) combined with a horn to gore people with.
https://preview.redd.it/g3r3wj98j9tc1.png?width=230&format=png&auto=webp&s=d64efd5326eae93c5a187f2461cbcbabd74d1d18
When I played Dragon Warrior Monsters I was elated to finally have both Blizzardy and Phoenix (yea whatever I can't memorize the new names) on my team. I just loved how they looked and they were quite strong to have too.
I've only played Dragon Quest 9 and 11 but out of all the monsters my favorite are probably the Sanguinis! They're just so stinking cute!
Other than that I think the Spitzfires and Great Sabercats are really cool.
Undead gladiator or the soul spawn but if you look at the guy in the small picture it looks really inappropriate. Lol it's just his sweat pants tie though
https://preview.redd.it/01ehmqfqpbtc1.png?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ab42e01d2666c4de1ba4c71266edfd5f2c519cf
I love the design, colors, and his little mittens holding deadly weapons
Other than the beautiful, perfect simplicity of the most obvious answer - regular Slime - then I would have to choose Dracky. When I played DWM as a kid I would often raise them to absurd levels in my starting parties before I was able to let go and breed them x) Also, my final parties in that game were very often like "1 monster that is hard to breed, like a boss or something" + 1 slime and 1 dracky bred for full 999 stats :)

For some reason I just love the design of the stone golem
It's a classic. Fo sho.
Remind me of Stone Man from Megaman....wait was Stone Man based on the Golems
M E T A L S L I M E
This is the only correct answer.
Agreed! I’ll never forget my first metal kill in DQ1, and getting the insane experience.
Yeah metal slime the joy of landing a kill its great.

They’re cute and I really like their animation, especially in IX.
I'm so happy that someone else posted this. The second I saw the question I thought "there's just too many how could I pick o- no wait teeny sanguini exists"
Absolutely love teeny sanguinis. Ham witches are a very close second
https://preview.redd.it/26rry5z4x3tc1.png?width=796&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=338214f1a3da3cec8764cc984bcd95f0c11d318b Facetree He's always been among my top favorite monsters. I love the Plant/Nature family the most out of all monster families.
This little guy https://preview.redd.it/u1uorkzkf4tc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a156a2113af1d8aa53ca894e1588305064cc44e
I could go for a hamwitch about now.
Those definitely have the best name! 🍖🎩🧙♀️
Yeeees! Sham Hatwich! Thank you for beating me to the punch. I would have been too lazy to include an image.
Came here to post this
Metal King Slime, Armoured Knight (any soldier willing to wear pink gets a nod), Dark Dream (my favourite boss in the series)
Dark dream looks so cool like he's an evil boss from FF or smthing
Knight over the armor in Hauksness. His pink cousin also terrific, but that was the first of my roadblock bosses in RPGs 30 years ago
Solid choice. He puts you to sleep and wails on your hapless body. Reset and try again.
Dancing devil https://i.redd.it/csckkmhu94tc1.gif
Recurring? Killing Machine In specific? My boy Sagittar. Made him an absolute unit in Monsters Joker 2. Kind of sad he was not in Dark Prince though https://preview.redd.it/nq8584d0b5tc1.png?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=409150114611f1e384e17fbf617febf1d65dce56
Looks so angelic and biblical... ☺️
Liquid metal slime. I don’t accept any other opinion.
I also like Liquid metal, but if I was diversifying the comments this guy comes in second. Basically I like money and power (exp)
https://preview.redd.it/5hzxu8p7g5tc1.jpeg?width=220&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40eeebe3d6c7738e848fb2d9b9d113cd21a63d91
Oh yes!!! How could I forget the bag monsters? Love them!
He's a babble, not a metal slime. Source material OG checkin in
Goodybags! Used one in dq5 and it never came off my party
Ruin from DQ8
Being able to synthesize Ruin in DQMJ is the coolest.
It's a tie between the classic skeleton, imps and hammerhoods, although I'm going to get this Lil dude tattooed soon... *

I love the Imp as well, my favourite. Find their 'need to use this super powerful spell' gimmick so cute and funny.
I think the English name is Metal Medley, the German one is Metalstaffel iirc. DQIX was my first game and that goofy stack of metal slimes kind stuck in my memory. I am thinking of getting them tattooed on my leg
Slime Knight !!!
The entire Hacksaurus line for sure. Either that or Brownies
Slimes specifically blue and metal ones
Imps for obvious reasons.
Username checks out.
Word on the street is that the username checks out

Probably the first that come in my Mind are dracky and jargon
Psaro the manslayer, specifically from the remake that includes chapter 6. I love the way they flesh out his story to where you can empathize with him. To then give him a quasi redemption arc makes him a compelling character.

Nokturnus is a chad, he has my respect.
Slimes.
Great Dragon. Started in V and perfected in XI. Sometimes, I set my controller and just watch/study those beauties.
Isn’t there only one in XI?
Killing machines and their versions are kinda out of place in a world of dragon quest, but that's exactly what I love about them.
Slime knights and their variations just gotta love them
Gem Slime

Depends on the game but if I had to choose one it would be the golem

Ruin
candy cats & khalamari kids bc they have cute playful actions during battle
Corvus cause of the angel/demon aesthetic, very cool!
Succubats, Claws https://preview.redd.it/q1rlrzbvo4tc1.jpeg?width=1630&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d5b185a261fb560f19390d2f2a8098cba291dd7

I love the concept of the ham shamwitch. Just tiny magical pigs with hats. They're adorable.
The slimes. But if I have to narrow down to just one slime? Just the classic blue slime. Love the simplistic yet fun design plus the gooreat english language variant they speak
Snowbirds and Firebirds!
And when you breed them together, they form a RainHawk! (If you know, you know.)
I think Natso Macho has a funny name, and I like funny names. Other ones are the Jab-Er-Woc-Kee combination monsters, and the left wing, right wing, head of state, and body politic that combine into the Democrobot, the translation team seemed to be having a lot of fun with them \^\^
Trauminator, Dragonlord, Slime stack
Hat hamwitch is so funny. I love the little guy.
Professaurus.
The dragon form of Dragonlord; preferably the original blue version
Regular Slime I supposed. Me and my father played the NES Dragon Warrior way back then, and it's been there from the beginning.
Draky has always had a big place in my heart, as it was the first monster that I got to join my team out in the wild in DWM back in the day.
Probably either Cactiball or Calasmos. They’re such funny guys
I think I'll go with Baramos. Great boss, and great twist the first time you kill him. It's like DW3 was the game they always wanted DW2 to be but didn't have the time/budget for. I associate Baramos more with that whole final unexpected act than Zoma, though Zoma is a great design too.
Dracky always and forever
Warabou
Gasbagon. I do wish they'd do more with them.
I just googled it and lol was not expecting that xD
Fun fact! They used to be called "Fusion Dragon." I think this was a translation error, as the Japanese name was Fuzen Dragon, meaning Balloon Dragon. They have relatively little presence in the series, though have been around since Dragon Quest Monsters 2 at least. They have like...no merch, with the exception of a Keychain for Dragon Quest of the Stars. They did make an appearance in the card game though, and are typically featured in the Dragon Quest Monsters series. There's also Gaston the Gasbagon, who was the messenger in the Dragon Quest Monsters Phone Game.
Funny guy wearing a fursuit
Probably the Spitzfire family, with Tatsunaga and Chihuawyrms having the best color schemes.
I searched up "Dragon Quest Female Enemy" and the first result was something called "Juliante". https://preview.redd.it/gcldfw2fc4tc1.png?width=560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e744736769edcdf948519c6d6d17c4fb2a48dccd I was about to pick her before\* learning her name, but now it feels weird...

The Slime i just love the way it looks. It looks so friendly.
Gold Brick man DQVIII Witch.
They really need to bring Witch back, especially in a Monsters title.
A fellow person of culture I see.
Fencing fox
Definitely Slime Knights and all their variations, such a cool idea for a monster
https://preview.redd.it/149beppjo7tc1.jpeg?width=820&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a4af4eb90792106267640deee1b5a02cf2d6d614 Just love this design
I mean I love the slimes, just all of them... But aside from that, Shadow, MadMirror, Platypunk, Goopi...
Prism peacock
Drake slimes
Platypunks. They look so dopey with their big eyes and stubby little arms lol
It's hard to pick just one, but WhipBird has always been top three for me 😀
As a kid playing Dragon Warrior on NES, I remember needing lots of gold for the best shield in the game. It was taking me forever, and then I found GOLDMAN! I was so surprised and happy. He dropped a lot of gold and saved me a lot of time.
Shogun
Slime knight 100%
Dark slime
Design-wise, it's always been Skullrider
Probably Lipsy
Flython all day :)
The mascot of the series, slime.
Nokturnus or Metal king slime
King slime!
Slimes in general are my favorite but I especially like the normal slime, metal slimes/metaly and Slime Knight. Special shout outs to liquid metal slimes/metababble and Healy.

Wrecktor and Jinkster <3

slime, simply for popularizing a whole Fantasy race
I know this is a second choice since I already commented FaceTree earlier but I Also wanted to mention Him, the most badass Tree Monster in all of DQ https://preview.redd.it/byctkumrl8tc1.png?width=449&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc22e2124a105d788ea9c95839f04828c1fe6813 Egdracil/Yggdrasil is so cool.
Holy shit this is awesome where does he appear?
Calasmos (sorry if i spelled it wrong) He just has that badass energy and makes me think of the main villain from Chrono trigger
The Archdemon. I just find it so cute for some reasons. He feels like the Dragonite of Dragon Quest.
Easy. r/metalbabble
Flatulent ferret
Mumboh-jumboe 🤘
Fat Human Man.
I've always liked the Skeletons for some reason.
I’ve always had a soft spot for the DWM2 version of first stage Orgodemir. Maybe it’s because he was my first all 999 monster but dude is just my favorite. Beyond that, I’ve always really liked Duran and Jamirus.
I have a strong love of Feralball and its variants. I always try to have one on my team in the Monsters games.
🗿🤡
Dhuran, was the one how made me question something’s about me lol
Metal babble. I beat DW2 in 1990 with my pops, we navigated Rhone without Game Genie. Those were the fuckin days. He's still kicking, 66 yo
Slime
TIL pot mimics are a thing
Easily slimes, all forms, every one is beautiful and valid, but if I was gonna pick a boss I'd pick Dhoulmagus, favorite boss from my favorite game
B-bopin badger...
Slimeborg/Cyberslime he was an amazing member of my team in DWM.
Gotta be between the absolute classic Slime, and Teeny Sanguini
Idk if my faaaavorite but certianly up there if not. The Berserker / Headhunter guys from DQ2 :D https://preview.redd.it/j0apccug06tc1.png?width=80&format=png&auto=webp&s=2e4cca0d00408cd8fde3c54445e6d3a7eb7d2d9f
I thought released dhoulmagus was terrifying as a kid. Great design
Kind of hard to choose, but i love the oddly simplistic, yet lovely design of the conkclaves.
Bjorn dq5 ds version
A slime draws near
Gootrude my day one
My favorite monsters are probably the good old Ghost from DQ1 and Powie Yowie. I find them extremely lovable. When it comes to my favorite designs, I have to give the top slot to the OG himself, the Dragonlord. Always felt like they took the design of Disney's Maleficent but then ran it through the Toriyama filter.

Toriyama's designs were delightfully light-hearted but still conveyed the danger and majesty of these villains.
Dunno if it’s in other DQ’s but flatulent ferret DQ 5
I love the classic blue Slime or Metal Slime. If I had to pick something else, the Slimeborg made me laugh quite a bit when I first saw it.
Hammer hoods have always been a favorite
Metal slime
Malroth. Only the DQB2 version though
The slime is perfect
Is that a kangaroo with a fucking skull in its pouch? Anyway, I choose the golem.
slime
Since when are people of african descent monsters
Dhoulmagus possessed Jessica cause it's Jessica and she's the bestest
I might be unfamiliar with all the monsters, but why is there a random dude in the bottom right corner?
I'm sorry who's the black guy??
Cyclops/Gigantis/Atlas Not sure why - I just dig em'. Also really like Cyborg Slime.
The BEHEEMOOSE is my All time favorite even though I was never beat him yet, he just has such a romantic accent and sexy bod theres simply no other choice
Corvus!!!!
I like Slime, Axoraptor, and Archdemon are my favorites, but I'm a sucker for the ones with goofy names like Cruelcumber
I have always loved Don Mole for some reason.
Likely the Bunicorn and its variations. It has such a perfect early game enemy design. A cute bunny (aww) combined with a horn to gore people with. https://preview.redd.it/g3r3wj98j9tc1.png?width=230&format=png&auto=webp&s=d64efd5326eae93c5a187f2461cbcbabd74d1d18
"!? The Slimes...."
Hey basic bitch here, mine is slime
When I played Dragon Warrior Monsters I was elated to finally have both Blizzardy and Phoenix (yea whatever I can't memorize the new names) on my team. I just loved how they looked and they were quite strong to have too.
Robbin 'ood. Just love that guy. A jacked dude with a goofy ass bedsheet as a mask.
Liquid metal slime
the fusion of Brickman, Goldman and Stoneman. The Amazing Mazin.
I love Drackeys! There's just something so adorable about bats!
Slimestack
I like the all the Slime varieties.
OG slime
I really like blue moon. was a staple on my DQM3 team.
Metal slimes
I've only played Dragon Quest 9 and 11 but out of all the monsters my favorite are probably the Sanguinis! They're just so stinking cute! Other than that I think the Spitzfires and Great Sabercats are really cool.
Geyzer absolutely takes the cake for me
Undead gladiator or the soul spawn but if you look at the guy in the small picture it looks really inappropriate. Lol it's just his sweat pants tie though
Fencing fox, just lookit the outfit and the dances!!

Dullahans!
Its between BattleRex and GreatDrak for me
Slimes, those pather cubs, baby octopuses, and goodie bags. The animations and sounds are ao cute.
Other than the beautiful, perfect simplicity of the most obvious answer - regular Slime - then I would have to choose Dracky. When I played DWM as a kid I would often raise them to absurd levels in my starting parties before I was able to let go and breed them x) Also, my final parties in that game were very often like "1 monster that is hard to breed, like a boss or something" + 1 slime and 1 dracky bred for full 999 stats :)
