List of recruitable monsters in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake

The following is a list of all recruitable monsters found in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, along with their attributes. These friendly monsters are scattered all throughout the world, and the player is tasked by Monty the Monster Monitor to rescue them from the inhospitable wilds. Any rescued monster can be entered into the Monster Arena to compete for prizes, whether solo or in a team of three.
