The Magic Marionette is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line, it is a strengthened version of the mud mannequin.
Characteristics
Animated blood-red bouncing bodies craved of wood, some say the magic marionette is actually soaked in the remains of defeated adventurers. They rip magic points right from their enemies with a rigid weird dance, before slapping them silly with their wooden stumpy arms. The coloration of the puppets has changed many times over the years, from teal in their original appearance in II to brown in V, then grey in their original appearance in VI before finally settling on dark red in VII and most modern appearances.

Magic marionette (パペットマン Papetto Man)
Magic marionette appears as a B-rank monster of the Inorganic family as part of the limited Dragon Quest V event. It can learn Fizzle, Swoosh, and Kabuff naturally and can take part in Slon the Rook's Battle Road as a party member. It will join the player in the event quest Chapter 4, Episode 1: The Way Back to Orchesterra and can be fully awakened by collecting Magic Marionette Crystals in the Talon Tower. Magic marionettes are faced as enemies starting on B2 and every 5th basement until the 22nd. The lower floors of the tower are more difficult, but have higher chances of dropping the crystals.
