The pink pongo is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series.

Introduced in Dragon Quest VIII, it's a pink-furred ape-like creature with surprisingly high evasion.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Pernicious primates that possess a perplexing pink pelt color, the pink pongo makes up for this confounding evolutionary adaptation by combining speed and strength to become a force of nature.
