The Scourgette is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

Scourgettes are anthropomorphic vegetables with a goofy faces, wielding a long spear in their hands. They have purplish-indigo bodies like a Solanum melongena with pink markings on their faces and white designs tattooed on their lower bodies. The vegetables have the ability to cast explosive magic and can also revive their fellow monsters with Zing, but they are limited due to their low MP pools. As they are plant-based, the scourgettes will wilt quickly if burned down with fire attacks and spells. Their monster description in some games states that if a scourgette loses the spear they wield, they can grow new ones from the stems on their heads and pull it out. Their name is a play on courgette, a British term for zucchini, and the word "scourge".

Dragon Quest X

Scourgettes began appearing in Version 3.3 of the game, this time actually being second strongest behind the Cruelcumbers, who wouldn't be introduced until Version 5.0. They are able to perform a Multithrust with their spears and will revive their fellow monsters with Zing as in the previous game. Their magic has upgraded to being able to cast Kaboom and they will even cast Kaboomle when they become enraged.
