The Floating bloater is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest VII. It is a blue-skinned volant frog with a pair of wings growing from its back.

Characteristics

Grotesque flying toads that gather and flock around only the tallest towers to hunt for their prey. Much more agile than their name would suggest, they are able to make a lively leap at foes to deal damage, as well as lick an enemy all over in a way that can leave opponents stunned. They also possess vocal chords that they use to create a noise only they can head, which they utilize to bring an endless number of their species to their aid in battle. As indicated by its name, it is vulnerable to techniques such as Flying Knee.
