The  '''Fire ball''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest X}}. It is a red and gold-plated mechanical bird that was introduced as the [[rarefied monster]] version of the [[Clockwork cuckoo]], which, according to their bestiary entry in ''X'', are Clockwork cuckoos themselves that went out of control from overheating, though it's currently unknown since there were few sightings.

==Characteristics==
Fire balls are [[Machine family|mechanical]] birds with spherical bodies made of gold, along with golden heads and wings, red head and tail "feathers", and copper-coloured articulated feet. Like the other robotic avians, fire balls are capable of converting their wings into deadly sharp blades and can also shoot out their feathers as if they are darts. True to their name, they can also set their opponents ablaze with a barrage of magical fireballs. When all else fails, they will self-destruct as a last resort.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ10}}===
Fire balls appear as [[rarefied monster]] versions of clockwork cuckoos starting in Version 1.4 of the game. They are capable of casting [[Kerfrizz]], can attack with [[Birdcutter]] and [[Bird Slash]] skills, and can [[Out with a Bang|self-destruct]] to damage their enemies.

==={{DQMJ3}}===
Fire ball makes its first appearance in the ''Monsters'' series as a B-rank monster of the [[Material family]]. 

==={{DQR}}===
Fire ball was introduced in the 8th card pack, "Get Rich Quick! Casino Paradise" as a normal card exclusive for [[Warrior]] leaders.

==={{DQTact}}===
Fire ball appears as a B-rank monster of the [[Inorganic family]] as part of the limited ''Behold the Ultimate Automaton! Battle the Mindini Hunter!'' event. It can be scouted from Room #3 of the Ancient Scrapyard at any difficulty and it can participate in the [[Mindini hunter]]'s Battle Road as a party member.
