The '''Gastropog''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest IX}}. It is a bizarre hybrid between a snail and a frog.

==Characteristics==
Gastropogs are an unusual cross between frogs and [[Bug family|snail]]s, having the green spotted skin of an amphibian, but with a large, spiked spiral shell on its back and eyes on tall stalks like a gastropod. They have long tongues poking out of their mouths, which they use to stun their enemies into inaction. It attacks by rolling itself into a ball and tackling opponents with the spikes on their shells. The monsters can also expel a sickening mucus that can slow foes down.
