The '''Gloomy gastropog''' is a monster in {{Dragon Quest IX}}.

==Characteristics==
Gloomy gastropogs are bizarre hybrids of frogs and [[Bug family|snails]], with spotted light grey skin and a large, dark grey spiked shell on their backs, the center of which is yellow. Their eyes have black schlera with orange irises, giving them an eerie appearance. They can send entire parties of adventurers into confusion with their Kafuddle spell or put them to sleep with their Sweet Breath. These gastropogs can also protect themselves by sprouting sharp spikes all over their shell.
