The manual for creating the mask is the ''[[List of fun-size forge recipe book locations in Dragon Quest XI|Building Butterfly Bric-a-Brac]]'' book, which is found on an Octagonia bookshelf.

==Etymology==
*''Malleable'' is a term that describes a flexible or easily worked metal. In the context of the games, it describes the mask's wearer remaining limber due to the high [[paralysis]] resistance.
