A '''Monster Heart''' is an item in {{DQ7}} and {{DQMCH}}.

==Details==
A Monster Heart is the crystallization of a monster's essence. It holds the characteristics of a monster. When a person takes this heart to the {{Alltrades Abbey 7}}, or an abbot or [[Jacqueline|abbess]] from such a temple, the person can assume that monster's 'class' to acquire the qualities of said monster, eventually becoming it.

In {{DQMCH}}, two monster hearts are applied to a single monster when it goes through reform.

==Acquiring Monster Hearts==

A monster whose {{Vocation}} can be undertaken has a rare chance of dropping a Monster Heart with the exception of two monsters:

The [[Slaughtomaton]] will not drop an Slaughtomaton Heart because it is only fought once in the game.  The boss [[Golem]] in [[The Tower]] will not drop a Golem Heart because it is only fought once. However, there are [[Collum o' golem]] that may drop a Golem Heart.

The '''Lucky Panel''' game in the [[Casino]] will sometimes have Monster Hearts as prizes.  Additionally in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version [[Traveller's Tablet]] help to obtain Hearts at an easier rate, especially customized ones.

The [[Prism peacock]] heart can be purchased for 100,000 in the casino in [[The Haven]].

==={{DQMCH}}===
Monster hearts may drop from any non-boss monster (and a few boss monsters, such as the [[gargoyle]]) shortly after acquiring the heart stealing device. <!--it's been a while since I played the game, so I can't remember where he was or if he even had a name, but I'm pretty sure he lives in the coastal town near Midenhall/Lorasia-->
