The '''spitnik''' is recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{DQ8}}. It has the appearance of a sun with a trailing satellite orbiting around it, both displaying wide smiles.

==Characteristics==
The sputnik is a large, spherical orange monster that resembles an anthropomorphic [[Elemental family|sun or star]]. It has a perpetually grinning face, along with a squat nose and beady eyes, and the back of its body is covered with sharp spikes, meant to evoke the image of a star's corona. It also has a smaller satellite with a grinning face orbiting its body that looks like a comet with a long, trailing tail. The spitnik attacks by swallowing its satellite and spitting it at enemies, after which it returns to the spitnik.
