'''Summon''' is a recurring ability in the {{DQSeries}}. It invokes the consciousness of a benevolent spirit and manifests one to assist in battle, adding an uncontrollable A.I. character whose stats and abilities are hidden from the player. These spirits are not counted as being members of the party, and thus group-only spells such as [[Thwack]] and [[Multiheal]] will not target them.

The names of the four summons are [[Tatron]], [[Deago]], [[Samshin]], and [[Bazhoul]] . In the first two Monsters games they can each be summoned with their own individual skills, [[TatsuCall]], [[DiagoCall]], [[SamsiCall]], and [[BazooCall]].

==={{DQ6}}===
This skill is obtained by advancing to Rank 4 of the [[Sage]] vocation. It may only be used once per battle in the remakes, but the spirits can be recalled as soon as they are defeated in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] original. It costs 20 MP to begin the ritual in either version.

The following may be summoned, randomly chosen and depending on caster's level:

Summon is learned by reaching rank 7 of the sage vocation or by rank 8 of the [[Malevolantern (Vocation)|Malevolantern]] monster vocation, playing up the latter's Arabian Nights theme. It costs 20 MP as before. [[That Special Summon]] is the enhanced version, beckoning forth even more powerful beings.
