The jailcat is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest VIII.

Characteristics

Jailcats are large cats with white fur and blue stripes all over their bodies. Their names are derived from their stripe pattern, which gives the jailcat an appearance similar to the blue and white striped uniforms commonly worn by prisoners. They have a tuft of orange fur on top of their heads and a very long tongue that trails out of their permanently open mouths. Just like the other cats in their family, jailcats have a tendency to space out in battle, spending time washing themselves like ordinary housecats. They are not to be taken lightly though, since they are capable of casting Crack on their enemies. When casting magic, they perform a handstand on their front paws and their eyes bulge out.

Appearances

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride

While jailcats debuted in Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King, they also appear in the Nintendo DS and mobile remakes of Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride, replacing the generic great sabrecub enemies to prevent confusion with Saber. It's possible to recruit one shortly after obtaining the wagon in Fortuna; the jailcat is somewhat unique being the only monster able to cast Crack (which normally isn't available until much later), and can last until the third generation.
