Monster recruitment was added in {{DQ3HD}} in a system very similar to {{DQ8|short}}. However, in this case, there is no need to defeat said monsters in battle.


At different areas on the game, there will be friendly monsters the player can interact with. Some will be instantly recruited by just talking to them, while some might require the player to have a [[Monster Wrangler]] with them (or the [[Padfoot]] ability, the item [[Musk]], the item [[Fading Jenny]] or the [[Fade]] ability, depending on what they're sensitive to), or [[Ra's Mirror]] if they turned to the shape of a human.

The GBC Monsters titles take a similar approach to V & VI with monster recruitment, with defeated monsters having a chance to be recruited after battle, however the chance can be greatly enhanced by using [[monster munchies]], or other types of meat in battle.

In Caravan Heart the monster recruitment takes a departure from the previous two entries, due to the game's breeding mechanics being adjusted to focus on using [[monster heart|monster hearts]] to empower Guard Monsters.
There are around 7 Guard Monsters that [[Kiefer]] can recruit into the caravan, three of which being mandatory with the remaining ones being optional.

Recruitment is implemented via the ''Scout'' option in the battle menu. When selected, the player's team of {{MFamilies}}s will perform a group assault on the target to impress the {{MFamilies}} into joining. The percentile chance is displayed onscreen, and can easily reach 100% if the group's sum attack power is high enough. However, if the enemy is too durable then the assault can easily leave the player with a big fat 0%--it is imperative to apply [[Oomph]] and [[Sap]] to raise the chances even higher.
*In {{Joker 2}}, tossing a bundle of [[beastie bites]] at the foe will raise the chance by a flat 10%.
=={{DQM3}}==
Monster recruitment builds upon the foundation laid by the ''Joker'' sub-series, but now the wisdom stat will be used for scouting calculation if it is higher than a monster's attack stat. Additionally the [[Big Bully]] and [[Little Menace]] will increase the scouting chance when used against larger or smaller monsters.

While monsters retain a base chance to join the player upon defeat as in previous games, the chance can be greatly enhanced by using [[monster munchies]] in battle.

=={{DQMJ}} series==
Within ''Treasures'' there exists around 74 monsters that can be found exploring the five islands, and excluding boss and most NPCs, any monster found can be recruited by [[Erik]] and [[Mia]]. Unlike the Monsters spinoffs, due to the absence of dedicated [[Monster Families|monster families]], monsters are instead divided into one of 18 subspecies, with each subspecies sharing a [[Fortes|Forte]], [[List of food in Dragon Quest Treasures|favorite food]], and item drop (if applicable) amongst all members.
