{{Translation|'''Morrie Mozzarella'''|モリー, Morī}} is a mostly comical character, introduced in {{DQ8}}. He also acts as the host for the ''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle (series)|Monster Battle]]'' sub-series, and makes numerous cameos throughout the series.

Morrie is an absurd middle-aged man whose life is dedicated to the thrill of watching monsters battle one another in gladiatorial bouts, having spent a considerable fortune creating his [[Monster Arena]]. Morrie is prone to fits of intense passion, fully dedicating himself to any decision once he has made up his mind on something--this passion is what attracted the entourage of bunny girls he employs to his pit in the first place. Large walls of flame appear behind Morrie when is especially impassioned for extra dramatic flair, akin to visual gags seen in anime. The {{3DS}} version revealed that these flames are real, and that Morrie can put them to use during combat. At the end of battles, he poses dramatically with his weapon in midair while his allies simply holster their equipment. Despite his incredible eccentricities, Morrie is not as foolhardy as one might assume at first glance: [[Party chat]] in the {{3DS}} version shows that he takes his position as the oldest member of the group seriously.

In {{DQHRS}}, '''Morrie Morrie'''  is a little, orange slime (in some way similar to a [[She-slime]], although Morrie Morrie is clearly male, with his furry beard and eyebrows still on him) and now uses his white scarf as a white bandau.

The {{Hero 8}} and company first encounter Morrie on the rooftop of his [[Monster Arena]]. Sensing something special in the {{Hero 8}}, Morrie sends him to capture three "infamous monsters" to deem the {{Hero 8}} worthy to enter his arena. Once the {{Party 8}} has succeeded in making the captures, Morrie allows The {}Hero 8}} to compete in his Monstrous Pit on one condition: he must compete with '''GUSTO!'''

Morrie will join upon the completion of Rank S at the [[Monster Arena]], which can be done after the {{Party 8}} takes care of [[Evil Jessica|matters]] at [[Arcadia]].  Prior to that, Morrie mentions that he would need time to prepare for their competition. Following on from Morrie's defeat, he joins the {}Hero 8}} to help him with his dream in return for fulling his dream which was finding someone superior to him as a monster trainer. His role in the story is minimal due to him being an optional party member, though during the party's arrest he helps []Red]], along with [[Trode]] and [[Medea]] in finding them on [[Purgatory Island]].

To determine whether The {{Hero 8}} and his party are worthy to compete in the [[Monster Arena]], Morrie hands out three notes referred to as '''Morrie's Memo'''.  Each one gives the location of a specific {{MFamilies}} and their description.

*His appearance is loosely based on [[Akira Toriyama]]'s own Mr. Satan/Hercule character from the famous ''Dragon Ball'' series.

*In his clash with the {{Hero 8}} inside the Monster Arena it is revealed that his last name is Mozzarella through the announcer's introductions in the Rank S finals.
