The '''Cumaulus''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}.  
The '''Cumaulus''' is a monster in the series.


Introduced in {{Dragon Quest III}}, it is a grey cloud come to life.
==Characteristics==
Cumauluses are small grey [[Elemental family|cloud]]s with sinister human faces on them, capable of floating around like normal clouds. Its puffy features give the cloud's face the appearance of having chubby cheeks. They are also capable of dispersing their entire bodies and reforming them in order to attack. While not particularly powerful on their own, they can quickly become nuisances since they appear in large groups and can attack foes with fire magic. In ''X'' and ''Heroes II'', the cumauluses instead gained the ability to manipulate lightning and cast [[Zap]] against opponents instead.


==Characteristics==
Cumaulus's name is play on [[Wikipedia:Cumulus_cloud|cumulus clouds]], which are puffy and cotton-like just like the enemy, and "maul", which means to damage seriously. The monster's Japanese name Gizmo is derived from {{translation|''Gaseous Lifeform Gizmo''|ガス状生物ギズモ,|Gasu-jō Seibutsu Gizumo}}, a science-fiction story originally known as ''War with the Gizmos'', written by American writer [[Wikipedia:Murray Leinster|Murray Leinster]]. It was published in Japan in 1969.
