'''Fluffy''' is a supporting character in {{DQM}} and currently a {{MFamilies}} exclusive to games in the spin-off series.
 
He is the guardian spirit of [[GreatTree]] and the monster that brings [[Terry]] to that kingdom in his debut appearance.
 
==Localization history==
The {{MFamilies}}'s first localization name is a direct adaptation of his Japanese moniker, with no modification for English speaking territories at all. With the overseas release of the second {{Joker}} game, the name '''Fluffy''' was used instead. Due to the difficulty of actually acquiring the {{MFamilies}}, many fans were unaware of this change and continued using the original name.
 
With Seven Seas' publishing of the ''DQM+'' manga in 2019, the Fluffy term was revived. As the book is licensed through Square-Enix, this change was given full acknowledgement and approval by the company.
 
With the release of {{DQTreasures}} in 2022 the use of the name Fluffy has been made more apparent and is established as the {{MFamilies}}'s official English name.

==Characteristics==
Fluffy is a small, furry creature that carries traits similar to those of monkeys. He is primarily blue in color and has a ball on the end of an antenna sticking out the top of his head.

Fluffy is a playful sort, if not also blunt at times. While he appears frequently through ''Dragon Quest Monsters'', there is never much to discern from his character other than an abundance of optimism, even in the face of grim situations.

While distressed at hearing [[Warubou]] having gotten to her first, he allows Terry to follow him back to GreatTree so that he may become the monster master of the kingdom.
Fluffy appears in the Monster Arena in Version 2 of the game, alongside Scruffy. Fluffy organizes timed events which involve 8 or 12-player battle modes that require each player to control a monster. Scruffy, on the contrary, is always avaiable and offers harder monster-oriented battle content, in which the player and three more computer-controlled monsters fight against a team of monsters and gather rewards upon victory.

'''Fluffy'''  appears at the beginning of the game, looking for [[Terry]]'s sister [[Milly]]. While distressed at hearing [[Scruffy]] having gotten to her first, he allows [[Terry]] to follow him back to [[GreatTree]] so that he may become the [[Monster Master]] of the kingdom.
 
Fluffy will appear whenever the player beats a boss {{MFamilies}} at the end of a gate the first time, often giving a humorous quip before taking [[Terry]] back to [[GreatTree]]. The player can also occasionally meet him in the {{MFamilies}} stables when they first become available. Fluffy will be sitting at a wooden table while eating some meat, and will offer some to [[Terry]] if he continues to speak with him. After the player beats the game, they will get the chance to have Fluffy join their team, though only after they have beaten all the bosses that stand at the end of each family-specific gate.

In his initial appearance, Fluffy was a member of the {{Plant}} family due to his being guardian of the massive tree the game takes place upon.<br>

Fluffy has been sealed away by [[Terry]], who has been corrupted by the jewel of evil. Before being completely sealed, he recruits [[Kleo]] to aid [[GreatTree]] after a misunderstanding of the youth becoming a [[Hero (vocation)|Hero]] through the ordeal instead of a Monster [[Master]].
