The '''Magic marionette''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}. Introduced in {{DQ2}}, it is a strengthened version of the [[mud mannequin]].

Animated blood-red bouncing bodies craved of [[Material family|wood]], some say the '''magic marionette''' is actually soaked in the remains of defeated adventurers. They rip magic points right from their enemies with a rigid weird dance, before slapping them silly with their wooden stumpy arms. The coloration of the puppets has changed many times over the years, from teal in their original appearance in ''II'' to brown in ''V'', then grey in their original appearance in ''VI'' before finally settling on dark red in ''VII'' and most modern appearances.
