The '''Slugger''' is a funny looking creature appearing in the main series.
The '''Slugger''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest VI}}. It is a bizarre bug monster known for its dancing abilities.


They are probably more annoying than a real threat, with their [[Sultry Dance]] that has the effect of a character being inactive for a round.
==Characteristics==
Sluggers are unusual, pink-skinned creatures with an appearance similar to that of an anthropomorphic [[Bug family|flea]] or other type of bug. They are more known for dancing in battle rather than being genuine threats, hopping back and forth constantly and trying to get adventurers into the groove with their jigs. The sluggers also have the ability to raise the spirits of their fellow monsters in battle with their dance performances.

Sluggers began appearing in Version 4.4 of the game. Like their previous appearance, they are able to perform a [[Sultry Dance]] and can boost the [[Tension]] of other monsters with [[Egg On]]. They have also gained the ability to perform an [[Weird Dance]] and will call for backup from other sluggers.
 
==={{DQRivals}}===
Slugger appeared in the 3rd card pack, "Cries of the Phoenix and Mother Earth" as a rare card exclusive for [[Priest]] leaders.

==Trivia==
* The slugger's Japanese name Tentsuku (テンツク) is based on the word ''tentsukuten'' (てんつくてん), an onomatopoeia of [[Wikipedia:Taiko|taiko]] drums being played at a festival, relating to the monster's dancing abilities.
