Dragon Quest monster Mortoad
Art by Akira Toriyama Japanese ガマキャノン Romaji Gama kyanon First appearance Dragon Quest IX

The Mortoad is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. First appearing in Dragon Quest IX, it is an enormous frog monster with gun barrels on its body. Its name is a combination of the words "mortar", a type of cannon, and "toad".

Characteristics

Mortoads are gigantic frog monsters with bluish-purple skin and two sets of gun barrel-like structures mounted on their shoulders that they are known for. The amphibians have white undersides, large mouths that are constantly turned downwards, and small yellow eyes. They use their shoulder cannons for basic artillery attacks or to expel forth sickening snot that can slow adventurers down. From their large mouths, mortoads are able to fire off powerful missile attacks as well, their stomachs displaying a countdown when it is ready to launch.
