Body Slam is a recurring skill in the Dragon Quest series that first appeared in Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen as an enemy-exclusive ability before becoming a player-usable skill in later installments.

Upon use, it attempts to reduce both the user and target's HP by around 80%. Be wary of using this skill, as the player will still take damage even if they miss their target.

Appearances

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen

It made its first appearance in this game, as a skill exclusively used by enemies. The skill is used by Bullfinch, King slime, and Moosifer. Enemies will only use it when low on HP.

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Body Slam is learned by several monster companions such as the Rockbomb. As the skill shares the same resistance tag with Kamikazee, only the Pink elephant, Blizzybody, Necromancer, Hades' helm, Hyperpyrexion, Mandrake marauder, Bomboulder, Moosifer, Balhib, Archdemon, Great dragon, Deathsquad, Mechan-o'-wyrm, Barbatos, Bilhaw, Metal slimes, and boss monsters have any resistance or immunity at all.

Bomboulder 6
Rockbomb 10
Fandangow 25

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation

Body Slam is learned by Kingsley at Level 10. Other characters can learn it by advancing to rank 6 of the Merchant vocation. Body Slam now uses the same resistance tag as Whack.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past

Body Slam has the same parameters as in the previous game and can be learned at rank 3 as a Sailor (rank 2 in the 3DS version), rank 7 as a Jawtoise and Malevolantern, rank 4 as a Seasaur, and rank 3 as a Platinum king jewel. Ruff has his own variation of the skill called Roar Deal.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

This ability is learned with 48 skill points invested into Courage skill. It is very useful for Quests that require a character to be at low health, giving it some added functionality.

Dragon Quest X

Body Slam can be learned by investing 70 skill points into the Warrior's Courage skill. This time, it has the added effect of being able to stun an enemy, as well as having an 80% chance of knocking them back. It costs 4 MP to use and deals 125% damage of a normal attack. It can also be used by various monsters, including Barbatos, Dragon slime, and Drake slime.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

Body Slam once again appears as an enemy-only skill that can be used by Toadies and Moosifers. It deals 110% damage to a single character and has no recoil effect.

Dragon Quest Monsters

Called Ramming in this game, it requires the monster to reach level 12 with 70 HP and 70 Agility. It is naturally learned by the BullBird, DeathMore (Transformed), GulpBeast, MiniDrak and PillowRat.

Dragon Quest Monsters 2

The requirements to learn Ramming are unchanged. It is naturally learned by the Belzebub, BossTroll, Digong, Drygon, KingSlime, Petiteel, ProtoMech, PutreFish and RockSlime.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker

Body Slam can be learned from:

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2

Body Slam can no longer be learned from Champion, and Berserker now requires 13 points.

Dragon Quest Tact

Body Slam is known naturally by Bunicorn, Golem, Lleviathan, Lucky bag, Medislime, She-slime, Slime, Stark raven, and Sham hatwitch at Level 1, costing 4 MP to use. It inflicts minor martial damage to a single enemy.
