| | |
| The '''brownie''' is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest series|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in {{DQ5}}, it is a stronger version of the [[hammerhood]], a small, [[Giant mallet|hammer]]-wielding monster.
| |
| | |
| ==Characteristics==
| |
| Brownies are yellow-skinned palette swaps of hammerhoods, bearing an orange-brown coloring and wielding a dark, grayish blue hammer.
| |
| | |
| Comparatively, brownies aren't too different from hammerhoods, the two monsters essentially having the same purpose as being mostly incompetent creatures that occasionally get off a lucky shot. Brownies tend to have more HP and greater attack power since they have to fulfill this role against players that are no longer troubled by hammerhoods.

| The player is liable to encounter brownies while traveling between Maella Abbey and Ascantha. They are capable of psyching up to 100 in a single turn, though they usually waste this on trying to perform a desperate attack that seems to always fail. A roaming brownie that can be recruited to the player's monster team can also be found north of Peregrin Quay.
