The '''jailcat''' is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series, introduced in {{DQ8}}. It is a fat, striped cat with a knack for casting ice magic on foes.
 
==Characteristics==
Jailcats are large cats with white fur and blue stripes all over their bodies. Their names are derived from their stripe pattern, which gives the jailcat an appearance similar to the blue and white striped uniforms commonly worn by prisoners. They have a tuft of orange fur on top of their heads and a very long tongue that trails out of their permanently open mouths. Just like the other cats in their family, jailcats have a tendency to space out in battle, spending time washing themselves like ordinary housecats. They are not to be taken lightly though, since they are capable of casting [[Crack]] on their enemies. When casting magic, they stand on the front paws and their eyes bulge out.
 
==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===
While jailcats debuted in {{DQ8}}, they also appear in the [[Nintendo DS]] and mobile remakes of {{DQ5}}, replacing the [[Great sabrecub]]. It's possible to recruit one shortly after obtaining the [[wagon]] in [[Fortuna]]; the jailcat is somewhat unique being the only monster able to cast [[Crack]] (which normally isn't available until much later), and can last until the third generation.

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker]]''===
The jailcat is a Rank E monster of the [[Nature family]]. They are encountered on [[Palaish Isle]] inside Madame Rummy's residence. It learns the skillset "Woosh & Crack" naturally and possesses the trait "Crackmeister". It cannot be damaged by the Crack element.
 
===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2]]''===
The jailcat is a Rank E monster in ''Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2''. Many can be found in the Iceolation area.
 
===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland 3D]]''===
 
==Trivia==
The Great Sabrecub (which the Jailcat replaced) was probably removed because it may have been confusing to some players why [[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|the Hero]] is trying to help a Great sabrecub while other sabrecubs are attacking him outside of town.
