Killerpillars are enormous green caterpillars with magenta-colored undersides and a large spike at the end of their tails. They have a series of red spots running down the length of their body, as well as two on their head that can be mistaken for eyes. As its bestiary info states in ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]'', it will not enter a cocoon to become a butterfly or moth. They attack by rolling themselves up like a wheel to strike foes and can be pesky opponents by bolstering their allies' defence with [[Kabuff]], as well as spitting silk to immobilize opponents. In ''[[Dragon Quest Builders]]'', the killerpillars prefer tropical environs and their stingers carry a paralyzing neurotoxin that can leave the player vulnerable to attack for several seconds
