==Monsters Series==

In the ~~monster~~ series ~~of games, you main quest centers around The Arena~~. There are differences in each game but as a whole ~~you can give your monsters commands~~ and as ~~you win you unlock~~ a new ~~Rank~~. Dragon Quest Monsters ~~Joker~~ is the ~~only exception~~. Joker ~~give you~~ two arena's ~~one that you have to fight~~ in ~~to complete~~ the game ~~and one~~ that ~~you can fight~~ in ~~for fun~~, ~~however in~~ the ~~fun one you can't control your monsters~~.

Arenas often play a sizable role in the Monsters series. There are differences in each game but as a whole the player must usually issue tactics and is prohibited from giving direct orders in the battles held in the arenas. Battles in these arenas are organized by rank, with ranks in the games ranging from G to A, sometimes extending into S and even X ranks. Each rank typically consists of three battles, with the difficulty rising with the next opponent and rank.

===[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]===

The Arena plays a major role in ''Dragon Quest Monsters'', as the completion of a rank will open up new areas to explore and train and tame monsters in. Initially, the player will only have access to ranks G to D, but will be able to participate in C to S upon winning in D rank and solving the trouble with the Gate of Anger. After winning in S rank and completing the Gate of Reflection the player will be able to participate in the Starry Night Tournament, which functions similarly to an arena rank battle.

All ranks, with the exception of G rank, require a participation fee, with higher ranks demanding a higher price. It is possible to skip ranks in the arena, with the exception of G rank, since gold cannot be gained until clearing this rank, D rank, since it is the last available rank until it is won and the Gate of Anger is completed, and S rank, the rank that must be won in order to participate in the tournament.

===[[Dragon Quest Monsters 2]]===

Given the crisis GreatLog faces, the arena no longer plays as big a role as it did in the first game, though the player is still required to participate in order to gain the magic key to the sea world.

===[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker]]===

Two arenas exist in Green Bays: one on Domus Isle that is reserved for the Monster Scout Challenge and one on Xeroph Isle that operates more closely to the arenas of the first two games. While the Xeroph arena does not have to be cleared during the main game, winning all of its ranks is a requirement of Solitaire's Challenge in the post game.

===[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2]]===

:<small>[[Arena (Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2)]]</small>

An arena maintained by moles plays a similar role in ''Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2'' to that of the arena in the first Monsters game. Like the first, clearing specific ranks will open up new areas to the player, and some ranks cannot be selected until these new areas have been explored and the story has been progressed.
