Beast family

File:Beast icon.gif

Wolves were the first members of the beast family introduced to players

Beast Family (Japanese Kanji: 獣 Hiragana:けもの Romanji:Kemono) refers to monsters in Dragon Quest series that take the form of vicious animals, mostly mammals. Usually their names give a hint of the animal they are based on, but several are chimeric in design. In some games, the category also includes non-draconic members of the Bird and Aquatic families.
