Revision as of 18:06, 19 January 2022

The Man o' war is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line, it is a seagoing monster capable of inducing paralysis.

Characteristics

In terms of appearance, man o' wars are pale pallid versions of healslimes. Their floats are often a dull, grayish color while their tentacles sport a dark blue-green shade. In some games, the float is colored sky blue and their tentacles are a darker shade of blue.

Despite this similarity, man o' wars have no healing abilities. They are aquatic monsters well-versed in the use of paralysis-inducing abilities, with a swarm of man o' wars being as potentially dangerous as instant-death inducing monsters. They are often capable of calling for backup from more of their kind. In games where paralysis is not a status ailment such as II and Heroes, they are capable of putting enemies to sleep instead. Depending on the game, they may be considered part of the Slime family.

Etymology

The man o' war's English name is based on the Portuguese man o' war, a hydrozoan found in the Atlantic and Indian ocean known for its venomous nematocysts which can deliver a sting powerful enough to kill fish and severe pain and occasionally death to humans. Despite its superficial appearance to a jellyfish, the two are not related.
