Dragon Quest monster Spitnik

Art by Akira Toriyama Japanese シャイニング Romaji Shainingu First appearance Dragon Quest VIII

The spitnik is recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. It has the appearance of a sun with a trailing satellite orbiting around it, both displaying wide smiles.

Characteristics

The sputnik is a large, spherical orange monster that resembles an anthropomorphic sun or star. It has a perpetually grinning face, along with a squat nose and beady eyes, and the back of its body is covered with sharp spikes, meant to evoke the image of a star's corona. It also has a smaller satellite with a grinning face orbiting its body that looks like a comet with a long, trailing tail. The spitnik attacks by swallowing its satellite and spitting it at enemies, after which it returns to the spitnik.
