===Bosses===

Players of other games in the ''Dragon Quest'' series will recognize many of the bosses and boss levels. Examples include the [[Golem]] guarding the town of [[~~Mercado~~]] and the [[Green dragon|Dragon]] holding [[Princess Gwaelin]] captive (both from the original ''[[Dragon Quest]]''). Some bosses in the game offer to join the player's party automatically, some have to be won over with meat, and some will not join at all.

==Remakes==

==Remakes and re-releases==

The game and its sequel ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters 2]]'' were remade and released as ''Dragon Quest Monsters 1 + 2'' for the PlayStation 1. However, it was only released in Japan and an unofficial translation surfaced, but was never completed/released.

The game has also been remade for the 3DS in Japan as ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland 3D]]''. At this time, it is not likely to be released elsewhere in the world.

On September 13th, 2019 a surprise announcement was made through Square-Enix's social media accounts, revealing the game will be ported to the Nintendo Switch on September 17th. This new port has been dubbed ''Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland '''RETRO''''', and includes the ability to switch between monochrome and colored graphics, a variety of display boarders reminiscent of the Super Gambeoy that also display the stats of Terry's monsters in addition to just the current HP and MP, and an auto-mapping feature that can be toggled on or off. The game is digital only, and costs only 1,500 yen.
