For the associated monster class in Dragon Quest VII, see Lips (vocation).

The Lips is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation, it is a slug-like monster with large lips and a dreadful disposition towards kissing adventurers.

Characteristics

Lips appear as odd, upright slugs with small arms, large lips, and what appears to be a pronounced lower jaw. The lips of lips also work to conceal a very long tongue, which the lips can also use in combat. Their underbellies and arms are a peachy shade while the rest of their sluggish form is green and, much like real slugs, spotted.
