The Manguini is a monster in Dragon Quest IX

Characteristics

The manguini is a demon with blue skin, wings, and a green underbelly. They are the matured forms of Teeny sanguinis, which will turn into manguinis after drinking enough blood from other creatures. They have long arms that practically trail on the ground, ending in sharp claws that they use in vicious slashing attacks.
