The robo-robin is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest VIII. It is a mechanical bird constructed as a living weapon by a mad scientist.
Robo-robins are robotic birds with heavy iron bodies. Their round bodies are dark grey with silver edging, green metallic feathers on their heads, wings, and tails, and silver articulated feet. Like all of the other mechanical avians, they are capable of retracting their parts into their bodies. The metallic components of the robo-robins gives them a high degree of protection against various spells and status effects. They can shoot out feathers from their wings like razor-sharp flechettes. When the birds have been sufficiently damaged, they have a tendency to self-destruct at will to damage its enemies.
These mechanical birds are the result of a mad scientist's twisted experiment. When they detect a target, they become a deadly whirlwind of razor sharp blades.
Robo-robins appeared from the beginning of the game. They can fire off their feathers with Bird Strike, which lands four random attacks at anyone around it, and can self-destruct with Out with a Bang if their HP is below 40%, inflicting light-elemental damage to any nearby characters.
During battle these mechanical birds faithfully follow their programming, but when left alone, they soon find themselves pondering the meaning of life.
Robo-robin appears as an A-rank monster of the Inorganic family as part of the Dragon Quest VIII, appearing alongside Jessica on her banner. It can participate in Yangus's Battle Road as a party member.
