The Feralball is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest, introduced in Dragon Quest VI. They are the second-weakest monster after Mottle slimes, and as such hardly pose a threat to even the most green adventurer. In the SNES version of the game, they are one of the easiest monsters to recruit after battle.

Characteristics

Feralballs is a three-eyed, neon green-furred mammal of small stature, with two antennae that terminate in red puffballs. Their fur gives it the appearance of being covered in moss or grass. It attacks by rolling itself into a ball and tackling the enemy.

Other Appearances

Dragon Quest VII

In the 3DS version, feralballs appear as special monsters in the Barbarous Barbershop and Gooing Strong DLC tablets. They are around the same strength as their Dragon Quest VI counter parts and use the same rolling attacks, with a slighter stronger variant.

Dragon Quest Monsters

Known as PillowRat in the English version, they can be encountered in the Villager and Memories Traveler's Gates. PillowRats belong to the Beast family and learn SideStep, Ramming, and CallHelp naturally. PillowRats can be bred with a combination of any member of the Beast family as the pedigree and any member of the Plant family as a mate.
