Robo-robins are robotic birds with heavy iron bodies. Their round bodies are dark grey with silver edging, green 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 are capable of shooting 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.
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 limited Dragon Quest VIII, appearing alongside Jessica on her banner. It can participate in Yangus's Battle Road as a party member.
