Appearances edit

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation edit

In the Dragon Quest III remakes, meathead is a personality that improves strength growth, but reduces agility, wisdom, and luck growth.

The hero cannot become a meathead at the start of the game.

Other party members have a chance to be a meathead when talent scouted at Patty's Party Planning Place, depending on their stat bonuses.
