This is a page of pre-release and unused content for Dragon Quest XI.
Unused Monsters
Several monsters were made unused according to data digging in the 3DS version.
Unused Returning Monsters
Monsters returning from past games were meant to appear, but went unused for unknown reasons. They consisted of Gigahammer and Pazuzu.
Unused Returning Rarefied Monsters
Many more rarefied monsters were planned to be in the game, but went unused for unknown reasons. The planned monsters consisted of Spiked clubber, a Multicolour mannequin and a Bodkin bloodbow.
King Kelp family
At one point, King kelp, Wailin' weed and General algae were going to be in the game. Where they'll be located once is unknown.
Nokturnus
Supposedly, Nokturnus was going to appear, it's coloring is based on the old sprites from the SNES version of Dragon Quest VI. Or maybe it was panned to be another Dhuran related monster at the time.
