List of recruitable monsters that can join the party in Dragon Quest VI. Please note that the DS remakes significantly altered the way recruitment works, and so will be listed separately from the SNES version.
SNES version[]
Similarly to the recruitment system of Dragon Quest V, the following monster species are obtainable in this version of the game as long as they are defeated in battle and any present party member is currently a Monster Master:
- Battering ram
- Boss troll
- Dreamaera
- Feralball
- Gustbluster
- Healslime
- High djinks
- Lesser demon
- Liquid metal slime
- Lips
- Mud mannequin
- Overkilling machine
- Rockbomb
- Slime
- Slime knight
- Sluggernaut
- Walking corpse
DS version[]
The DS version and subsequent re-releases, decided to drop the randomly-based monster recruitment system of the original SNES version, instead providing several monster companions, each with their own personality, that can be optionally be recruited into the party. Interestingly, with only one remarkable exception, all of these monster companions belong to the Slime family.
- Curie, a feisty Cureslime.
- Goober, a young common Slime.
- Goowain, a gallant Slime knight.
- Healie, a timid Healslime.
- Kingsley, a fashion-forward King slime.
- Lizzie, a female Hacksaurus with the heart of a young maiden who, despite being initially an enemy during the main story, will join the party if spoken to after Terry joins the party.
- Mercury, a Liquid metal slime.
- Shelley, a somewhat negative Seaslime.
- Spot, a cowardly Mottle slime.
