Where to Find Every Friendly Monster in Dragon Quest 3 Remake

As a seasoned adventurer with years of exploring the mystical realms under my belt, I must say that this guidebook is truly a treasure trove for those embarking on their own quests. Each creature, from the mighty Wyrtle to the enigmatic Xenlon, is meticulously detailed and accompanied by intriguing maps that will surely guide many an aspiring hero.


In the thrilling update of Dragon Quest 3 Remake, one standout feature is the revamped Monster Arena. Unlike the original version, the arena mechanics have undergone a significant transformation in this remake. As you progress through the game, you’ll come across various friendly creatures that can be captured and enlisted for battles in the Monster Arena. These creatures will engage in combat, providing you with opportunities to earn some exceptionally valuable prizes. Moreover, each monster you capture will enhance the new vocation in the game, the Monster Wrangler in DQIII Remake. This guide aims to help you locate every friendly creature found within Dragon Quest 3 Remake and the rewards that come with their capture.

All Friendly Monsters in Dragon Quest 3 Remake

In the Dragon Quest 3 Remake, there are numerous Friendly Monsters that make it essential to categorize them based on their monster species. Each species has a minimum of two Friendly Monsters scattered throughout the game world. For instance, Gobblerbert and Antony are both known as Antgobblers. The first monster you encounter from each species serves as the baseline, with every subsequent monster of the same species acting as an enhancement to the original.

In this manual, you’ll find a sorted list of Friendly Monsters arranged by monster category, with the Antgobbler being the first one listed. Each type may have as many as three distinct versions, each bearing its own unique name such as Gobblebert. Feel free to search for monsters either by their type or their individual names. However, do remember that not every monster in this list can be easily captured. For tips on capturing these friendly creatures in the Dragon Quest 3 Remake, please refer to our dedicated guide.

Keep in mind, monsters aren’t exclusively tied to specific locations. Following our sequence will yield the same outcome, but altering the order of your visits might lead to different results. For instance, if there are four types of the same monster and four distinct locations, the first location you explore will always have the base version of that monster. It’s possible that a monster on our list was found in a different location; that’s fine. Just ensure you visit every location, and you’ll collect all monsters.
