The '''hardy hand''' is a silvery counterpart of the [[muddy hand]] {{MFamilies}}, which has preserved its putrefaction for posterity in a liquid metal coating.

Debuting in the {{Game Boy Color}} port of {{Dragon Quest III}}, it is one of the few bonus {{Monsters}} from that version of the game to be added to later titles.
