Dragon Quest Tact

Magic marionette appears as a B-rank monster of the Inorganic family as part of the limited Dragon Quest V event. It can learn Fizzle, Swoosh, and Kabuff naturally and can take part in Slon the Rook's Battle Road as a party member. It will join the player in the event quest Chapter 4, Episode 1: The Way Back to Orchesterra and can be fully awakened by collecting Magic Marionette Crystals in the Talon Tower. Magic marionettes are faced as enemies starting on B2 and every 5th basement until the 22nd. The lower floors of the tower are more difficult, but have higher chances of dropping the crystals.
