Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland 3D[edit]

The metal heavy appears as a D-rank monster of the Material family.

Etymology[edit]

The Japanese name for this card, Kōtetsumajin, means "Steel Demon", giving rise to the old English name of the monster. However, majin sounds very similar to mashin, the Japanese transliteration of the English word "machine", and the term is often used with mechanical monsters in Dragon Quest like the [Überkilling machine] as a reference to its similar use in the Super Robot series Mazinger. As such, it is likely also a pun on "Steel Machine".
