The '''puppeteer''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]'', it is a [[Humanoid family|humanoid]] monster armed with hand puppets. | |||
==Characteristics== | |||
Puppeteers wear outfits that completely cover their forms with only their blank eyes being visible through the eye-holes in their masks, much like those worn by stagehands in traditional Japanese theater known as ''[[Wikipedia:Kuroko|kuroko]]''. This concealing garb is mostly a black color with some blue and green, likely to focus attention towards the more colorful puppets used by the puppeteer, namely a [[lump mage]] on their right arms and a [[slime]] on their left. It also carries a puppet of a [[dracky]] and a [[golem]] that it uses when telling different stories. The puppeteer can also envelop its enemies in illusions and uses its slime puppet to perform punches. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
The design of the Puppeteer and the other puppet-carrying monsters is based on Japanese comedy duo Puppet Muppet (パペットマペット, ''Papetto mapetto''), who consist of a frog puppet (Kaeru-kun) and a cow puppet (Ushi-kun) who are manipulated by a puppeteer wearing an obscuring black costume known as Kuroko that they do not acknowledge.
