Sometimes, it can replace a flower at dawn if the following conditions are met:

  • The player is on Isle of Awakening or a Buildertopia.
  • The terrain is fertile soil. (Earth blocks, humus blocks, etc. Terrains such as Arid Earth blocks won't work,)
  • There are at least two additional flowers in nearby blocks.

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince[edit]

Fright Bulb is one of the four possible starter monsters. Monty will offer it if the player answers "Yes" to both of his questions: “Would you say you prefer lovable monster to more rugged types?” and “And do you like more compact monsters?”.
