==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
In terms of appearance, Men o' War are just palette swaps of [[Healslime]]s, their floats often a dull, grayish color and their tentacles a dark blue-green shade.
In terms of appearance, man o' wars are pale pallid versions of [[Healslime]]s. Their floats are often a dull, grayish color while their tentacles sport a dark blue-green shade. In some games, the float is colored sky blue and their tentacles are a darker shade of blue.


Despite this similarity, Men o' War have no healing abilities. They are aquatic monsters well-versed in the use of paralysis inducing abilities, with a swarm of Men o' War being as potentially dangerous as instant-death inducing monsters.
Despite this similarity, Man o' wars have no healing abilities. They are [[Aquatic family|aquatic]] monsters well-versed in the use of paralysis-inducing abilities, with a swarm of Man o' wars being as potentially dangerous as instant-death inducing monsters. They are often capable of calling for backup from more of their kind. In games where Paralysis is not a status ailment such as ''II'' and ''Heroes'', they are capable of putting enemies to sleep instead. Depending on the game, they may be considered part of the [[Slime family]].

Latest revision as of 01:41, 24 May 2024

The Man o' war is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest II, it is a seagoing monster capable of inducing paralysis.

Characteristics[edit]

In terms of appearance, man o' wars are pale pallid versions of Healslimes. Their floats are often a dull, grayish color while their tentacles sport a dark blue-green shade. In some games, the float is colored sky blue and their tentacles are a darker shade of blue.

Despite this similarity, Man o' wars have no healing abilities. They are aquatic monsters well-versed in the use of paralysis-inducing abilities, with a swarm of Man o' wars being as potentially dangerous as instant-death inducing monsters. They are often capable of calling for backup from more of their kind. In games where Paralysis is not a status ailment such as II and Heroes, they are capable of putting enemies to sleep instead. Depending on the game, they may be considered part of the Slime family.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line[edit]
