The '''Cruelcumber''' is one of the first enemies encountered in [[Dragon Quest IX]].


{{Enemy
The '''Cruelcumber''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}} that made its debut in {{Dragon Quest IX}}.
| name=Cruelcumber
 
| image=Cruelcumber.PNG
It is an anthropomorphic spear-wielding summer squash.
| family=Plant
 
| type=Cucumber
==Characteristics==
| game= Dragon Quest IX
The Cruelcumber and their cousins are tribal looking [[Nature family|vegetables]] with deranged smiles, their tongues flailing about as they fight. Interestingly, a bit of dishwater blonde hair extends from the tip of their stem, giving them a look reminiscent of the ''[[Wikipedia:chonmage|Chonmage]]'', a traditional Japanese topknot hairstyle. Cruelcumbers have a rivalry with [[Orc]]s over who are the better spearmen, according to their bestiary entry in {{X}}.

At the start of the game, one Cruelcumber and two [[Slime]]s are fought off by the {{Hero 9}} and [[Aquila]] before they can threaten [[Erinn]] and her grandfather.

Cruelcumbers began appearing in Version 5.0 of the game, this time being stronger than both their [[Zumeanie]] and [[Scourgette]] cousins by virtue of being introduced later in the game. They can perform [[Multithrust]] and lunging attacks with their spears, as well as being able to cast [[Oomph]].

Now back to the first of its kind for the first time since its debut, they are one of the first {{MFamilies}}s fought by the Luminary on his quest. This monster does not have a vicious, nor a malicious variant.

Cruelcumber is one of the four possible starter monsters [[Psaro (Character)|Psaro]] can receive at the beginning of the game. Monty will offer it if the player answers "No" to the question: “Would you say you prefer lovable monsters to more rugged types?”, "Yes" to “Would you prefer a monster with sleek skin to one that's on the furrier side?”, and "No" to “Do you like weird and wonderful monsters?”.
