==Details==
A Monster Heart is the crystallization of a monster's essence. It holds the characteristics of a monster. When a person takes this heart to the {{Alltrades Abbey 7}}, or an abbot or [[Jacqueline|abbess]] from such a temple, the person can assume that monster's 'class' to acquire the qualities of said monster, eventually becoming it.

In {{DQMCH}}, two monster hearts are applied to a single monster when it goes through reform.

A monster whose {{Vocation}} can be undertaken has a rare chance of dropping a Monster Heart, and several can be found when exploring villages and dungeons:


The [[Slaughtomaton]] will not drop an Slaughtomaton Heart because it is only fought once in the game. The boss [[Golem]] in [[The Tower]] will not drop a Golem Heart because it is only fought once. However, there are [[Collum o' golem]] that may drop a Golem Heart.
*A [[Healslime (vocation)|healslime]] heart can be found in [[La Bravoure]]
*A [[Walking corpse (vocation)|walking corpse]] heart can be found in the [[Sunken Citadel]] in the past
*A [[Berserker (vocation)|berserker]] heart can be found in the [[Hardlypool Tunnel]] in the past after [[Gracos]] is defeated

==={{DQ7R}}===
Monster vocations have been removed in the second remake and as such monster hearts have been repurposed into a kind of accessory to be equipped to a character. The hearts grant passive abilities such as the common slime increasing a character's evasion, similar to the [[List of medals in Dragon Quest Treasures|medals found in ''Dragon Quest Treasures'']]
