The Monster munchies are key item in Dragon Quest VII. Having the item in possession allows for monster recruitment even when a Monster masher is not in the party. Monster munchies are available in the office of the Monster Meadows.
Remake[edit]
In the original Sony PlayStation port, Nottagen had to be saved for the obtaining of this item, while the Nintendo 3DS port makes the M.M. office accessible through a teleportal from The Haven. This means monster taming can happen much sooner than before, but the enclosures must still be built before the monsters can be interacted with—monsters that are tamed prior to the building of their enclosure are not lost and will appear once the habitat is constructed.
Dragon Quest Monsters & Dragon Quest Monsters 2[edit]
Monster munchies return to being store-bought, common items, but are much more handy than before. Throwing a bag of meat at an enemy monster will greatly improve it's attitude towards the player, and several servings can be used in a single battle for a nearly 100% chance to recruit even metal monsters.
Dragon Quest Builders 2[edit]
The Builder will receive a bundle of monster munchies during the events of Skelkatrez, and will be able to produce their own at a brick barbecue with one frogstool and one bit of dry grass. When certain enemies are defeated in Explorer's Shores islands, a 30 second timer will appear over them and players can offer food to tame them and take them back to the Island of Awakening.
