Donk

Donk Japanese ベタン Rōmaji Betan Type Debilitating

Donk is a spell introduced in Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2. When cast, it reduces an enemy's HP by a fixed amount. Resistance to this spell is based on accuracy, rather than damage mitigation. It's successor, Kadonk, affects a wider range of enemies.

The spell itself first appeared in Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken, however, in the manga, the spell itself was gravity-based and creates a high-pressure gravity field to attack the opponent.
