Pink sanguini

Dragon Quest monster Pink sanguini

Art by Akira Toriyama Japanese ピンクモーモン Romaji Pinku mōmon First appearance Dragon Quest IX

The pink sanguini is a monster in Dragon Quest IX. It is a slightly more mature version of a teeny sanguini.

Characteristics

Pink sanguinis have pink furry round bellies, large ears also covered in pink fur, and four small paws. Pink sanguinis have two small eyes and a big mouth which they usually keep shut. On their back, they have a pair of black bat wings and an also black devilish tail.

When they are angry, their eyes turn red and their open mouths reveal their sharp teeth.

Pink sanguinis can further mature into bloody manguinis if they go to sleep with their bellies stuffed with blood, or turn into Batmandrills according to their Dragon Quest X bestiary entry. If the transformation fails, they will become genie sanguinis instead.

Etymology

• In both English and Japanese, Pink refers to the color of the monster.
• Sanguini is derived from "sanguine", which has multiple relevant definitions. The more common definition (derived from Humorism) is "cheerfully optimistic, hopeful, or confident", but the older defintion is "bloody" or "sanguinary", referring to the Sanguini's primary diet.
• Moomon (モーモン) appears to be a portmanteau of the Japanese rendition of the cow cry, "moo" (mō, モー), with "demon" (dēmon, デーモン).
