==Localization history== | |||
The name Monster Wrangler is the current English translation of the Japanese ''Mamono Tsukai'', replacing the older [[Monster Master]] nomenclature that was first used in 2011 for the [[Nintendo DS]] remake of {{Dragon Quest VI}}. The Monster Wrangler name was first alluded to in 2019 through the [[wrangler's ring]] item in {{DQB2}} that allowed players to recruit monsters as residents for their villages, and was fully established during the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnaWQhu1Ei8 June 22, 2023 trailer] reveal for {{DQM3}}. The appearance of the {{Hero 5}} of the fifth mainline game in {{DQTact}} with the title of "Legendary Monster Wrangler" followed that same year, and the term was cemented in 2024 with the release of {{DQ3HD}}. | |||
