First appearance | Dragon Quest VII |
The notso macho (formerly Dumbira) is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest VII, it is an obese, yellow humanoid armed with a sword and savage expression.
Characteristics
Notso machos are rather fat creatures with yellow skin, albeit the green tops of their heads and 'ears', and black eyes with red irises. They are constantly slack-jawed with tongue lolling out and wear metal bands around their wrists and ankles. Their weapon of choice is a very large single-edged sword, which they constantly have at the ready to draw.
While intelligence may be the last word one would attach to these creatures, they are far more versatile than their appearances would let on. Already boasting impressive attack power, notso machos can typically bolster this with Oomph to make themselves an even greater threat.
A recurring animation of the notso macho is when it swings its sword with too much strength, causing itself to pivot around and visibly fall back on its rear-end.

Etymology
Notso macho's name is meant to be interpreted as 'not so macho'. 'Macho' is a term adopted from the Spanish word for 'male' used to characterize something that is manly, either in appearance or demeanor. While these monsters' mannerisms may be befitting the word, their blubbery bodies certainly aren't.
