Puppet player

Dragon Quest monster Puppet player

Art by Akira Toriyama Japanese マペットマン First appearance Dragon Quest VIII

The puppet player is a monster from Dragon Quest VIII. It is a stronger, sandy-brown variant of the puppeteer (with different puppets).

Characteristics

As is the case with the weaker puppeteer, puppet players appear to be near-fully covered in clothing, their garb being a light shade of brown. One of the more distinct differences between the monsters is the puppets they employ: puppet players have a drackyma on their right arms and a golem on their left.
