Fire ball (monster)
The Fire ball is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest X. It is a red and gold-plated mechanical bird that was introduced as the rarefied monster version of the Clockwork cuckoo, which, according to their bestiary entry in X, are Clockwork cuckoos themselves that went out of control from overheating, though it's currently unknown since there were few sightings.

CharacteristicsEdit
Fire balls are mechanical birds with spherical bodies made of gold, along with golden heads and wings, red head and tail "feathers", and copper-coloured articulated feet. Like the other robotic avians, fire balls are capable of converting their wings into deadly sharp blades and can also shoot out their feathers as if they are darts. True to their name, they can also set their opponents ablaze with a barrage of magical fireballs. When all else fails, they will self-destruct as a last resort.
