| First appearance | Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride |
| Old localization | MadCat (Monsters and Monsters 2) |
A combination of characteristics from every major feline family, the species stands out as being easily tamable compared to most other monsters and real-world cats. Having made an excellent first impression with players in 1992, the Great sabrecats have become a fixture of spin-off titles ever since.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed KingEdit
Great sabrecats can be summoned by ringing Baumren's bell. The sabrecat will then transport the player around the world map at a faster rate than walking, except for Empycchu island. This side quest is found at Chateau Felix. Additionally, using the Baumren's bell in a battle with Great sabrecats would cause them to leave the batlle.
