Monster Wrangler
The Monster Wrangler (まもの使い, Mamono Tsukai) is a powerhouse vocation that relies brute strength in battle and makes up for its shortcoming by making allies of monsters defeated in battle.
AppearancesEdit
Dragon Quest III HD-2D RemakeEdit
The Monster Wrangler was added to the third remake of the third game in the series in 2024, utilizing the design seen in X. Their abilities are based on those of monsters and they can supplement these by recruiting beasts found throughout the world.
The vocation has the inglorious distinction of being the one male design that was censored to satisfy the strictness of the CERO ratings board, with the men now wearing black shirts instead of going bare chested.

Dragon Quest TactEdit
The Hero of Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride was given the title of "Legendary Monster Wrangler" for his appearance as a unit in Tact, marking the first appearance of the term in English media.
