In the Dragon Quest III remakes, scatterbrain is a personality that improves agility growth, but reduces every other attribute growth.

At the start of the game, the hero becomes a scatterbrain by receiving the final test of character in the cave. The hero must follow all the signs and go for the treasure instead of exiting the cave.

Other party members have a chance to be a scatterbrain when recruited as any class, depending on their stat bonuses.
