The Bag o' laughs is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest III.

It is a mischievous monster with the appearance of a bag with a drawstring.

Characteristics

The standard Bag o' laughs appears as a cartoonish, blue burlap bag with a face that consists of two eyes, rosy cheeks, and a fanged mouth with tongue lolling out.

Bag o' laughs are just as annoying as their beige brethren, casting debilitating magic instead of directly attacking and thus are most dangerous when encountered along with more ferocious monsters that take advantage of their adventurer enfeebling.

Try to get these nuisances bagged and tagged before they can empty your MP with a Weird Dance.
