Bellyflop, occasionally known as Body Press, is a recurring skill in the Dragon Quest series. It was first used by the heligator and its variants as a way attack a group of enemies by leaping into their air and slamming down with their immense bulk, and has since been used by similarly dense monsters.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit]
Bellyflop is used by steely statues, Xenlon, and the Grand Dragon. It targets the whole party and uses the normal damage calculation, meaning it can be dampened with Kabuff.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake[edit]
Bellyflop functions the same as it did in the past iterations of the game.
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit]
Bellyflop is an enemy-only skill that damages the entire party. It inflicts non-elemental damage that can only be reduced by defending.
| Monster | Damage range |
|---|---|
| Heligator | 81~99 |
| Darkodile | 86~105 |
| Darkodile* | 108~132 |
| Crocodog | 135~165 |
- World of Light version
Dragon Quest X[edit]
There are a few variations of Bellyflop in this game. The leaf spirit and its variants use a version that simply deals 150% damage to a single target. Killer gila and its variants use a version that deals damage in a fan-shaped area in front of them and can knock back. The version used by the heligator and its cousins is similar to its original appearance, inflicting 130% damage to a target and any nearby characters and knocking them back, as well.
Dragon Quest Treasures[edit]
Bellyflop is learned by cyber bullies and hoodlums at level 1. The muscle-bound monsters leap into the air and collide with their target like professional wrestlers, dealing impact damage for 2 MP.
Dragon Quest Tact[edit]
Body Press can be learned by heligator at level 42 and costs 49 MP to use. It inflicts 175% potency physical damage to all enemies in a rhombus-shaped area around it and has a chance to bind them, as well.
