The franchise also includes several spin-off series, including ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]'' and ''[[Slime MoriMori Dragon Quest]]'', as well as arcade games like the Japanese game ''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road]]''.[20] Several games in both the ''Mystery Dungeon'' and ''Itadaki Street'' series have characters from the ''Dragon Quest'' games.

In 1993, Chunsoft created a Super Famicom game in Japan for [[Taloon|Torneko]](トルネコ, ''romanized as Torneco'')[21], or Taloon, a fictional character first appearing in ''Dragon Quest IV''.[23] The game, titled ''[[Torneko no Daibōken: Fushigi no Dungeon]]'' which loosely translates to ''Torneco's Great Adventure: Mysterious Dungeon'', was a roguelike which continued Torneko's story from ''Dragon Quest IV'', where he wished to make his store grow even further by venturing into mysterious dungeons and getting more items for stock. It was very successful, both on namesake and quality. A direct sequel to ''Torneco no Daibouken'' came out in Japan and the United States in 2000 called ''[[Torneko: The Last Hope]]''. This game was very similar to the first, but it is considered much easier by comparison.[23] It was received well enough in Japan to warrant a third direct sequel, on the PlayStation 2, titled ''[[Torneco no Daibouken 3: Fushigi no Dungeon]]''. Both the second and third Torneko games were also ported to the Game Boy Advance. Following the success of Torneko, many other Fushigi no Dungeon games were published by various companies (most of which developed by Chunsoft), among the best known are Chocobo no Fushigina Dungeon and Nightmare of Druaga: Mysterious Dungeon.

Three spin-offs are played by physically swinging a controller using it as a sword to slash enemies among other things. ''[[Kenshin Dragon Quest]]'' is a stand alone game which comes with the a toy sword as the controller, and a toy shield containing the game's hardware.[24] ''[[Dragon Quest Swords]]'' is an exclusive Wii title which uses the motion sensing abilities of the Wii Remote similarly. Finally, a card-based arcade game, known as ''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road]]'' and developed by Level-5, was released exclusively in Japan.[25]
