The '''Fandangow'''  is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in ''[[Dragon Quest V]]''. It is an orange variant of the [[Cactiball]] reminiscent of sunset in the American southwest. Oddly enough, when it appeared in ''Dragon Quest VII'', it was colored blue rather than orange. This was not a mistake on the artist's part as the cerulean coloration was kept for that game's remake.

==Etymology==
==Etymology==
The fandangow's name is based on the fandango dance, a lively couple's dance that originated in Spain, which is fitting considering the monster's proclivity for dancing.
