Morrie: Difference between revisions

{{Translation|'''Morrie Mozzarella'''|モリー, Morī}} is a mostly comical character, introduced in {{DQ8}}. He also acts as the "host" for the ''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle (series)|Monster Battle]]'' sub-series.

 

Although Morrie was introduced as an NPC in the original [[Sony PlayStation#PlayStation 2|PS2]] release of the ''DQ VIII'', he has been upgraded to a playable character for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version. In combat, he is capable of wielding clubs, boomerangs, and claws, as well as utilizing the abilities of monsters from his infamous pit and his own passion-driven powers.

In ''[[Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime]],'' '''Morrie Morrie''' (as he is called here) is a little, orange slime (in some way similar to a [[She-slime|she-slime]], although Morrie Morrie is clearly male, with his furry beard and eyebrows still on him) and now uses his white scarf as a white bandau.

==Story==

[[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|The Hero]] and company first encounter Morrie on the rooftop of his [[Monster Arena]]. Sensing something special in [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|The Hero]], Morrie sends him to capture three "infamous monsters" to deem the Hero worthy to enter his arena. Once the party has succeeded in making the captures, Morrie allows The Hero to compete in his Monstrous Pit on one condition: he must compete with '''GUSTO!'''

Following on from Morrie's defeat, he joins the Hero to help him with his dream in return for fulling his dream which was finding someone superior to him as a monster trainer.

 

His role in the story is minimal due to him being an optional party member, though during the party's arrest he helps Red, along with [[Trode]] and [[Princess Medea|Medea]] in finding them on [[Purgatory Island]].

==Stats==

Morrie also joins the party with 115 skill points that can be freely allocated.

*Morrie has the lowest [[List of character statistics#Resilience|resilience]] of all characters in ''VIII''. This is due to both his age and beanpole build. He also has the highest [[List of character statistics#Agility|agility]] of the male party members.

*Incidentally, while he has no role in any of the cutscenes if he's present in [[Pirate's Cove]], putting Morrie in the party in place of [[Yangus]] will result in several scenes playing out differently.

*According to the [[Dragon Quest Illustrations]] artbook, Morrie's design was originally going to be used for the character [[Dominico]], but it was later decided that his design was considered too extravagant for such a minor NPC. Later on, Morrie's character was conceived and utilized the design.
