The game is a side story to {{Dragon Quest V}}, in which Bianca and Nera are searching for the fabled [[Leaves of Life]], powerful medicine that can supposedly cure their grievously ill fathers. One night the girls are visited at their bedsides by the mysterious [[Fluffy]], who spirited away the duo to the kingdom of [[Witherwood_(kingdom)|Witherwood]] where the miraculous leaves are said to grow. Unfortunately the kingdom has been ravaged by a wretched force and the leaves are all but destroyed. Eager to restore the kingdom's vitality and obtain the leaves, the girls are blessed by the simian sprite and become fully fledged [[Monster Wrangler]]s to set forth on adventure. Debora has also traveled to the distant kingdom separately, being taken by [[Fizzy]].

Owing to the game being based on the series' original monster raising adventure, many of the monsters from ''Dragon Quest V'' have been included in the bestiary in much the same way monsters from ''Dragon Quest IV'' were included in {{DQM3}}. This also marks the first time that several monsters have appeared outside of their debut game, such as the [[funky ferret]] and [[hippoblockomus]]. Combined with returning fan favorites and brand new monsters such as the [[bamboo badboy]]s, [[platypup]]s, and [[slime balls]], there are a total of over 500 monsters waiting to join the girls.

*The [[personality]] system has returned, influencing the upper limits and growth rates of a monster's attributes. This marks its reappearance in the spin-off series after a 25 year absence since {{DQM2}} in 2001.

*The "[[Plus Value]]" of past games has returned, increasing the base attributes of a synthesized monster. The Plus Value is passed on to the child monster by it's parents and is increased by a certain value based on how many plus points the parent generation had in total; if the Plus Value is high enough then the synthesized monster will be of a higher rank than either parent.

*A challenge mode called [[The Wrangler's Gauntlet]] has been added, where players face off against a series of opponents under a strict turn limit with  pre-assembled teams instead of their own in order to win prizes.
*Players can now purchase [[monster eggs]] from Fizzy in her [[Gauntlet Goods]] shop, based on family and rank, which range from common eggs to rare golden ones.
