The stainless scrapper is a mechanical monster that was introduced in Dragon Quest VII.

It is a more powerful version of the automaton enemies faced in the Frobisher region.

Characteristics

Stainless scrappers are rudimentary looking mechs with simple humanoid-shaped bodies consisting of a torso, four limbs, and a head. Their heads are featureless except for a single, focused and fearless, glowing red "eye". The majority of their parts are bright blue, with their joints and torsos being red and rigid, and they have a green steam engine on their back, which presumably powers them through long battles. They have a variety of green cords connected throughout their body. Stainless scrappers carry a large axe in their left hands and a spiked mace in their right, which they use to strike with much more fury and strength than their other robot brethren.

• There is a rare chance of the stainless scrapper dropping an automaton heart, allowing one party member to become one when the heart is taken to Alltrades Abbey. Alternatively, a character can master the serial quiller and golem vocations to become an automaton.
