Battering ram (Recurring)

Dragon Quest monster Battering ram

Art by Akira Toriyama Japanese ビッグホーン Romaji Bigguhōn First appearance Dragon Quest III Old localization Bighorn

The battering ram is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest III. It is a mountain goat with shaggy green fur and an annoying habit of using Sweet Breath on adventurers.

According to IX's bestiary, they obtain this skill by eating funghouls: this is a rare care of monster predation, and is based on real life goats eating mushrooms in addition to plants.

Their hairy hides are hard to harm with ice. They send enemies to sleep with Sweet Breath, build tension, and then batter them.

They feast on funghouls so they can send insomniacs on their way to slumberland with Sweet Breath.
