The Kisser is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation.
They are a dark green variant of the more common Lips, with spotted backs, salmon underbellies, and pink lips hiding blue tongues.
Characteristics[edit]
Kissers are upright slugs that live in claustrophobic caves and catch their prey by slowly slobbering them with their sickening tongues and kissing them with killer lips. In battle, they spend half their time spewing Sweet Breath to send all foes to fall asleep. Starting with XI, the kissers also gained the ability to send out kisses to stun any unfortunate traveler they face and some protective magic to ward themselves and their allies against harmful spells.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit]
A trio of Kissers are fought alongside Wyatt in the fourth battle at Allblades Arena. They should be taken out first to prevent them from putting the party to sleep with their Sweet Breath. Boomerangs, Whips, and Ruff's wolf abilities will make quick work of them before focusing on Wyatt himself.

Trivia[edit]
- Kisser's original Japanese name, Buchuchunpa, is based on the word chu (ちゅっ), which is the Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound of a kiss.
