Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit]

In the Dragon Quest III remakes, contrarian is a personality that improves agility, wisdom, and luck growth, but reduces strength and resilience growth.

The hero cannot become a contrarian at the start of the game.

Other party members have a chance to be a contrarian when talent scouted at Patty's Party Planning Place, except for mages or priests, depending on their stat bonuses.
