Gastropog

From Dragon Quest Wiki

The Gastropog is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest IX. It is a bizarre hybrid between a snail and a frog.

Characteristics[edit]

Gastropogs are an unusual cross between frogs and snails, having the green spotted skin of an amphibian, but with a large, spiked spiral shell on its back and eyes on tall stalks like a gastropod. They have long tongues poking out of their mouths, which they use to stun their enemies into inaction. It attacks by rolling itself into a ball and tackling opponents with the spikes on their shells. The monsters can also expel a sickening mucus that can slow foes down.

In-game description They slap their sickeningly long tongues across enemies' faces, and eject 'orrible ooze to slow their foes.

The size of their shells dictates their status, and the competition for cool carapaces is fairly fierce.
