The Lunatick is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first introduced in the original Dragon Quest.

Characteristics

Like some horrifying nightmare from the depths, the Lunatick is hardly anything more than an eye, a pair of antennae, and a bunch of tentacles attached to a purple carapace. The monster's singular eye is constantly turned to face the player. They float about in midair with their tentacles as though they are swimming.
