Dragon Quest III remakes[edit]

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

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

Other party members have a chance to be a meathead when recruited as any class, depending on their stat bonuses.
