A monster heart is an item in all versions of Dragon Quest VII and Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart.
Details[edit]
A monster heart is the crystallization of a monster's essence. It holds the characteristics of a monster. When a person takes this heart to the Alltrades Abbey, or an abbot or abbess from such a temple, the person can assume that monster's 'class' to acquire the qualities of said monster, eventually transforming into it outright.
In Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart, two monster hearts are applied to a single monster when it goes through reform.

The slaughtomaton will not drop a heart because it is only fought once in the game. The boss Golem in The Tower will not drop a golem heart because it is only fought once. However, there are collum o' golem that may drop a golem heart.
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined[edit]
Monster vocations have been removed in the second remake and as such monster hearts have been repurposed into a kind of accessory to be equipped to a character. The hearts grant passive abilities such as the common slime increasing a character's evasion.
Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart[edit]
Monster hearts may drop from any non-boss monster (and a few boss monsters, such as the gargoyle) shortly after acquiring the heart stealing device.
- A golem heart can be found in Alefgard once the continent has been raised from the ocean, in the incredibly sparse ruins where Mercado once stood, referencing the monster's role in the original Dragon Quest.
