From Dragon Quest Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The morphean mushroom is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest III. It is a grey-stalked funghoul with a lavender cap dotted with light blue spots. It spews intoxicating breath like its funghoul comrades, while also putting enemies to sleep just by attacking them.

Morphean mushrooms began appearing in Version 5.4 of the game, making them much more powerful than previous games due to their late appearance. Naturally, they are capable of using both Sleep Attack and Sweet Breath, as always.

Etymology[edit]

  • The Morphean mushroom's name is derived from Morpheus, the Greek god of slumber.
  • The monster's Japanese name Matango is a reference to the 1963 body-horror film from Toho Studios about a group of castaways on an island who are slowly transformed into mushrooms. It was released in the United States in 1963 under the name Attack of the Mushroom People.
