Small fry

Dragon Quest Monster Small fry
Art by Akira Toriyama First Appearance Dragon Quest V Old Localization {{{old}}}

The Small fry, (formerly known as DragonPup and DragonKid) is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. One of the smallest members of the Dragon family, it is typically the first one encountered in the titles in which it appears, and assuredly is the least dangerous.

Characteristics

The Small fry, as implied by its name, is a baby dragon. It usually knows breathing attacks, but none powerful enough to actually be a threat to the party unless players are severely under-leveled. Due to its coloration, head shape, and horn style, some fans believe them to be the nymph stage or per-adolescent form of Great Dragons.

NOTE: The Small fry is actually the third variant in its line, with the Frizzard being the original monster to sport the design. However, the Small fry has been featured much more prominently in spin-offs, media, merchandise, and so on, to the point that it has been given priority over its predecessors.

Tiny baby blue dragons that are more terrifying than they first seem, flinging out firey breath on all foes and spitting out a chilly cool breath to engulf enemies. Even with their tiny little wings they can still fly well enough to launch themselves face first at foes when attacking.
