Choosing your Dragon Quest Monsters partner is tricky, especially if you’re the type not to bench them like me. In this guide, I’ll list down all of the starter monsters you can get in The Dark Prince, how to get them, and what they do best.
Dragon Quest Monsters The Dark Prince Starters Guide
There are four starter monsters in The Dark Prince: Fright Bulb, Mud Mannequin, Cruelcumber, and Platypunk. The one that you get is determined by a series of questions Monty asks of you.All monsters are scoutableor synthesizable in the future, so you don’t have to worry about missing out on any of them.
Fright Bulb
Fright Bulb is a healer/spellcaster monster with an overall balanced build. It’s cute though, which was why it was my initial choice…

Mud Mannequin
Mud Mannequin is a buffer/debuffer type. These types of monsters are heavily recommended early game due to how OP defense buffs and debuffs are in the arena. It’s also a key ingredient for manyspecial synthesis monsters, including Mudraker.

Cruelcumber
Need a pure spellcaster from the get-go? Cruelcumber is what you want. Eventually, Cruelcumber can grow to be an ultra-fast spellcaster—or at least share amazing Magic/SPD talents with its children when used for a synthesis.

Platypunk doubles as a physical attack and debuffer. I personally like it with Sandstorm (skill) in early arena, which decreases the enemy’s accuracy for a LOT of turns.

Best Starter Monster in The Dark Prince
Your starter monster doesn’t matter in terms of stats. There are better monsters out in the field, and you’ll probably be synthesizing your favorite ones in a couple of hours. In fact, all four of these monsters can be synthesized or scouted eventually.
However, if you’re looking to complete your Monsterpedia faster,PlatypunkandMud Mannequinare impossible to synthesize early on, so you can grab one of those.
