Series lore and name
A Cactiball's name is an adequate description itself; the only other notable aspects of the monsters' appearance are limbs, small compared to the rest of its body, a devious face and a flower at the top of their head/body.
Transcribed from the Dragon Quest Wiki's record for Cactiball (CC BY-SA). DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: The Withered World does not publish per-monster data before release, so nothing on this page is guessed.
Using Cactiball
Cactiball sits in the Plant family.
In DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: The Withered World you do not fight beside your monsters — you build the party and command it. Up to four monsters are active with four more in reserve, and synthesis is the main way to raise a keeper: combine two monsters from level 10 and the child inherits the parents' talents, with a Plus Value that can lift it past their rank.
