Series lore and name
Lantern soldiers are a mechanical type of monster. They are little and are covered in a black and white armor. In their head there is the core of the machine and it is protected with a white helm with a golden ventilation grill where it should be supposed to have a face. These monsters wear a cone-shaped hat (probably made of bamboo), also black and white, that resembles to the one that rice farmers in Japan wore in the past. At their back they have equipped a bamboo pennant, which is taller than them, that is decorated with a red and white pattern. Lantern soldiers also wield a green bamboo spear with details such as red bamboo leaves.

Using Lantern soldier
Lantern soldier sits in the Machine 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.
