Series lore and name

The Rotten Cotton is a white, fluffy three-eyed oddball with antenna protruding from the top of it's puffy head. With fur looking like the cotton plant it's named for, these beats will soon flood the battlefield by calling for backup from their brethren. They're not the brightest bunch though, often just staring into space blankly. Sometimes they will smash full force into foes with their bouncy body, doing massive damage and harming themselves in the flurry.

Using Rotten cotton

Rotten cotton sits in the Beast 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.
