Series lore and name
The skipper is a peculiar creature that uses a large leather boot reinforced with spiked iron plates for both shelter and combat. In certain animations, its body is revealed to be a thin tendril hanging from the bottom of its furry head. It will usually first be encountered in the deepest recesses of the Waterfall Cave, and it's a decently powerful monster for that area.

Using Skipper
Skipper sits in the Material 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.
