Series lore and name

It could be said that the body of a carnivine is arranged in three layers, the bottom composed of its leg-like roots, the middle being made of a circle of large, green leaves, and the top holding its three white, fanged flowers, connected to the leafy section by flexible stems.

Transcribed from the Dragon Quest Wiki's record for Carnivine (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 Carnivine

Carnivine 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.

About this page. Every field above is transcribed from the Dragon Quest Wiki and rebuilt whenever the source changes, so corrections propagate. DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: The Withered World ships on 3 December 2026 and has published no per-monster ranks, stats or synthesis recipes; where a value does not exist yet it is left out rather than estimated. The # number is this index's own alphabetical sequence, not an in-game dex number.
