Series lore and name
The scarfish are scary scarred sea stars with a mean mouth and monstrous staring evil eyes. They stand up-right on ships by sticking to the floor with their two bottom legs, waving their other three fearsome arms menacingly. Despite their fishy appearance, they love firing off Frizz spells at wandering sailors, along with using their bodies as weapons like a boomerang. In battle, they flop face first on to their foes, tiny sharp teeth at the ready to snap and sink in. Even more worrisome is that they use their five feet to do a weird dance so shocking that it drains the very magic force out of adventurers, as well as a sultry dance to make enemies of the Demon King dance to their own tune.

Using Scarfish
Scarfish sits in the Aquatic 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.
