Cactiball

A cactiball is a monster who appears in the Dragon Quest series.

Come a little closer, so I can prick you. 3DS: Es time for a fiesta! Hey, amigo! How you doin'? ¡Hola! I don't mean to be spikey, you know!

How to breed:
Any Plant family monster X Any Bug family monster

Cactiballs (then CactiBall, with the 'b' in uppercase) appear in the first Monsters game as basic monsters: one can easily be bred by using a plant pedigree and bug mate. They can also be found behind the Gate of Labyrinth and the Gate of Demolition.
