Hard to Scout Monster

Dragon Quest Monsters The Dark Prince - Strong Enemies

Strong Enemies are hard-to-scout monsters that are much more powerful than regular monsters. They will often be extremely overlevelled when you first meet them, making them all the more difficult to defeat in batle.

Scoutable in the Full Game

The first Strong Enemy you can face is the Cyclops. While you cannot scout it in the demo, it is fully up for grabs in the full release of the game.

How to Increase Chances of Scouting After Defeating Monsters

All Strong Enemies are L-Sized

Dragon Quest Monsters The Dark Prince - Strong Enemies are L-Sized,

All Strong Enemies will appear L-Sized. It will have a few differences from the typical variant, making it a good consideration for a powerful ally.

Reappears Even After Defeating

Unlike other boss-type enemies that you can only battle once, strong enemies will respawn even after you defeat it. This allows you to use the strong enemy as a way to level up your monsters, to farm their drops, or even retry scouting them a second or third time.
