Known as Monster Master in Previous Games

Although the Monster Wrangler is a new job class for Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, its concept is not new to the Dragon Quest franchise.

In previous games such as Dragon Quest VI and Dragon Quest X, the vocation has been called Monster Master and their abilities originate from monsters they've captured.

It can be speculated that both the Monster Wrangler and Monster Master might share the same skillset, and require monsters to enhance their efficiency in battle.
