Big Monster

Big Monsters (ビッグモンスター) are a core element in the Dokapon series. It is a stronger variant of Town Bosses.
==Overview==
Big Monsters will spawn in a random town in the continent that the Story Mode progress is current in, or depending on the player's level in Normal Mode, restricting to continents with enemy strength around the players' highest level.
In games with a Story Mode, the player must defeat the Big Monster for a number of times before moving on to the chapter's next objective, during which the Big Monster will stop appearing.
Big Monsters also occasionally obstruct the players in various ways, such as stealing gold from towns or players (which will be added to the monster's drop after they're defeated), attacking players with field magic, creating Roadblock Rocks to try to trap the player, or recover the health of monsters.
It's not possible to defeat Big Monsters with field magic spells in most games; they will leave them at 1 HP. A player must engage in the Big Monster to deal the finishing blow.
==Appearances==
===Kessen and 3-2-1===
The Big Monsters' field magic spells can affect every player and have 100% accuracy regardless of the Big Monster's SP, but can be blocked by a Magic Mirror. In addition, in Kessen, Big Monsters may cast a darkness spell, which limits visibility and prevents the usage of items, field magic and the view function.
In 3-2-1, Big Monsters can be defeated with field magic spells. This will leave the town without an owner and progress the story normally in Story Mode.
===Dokapon! Sword of Fury===
In Dokapon! Sword of Fury, Wallace plays the role of Big Monsters (besides the first part of Chapter 6, where 5 clones of him will appear in different towns), in addition to being the chapter boss in some chapters. In the remaster, it's possible to decide how many times Wallace needs to be defeated in most chapters, as well as how often he'll attack.
===Dokapon DX===
In Dokapon DX, Big Monsters spawn on set normal spaces on a map, and they don't obstruct the players. When defeated, the space where they're on will become a treasure site which allows players to dig up treasures. The player who defeats the Big Monster is the owner of the site, and other players need to pay money if they want to dig here.
In Story Mode, during the first five chapters, after defeating Big Monsters and digging up Dokapon Eggs a few times, Wallace will appear in the chapter dungeon and start attacking the player. Outside of Story Mode, if enough Big Monsters are defeated, it's also possible for a Big Monster to spawn on a treasure site, therefore allowing another player to claim it after the Big Monster's defeat.
===Dokapon Kingdom===
Like in previous games, players need to defeat the Big Monsters a few times before progressing the story in each chapter. Unlike in 3-2-1, Big Monster's attacks only target one adventurer and can miss.
===Dokapon Journey===
Similar to Kessen, Big Monsters will attempt to attack every player when using field magic. It can also summon monsters to every player-owned town.
===Dokapon UP! Mugen no Roulette===
Big Monsters appear in the Multiplayer Mode.
