Dragon Warrior Monsters, known as Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland (ドラゴンクエストモンスターズ テリーのワンダーランド, Doragon Kuesuto Monsutāzu: Terī no Wandārando?) in Japan, is the first video game in the Dragon Quest Monsters series. It was released in Japan by Enix on September 25, 1998, and co-published by Eidos Interactive in Europe in 1999 and in North America in 2000. It was the first Dragon Quest game to be released in Europe. It was released for the Game Boy Color before the console itself was released; however, the cartridge is backward compatible with the older Game Boy console in black-and-white color. The game was remade for the PlayStation as Dragon Quest Monsters 1+2. A mobile phone incarnation titled Dragon Quest Monsters i was released in Japan on January 28, 2002.
The game features the characters Terry and Milly from Dragon Quest VI when they were children, before the events in Dragon Quest VI. Dragon Warrior Monsters is often compared to the Pokémon series due to their similar gameplay. Critics set the games apart by noting the in-depth breeding system seen in this game.
Square Enix announced at the Tokyo Game Show in 2011 a re-release of the game for the Nintendo 3DS.

Famous quotes containing the words dragon, warrior and/or monsters:
“The Powers whose name and shape no living creature knows
Have pulled the Immortal Rose;
And though the Seven Lights bowed in their dance and wept,
The Polar Dragon slept,
His heavy rings uncoiled from glimmering deep to deep....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“By many a legendary tale of violence and wrong, as well as by events which have passed before their eyes, these people have been taught to look upon white men with abhorrence.... I can sympathize with the spirit which prompts the Typee warrior to guard all the passes to his valley with the point of his levelled spear, and, standing upon the beach, with his back turned upon his green home, to hold at bay the intruding European.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“his address
to the grey monsters of the world,”
—Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)
