Shiren 1 DS:Scroll of Removal
Template:Infobox Item (Shiren 1 DS)
The Scroll of Removal (Japanese: ジェノサイドの巻物) is a Scrolls introduced to the Super Famicom release of Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer DS.
Throwing a Scroll of Removal at a Monster will seal away that entire monster family from appearing during the current adventure (until Shiren returns to Canyon Hamlet).
Sealed away monsters will no longer spawn where would previously and will not appear when summoned by Schubell Family Monsters and Skull Wizards can no longer transform entities into that monster when it was previously possible.
Only one monster family can be removed at a time. Throwing a second Scroll of Removal at a different monster will remove that family, but the previous type will return.
Adventure Log Entries
Adventure Log entry #24 requires the player to 'Read the Scroll of Removal'.
Limitations of Use
As they are not monsters, NPCs cannot be sealed away by a Scroll of Removal (the item still disappears as it is used). However, party members that have joined Shiren can be sealed away.
Special Enemies such as Shopkeepers, Sheriffs and Guard Dogs can be sealed away, though it will only be for the current floor, and they will return on another floor.
Removed monster families can still appear by consuming or throwing Monster Meat.
Tips for use
- Read the first Scroll of Removal you find to:
- Be able to write 'Removal' on Blank Scrolls, which are more common.
- Earn the Adventure Log #24.
Popular monsters for sealing away
- Dragon Family - Homing long range fixed damage attacks.
- Skull Mage Family - Due to their long range and detrimental magic abilities.
- Gaze Family - To protect valuable items against random actions during Hypnosis
- Popster Tank Family - High fixed damage and Speed at high levels.
Caution
Thrown Scrolls of Removal can miss the target monster. Think ahead and do not rely on them to save you as a last resort. Creating a Scroll of Need from a Blank Scroll can be more helpful as it will fully heal Shiren, and Paralyze all adjacent monsters.

Trivia
- Monsters hit by a Scroll of Removal are 'sealed away', not to be confused with the 'Sealed' status.
- Party Members that have previously joined Shiren, but have not been recruited for that adventure (are walking around on their own in dungeons) cannot be sealed away, but, once Shiren recruits them so they follow the player, they can be.
- The Fortuneteller in Bamboo Village consistently reminds the player not to read Scrolls of Removal, but to read them, as well as hinting at the use of reading the scroll one time to see what happens.
