The N'Duba (Japanese: ンドゥバ) Monster Family is a recurring group of four monsters in the Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer series. It made its debut in Super Famicom Mystery Dungeon 2: Shiren the Wanderer in 1995, making it one of the Original Monster Families. Its most recent appearance was in Nintendo Switch/Steam Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island in 2024.

The N'Duba Family consists of:

  1. N'Duba (Japanese: ンドゥバ)
  2. N'Dulu (Japanese: ンドゥルー)
  3. N'Bama (Japanese: ンバマ)
  4. N'Balun (Japanese: ンバルーン)

Related additional families include the Dark N'dubba monster family that first appeared in Nintendo DS Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer 4 - The Eye of God and the Devil's Navel in 2010, and two cameo appearances in the Danganronpa series, the first in 2017, under the name Mon'Duba.

Biography

Characteristics

The N'Duba family is one of several different decoy monster families. They disguise themselves as Items, in some games as Shop items, and reveal themselves when the player attempts to use the item.

The N'Duba family features different leveling properties in Shiren 2 and Asuka the Swordswoman.

Normal
  • N'Duba > N'Dulu > N'Bama > N'Balun
Shiren 2

They gain "years" with each level, and have different forms at set levels, much like the Chimera, and Evil Tree in Wii Shiren 3 Wii/PlayStation Portable Shiren 3 PSP(UT) - This is an unofficial translation., and the Kigny Family, and Inferno Family in various titles. The Japanese name for years 1 - 19 is the same as N'Duba. The names listed are taken from the Shiren 2 English Unofficial Translation.
