The Mamel (Japanese: マムル, Mamul) Monster Family is the mascot monster family of Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer series. It made its debut in Mystery Dungeon 2: Shiren the Wanderer in 1995, making it one of the Original Monster Families. Its most recent appearance was in / Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island in 2024.

The Mamel Family consists of:

Mamel (Japanese: マムル, Mamul)
Pit Mamel (Japanese: あなぐらマムル, Anagura Mamuru)
Cave Mamel (Japanese: 洞窟マムル, Dōkutsu Mamuru)
Gitan Mamel (Japanese: ギタンマムル, Gitan Mamuru)

Related additional families include the Dark Mamel monster family that first appeared in 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 since 2017, under the name Monokumamel. Numerous other Mamels have appeared as well, such as the Silver Mamel Family and the Borg Mamel.

Biography

Characteristics

Mamels will attack the player if they are close enough to hop toward them. Gitan Mamels have more chances to hit the player due to their faster movement and attacks, as well as K.O. the player earlier thanks to their high amount of attack and defense points. While Mamels behave like any monsters in the series, on rare occasions they will appear as friendly, non-playable characters. For example, three Antipode Mamels appear in The Other Side of the World, where in this place, monsters and people live side by side peacefully.

Physical Appearance

These monsters have a smooth spherical body, and a white widening tail, belly, and cat ears. With a slightly agape mouth showing a pink or blue tongue and wide eyes, the color of the monster's back depends on its level; going from blue in its weakest to yellow in its strongest form. The Mamel is likely the first, and the weakest monster players run into on their Shiren adventures, akin to other weak, common monsters such as the Slime in the Dragon Quest series. Their behavior are also similar to a cat, whether it is friendly or a foe, as they mimic and act like one throughout the series.
