For the lore page, see Shiren:Parthenos Family.

The Parthenos (Japanese: パルテノス系) Monster Family in  Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer consists of:

1. Parthenos (Japanese: パルテノス, Parutenosu)
2. Mistonos (Japanese: ミストノス, Misutonosu)
3. Verginos (Japanese: ヴェルギノス, Vueruginosu)
4. Goldinos (Japanese: ゴルディノス, Gorudinosu)

Parthenos Family Monsters are large anthropomorphic rock beings with two small jewel-like eyes. The color of the monster's rocky flesh and eyes depends on its level:

• 1 - pearl grey, red
• 2 - violet, purple
• 3 - orange, brown
• 4 - beige, yellow

When attacking, the monster steps forwards and presses the palms of its hands, one after another into its target. When performing its special ability, it does the same, though generating a static electrical charge which binds the target to itself for that turn.

Monster Ability

When on an adjacent square, and attempting to move, a Parthenos Family Monster will Immobilized Shiren, keeping them in the same spot, effectively consuming the player's move for that turn.

Effect when Sealed

Parthenos Family Monsters can no longer immobilize Shiren when next to them.

Combat Strategy

Though Parthenos monsters have a decent attack and defense to be a physical threat, their immobilizing ability can be seen as a greater problem, particularly in Monster Houses, immobilizing Shiren from trying to run away. If Shiren is immobilized by a Parthenos, there are many ways of escaping this aside from defeating the monster.

Item Strategies

• Inflict 'Confusion' on the monster.
• Use a Staff of Paralysis on the monster. A Staff of Postpone will warp them to the stairs and they will need to be confronted again.
• Use Knockback Staff to displace the monster away from Shiren.

Monster Meat Strategies

• Transform them into a different monster by successfully throwing Monster Meat.
• Throw them out of the floor as a Tiger Uho Family or ramming them away as a Dremlas Family Monster.
• Hiding inside a Jar for a few turns, by using a Jar of Hiding or as an N'Duba Family.

Trap Strategies

• Inflict the 'Sealed' status on them by swinging or throwing a Sealing Staff, or by successfully throwing a Curse Trap or a Unequip Trap at the monster.
• Inflict 'confusion' on the monster by throwing a Spinning Trap at the monster.
• Inflict 'Riceball' status on the monster by throwing a Riceball Trap.

There are many other Traps that can be thrown at a Parthenos Family Monster that will instantly defeat them, and therefore free Shiren from being immobilized.

Meat Strategy

Shiren does not gain any special abilities as a Parthenos Family Monster.

Though not an optimal strategy as Parthenos monsters can be somewhat of a physical threat, Parthenos Family Meat can be thrown to transform and therefore neutralize the abilities of more powerful monsters.

There are some benefits to consuming any monster meat in general:

• Eating any Monster Meat will increase fullness by 10 points.
• As a monster, items in Shiren's inventory cannot be accessed and therefore items cannot be: equipped, unequipped, put down, thrown, eaten, dropped, Projectiles, inserted or removed from Jars and jars also cannot be pressed.
• However, Items and Gitan can still be stolen by Thief-type monsters, items can still be Fusion, become Cursed, be turned into Big Riceball, become Miscellaneous Items, be changed into Weeds or be knocked away.
• As a monster, items in Shiren's inventory cannot be accessed and therefore items cannot be: equipped, unequipped, put down, thrown, eaten, dropped, fired, inserted or removed from jars and jars also cannot be pressed.
• When transforming into a monster, the following status effects will be removed from Shiren: Hands Full, No Natural Recovery, Hit Point Drain, Clear-Sighted, Enhanced, Invincible, Slowed, Immobilized, Puzzled, Sealed, Confused, Double Speed, Invisible, Auto Identify, Wide awake, Silent Movement, Poison-free, and Ever-full.
