The Popster Tank monster family (Japanese: オヤジ戦車系) in Nintendo DS Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer consists of:

  1. Popster Tank (Japanese: オヤジ戦車)
  2. Dadster Tank (Japanese: ガンコ戦車)
  3. Oldster Tank (Japanese: イッテツ戦車)
  4. Cranky Tank (Japanese: ヘンクツ戦車)

Monster Ability

The Popster Tank monster family fires explosives that damage all entities around it except itself. It also destroys Items and walls around the explosion.

  • Level 1: Popster Tanks move at half Speed. They fire explosives that inflict 20 damage.
  • Level 2: Dadster Tanks fire explosives which inflict 30 damage.
  • Level 3: Oldster Tanks move at double speed. They fire explosives that inflict 40 damage.
  • Level 4: Cranky Tanks move at double speed or fire two explosives in one turn, each inflicting 50 damage.

When a Popster Tank family monster trips on a Rusty Trap, instead of the usual effect of zeroing out its defense, its speed is reduced by one level, and its defense is halved.

Effect when Sealed

When Sealed, Popster Tanks can no longer fire explosives and will resort to melee attacks.
