| Morrie Mozzarella | |
| Dragon Quest VIII | |
 | |
| Japanese name | モリー |
| Romaji | Morī |
| Race | Human |
| Voice actor | Brian Bowles (PS2, English) Jôji Nakata (Japanese) |
"You know what they say: You never know the depths of your own passion until you play with yourself."
Morrie Mozzarella is a mostly comical character, introduced in Dragon Quest VIII. He also acts as "host" for the Monster Battle sub-series.
In Dragon Quest VIII, the heroes first encounter Morrie on the rooftop of his Monster Arena. Sensing something special in the Hero, Morrie sends him to capture three "infamous monsters" to deem the Hero worthy to enter his arena. Once the party has succeeded in making the captures, Morrie allows The Hero to compete in his Monstrous Pit on one condition: he must compete with GUSTO!
Although Morrie was introduced as an NPC in the original PS2 release of the game, he has been upgraded to a playable character for the 3DS version. In combat, he is capable of wielding clubs, boomerangs, and claws, as well as utilizing the abilities of monsters from his infamous pit.
Appearance and Personality
Morrie's outfit consists of an almost jester-like tunic with alternating sections of green and red, as well as very tight leggings. He wears a white scarf and a black belt, gloves and shoes. Morrie speaks with an Italian accent and peppers his dialuge with Italian terms, such as calling the Hero "ragazzo" or Jessica "bimba".
In Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime, Morrie Morrie (as he is called here) is a little, orange slime (in some way similar to a she-slime, although Morrie Morrie is clearly male, with his furry beard and eyebrows still on him) and now uses his white scarf as a white bandau.

In Rocket Slime, Morrie appears as a guest character. Though in the world where the events take place the human race is not present at all, Morrie has become a slime himself.
Trivia
- His appearance is loosely based on Toriyama's own Mr. Satan/Hercule character from the famous Dragon Ball series.
- Morrie's outfit is based on the Italian flag.
- In his clash with the Hero inside the Monster Arena it is revealed that his last name is Mozzarella through the announcer's introductions in the Rank S finals.
- Prior to the release of the 3DS version in Japan, Dragon Quest VIII's producer Noriyoshi Fujimoto stated that if Morrie were classified with a vocation, he would be an evolved mix of a Minstrel and Martial Artist.
- Morrie has the lowest resilience of all characters in VIII. This is due to both his age and beanpole build.
