The Material family or Inorganic family (Japanese Kanji: 物質 Hiragana: ぶっしつ Romanji: Bushitsu) refers to Monsters in Dragon Quest series that are formed from materials such as stone, iron, or cloth. In some games, this family also includes members of the Elemental family and the Machine family.

In addition to the more Western-influenced designs such as golems and treasure chest mimics, many material monsters are based on the Tsukumogami; inanimate object yōkai that acquire sentience after "living" for 99 years. As any household object can become a Tsukumogami, so to can plain possessions become material monsters.
