The reason I brought this up in the first place was because you mentioned that enemies never appeard randomly in stages, which they do. Your argument just sounds more like what you wish to see vs. what we're likely to see if they ever decided to make enemies randomly appear on a stage.
That's not what I said. I said it didn't make sense for Dragon Quest monsters to appear on stages because of what the series is known for. You mistook the point entirely. You can't really expect Castlevania to be an example when monsters appear on all the stages all the time anyway as a normal part of the game. They used some more well known ones, sure, but that's still a theme of the game. As I said before, I know nothing of Bayonetta. So the example doesn't much work if you can't explain it well enough.
Your RNG argument doesn't make much sense to me since Final Fantasy, or more specifically FF7, also uses an RNG set-up which is never referenced in Smash. It's like saying that a turn-based menu needs to be incorporated into Cloud's moveset because that's a core part of FF history. It's not necessary to incorporate it at all.
This... is not like that point at all. Final Fantasy isn't the one who completely made RPG's what they are. Dragon Quest is. That was the point of it. Also, Cloud's Limit is specifically just that, an RPG mechanic he has. You also cannot incorporate turn-based into Smash. Some stuff is realistic. Having it so only the bosses appear while the regular monsters are taunts/spirits/AT's/victory screens is very reasonable and fits the thematic of the DQ series fine as well.
Castlevania isn't about random encounters, and yet those same monsters appear randomly as harmless Cameos who end up doing their own thing in Smash bros.
Why, that might be because those monsters appear all the time in the stages you go through. As normal. Them appearing as cameos is... entirely accurate. It's not an RPG. It's an action adventure game. The stage is pretty much more or less what happens. Besides that, it wasn't just about RNG just because. Either I never said it to you, or you entirely misread the point behind why Bosses make more sense to appear on a DQ stage while being faithful to the original series.
Dragon Quest isn't just an rpg. It's the rpg that influenced many rpg's to come. The random encounters is a thing it created. I think that should be important to a degree. This is why I feel the stage itself should use the bosses instead, who all normally appear within Dungeons onscreen, while saving the monsters for some kind of summon mechanic. Now I could see it work kind of akin to Midgar, but otherwise, they make a ton of sense as AT's and Spirits(and Taunts) while being highly faithful to the game itself. The Castlevania cameos are highly faithful to begin with. They also have some Sonic characters move around Green Hill Zone, which is highly faithful to what actually happens during the game. Even if it has kind of an odd one in Silver, anyway.

Anyway, rates of who you want in;
1. Slime. Not even a contest. Easily represents tons of Dragon Quest stuff alone. A lot of other stuff is easy to show off in the Stage(which'll have many notable bosses), Spirits(for every Hero, at least), Taunts(especially Erdrick should show up that way. Or at least the Victory Screens. Might as well have the two icons share the screen at times), AT's(mostly for Monsters. Though some enemies could work in Slime's moveset, as noted some time back)
2. Geno. I loved Super Mario RPG. He sounds really fun. I didn't use him nearly as much as Bowser, so he's not nearly as important to me.
4. Sephiroth. Him and Aerith are my two favorites FFVII characters. Easy pick. A major disjoint could make for a wildly interesting character.
4. Crono. I only own Chrono Cross, but I appreciate the character for what he is.
5. Erdrick. I mean, I appreciate Dragon Quest for what it is, but I appreciate it way more for the impact in gaming than just a hero that shows up in a later game. Great guy, but he doesn't interest me that much.
6. Katalina. Only cause I know more about Granblue Fantasy than later Dragon Quest games.
7. Luminary. I can't care about a character I know next to nothing of.
Took me a bit to remember them all, but that's my list. Just because I think Granblue Fantasy would be neat to be more worldwide doesn't mean I can care about the character I know almost nothing about either. You know?
