==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Hocus Chimaeras look just like their normal kin, but are composed of warmer colors such as reds and oranges.
Fiery [[Bird family|feathered]], floating, flappy beasts with perpetually fluttering wings that keep them afloat and allow the '''Hocus chimaera''' to breathe a fearsome fire on all adventurers in a single swoop. They bolster their fire-belching ability with knowledge of different spells depending on the game, including healing allies and debilitating their foes.


While naturally talented at using magic, Hocus Chimaeras' spells are rarely something to fear as they tend to use the most basic form of a spell. Their magic-slinging is most bothersome when they opt to use encumbering spells such as Dazzle instead of attack magic.

Latest revision as of 16:49, 9 June 2023

The Hocus chimaera is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, introduced in the original Dragon Quest. They look just like their normal kin, but are composed of warmer colors such as browns and oranges. True to their name, they have learned a wingfull of spells.

Characteristics[edit]

Fiery feathered, floating, flappy beasts with perpetually fluttering wings that keep them afloat and allow the Hocus chimaera to breathe a fearsome fire on all adventurers in a single swoop. They bolster their fire-belching ability with knowledge of different spells depending on the game, including healing allies and debilitating their foes.

Description Blazing-breathed mountain birds of the chimaera family who are tough against fire, and may lay some good eggstras when licked.

Their sepia tone puts people in a misty-eyed mind of yesteryear, but they themselves are young, dump, and full of fun.
