The Donkey xote is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest VII.
Characteristics[edit]
Super speedy knights that ride out into the field on fake floating horses to stab at foes with stinging lance strikes. Saving up their strength, they take extra time to focus and bolster their damage for a body slam attack, harming themselves in the process with their sheer strength. The foolhardy knights often fall flat on their face as they attempt to deliver their daring attacks, though. When encountered on the field, donkey xotes can charge at full speed to intercept an enemy, but can only move in a single direction. This means one can simply strafe out of the way in order to avoid them easily.

Etymology[edit]
The monster's name is a reference to Don Quixote, a story about a middle-aged man that fancies himself a knight, and quests throughout the land, leading people to believe he is insane.
