The '''Prestidigitator''' (formerly known as '''Magician''') is a monster introduced in the original ''[[Dragon Quest (game)|Dragon Quest]]''. It is a [[Humanoid family|humanoid monster]] capable of casting spells, likely being the first enemy that the [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|Hero]] encounters that can do so. Although they appeared in the series debut, these cloaked mages have yet to reappear in any of the main series, as their role as basic spellcasters has been taken over by other monsters.
 
==Characteristics==
Prestidigitators are cloaked figures whose bodies are completely obscured. They wear long grey robes that cover their entire body, showing only their hands and their eyes from underneath their cloaks. Some of them are seen carrying wands.
