Revision as of 14:54, 25 January 2025

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

Characteristics

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.

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.
