The '''Bodkin bowyer''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''. These yellow-hooded variants of the [[Bodkin archer]] can rain a flurry of arrows on foes and inflict various [[status effect]]s.
==Characteristics==
Bodkin bowyers are small [[Humanoid family|goblin]]-like creatures with purple skin that don green robes and yellow hoods instead of the normal brown. Their golden-colored hoods indicate that they are among the strongest of the bodkins, only being surpassed later by the [[bodkin bloodbow]].


==Characteristics==
They carry brown shortbows and their arrows have yellow fletchings. Their arrows are laced with various toxins that can either put unfortunate adventurers to [[Sleep (status)|sleep]], or inflict [[paralysis]], depending on the title, and they also deliver a '''[[Rain of Pain]]''', as well. As a last resort, the bowyers will call for help from more of their kind to assist them.
