The '''Purrestidigitator''' is a recurring monster in the series, first introduced in {{Dragon Quest VII}}. It is an anthropomorphic green cat wearing a blue wizard's robe. Its name is a play on a cat's purr and "prestidigitator", a magician skilled in sleight-of-hand.


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
The '''Purrestidigitator''' takes pride in its abilities to cast majorly powerful and protective magic, [[Beast family|purring]] loudly in a satisfied sort of way as it slings spells with their aid of an odd and ancient staff. They can Dazzle an entire party, making them miss attacks with manic magic in their eyes, along with flinging '''Fuddle''' at foes to cause further chaos.  They scorch their way through a whole party with a single '''Sizzle''' spell, dealing furious fiery magic damage.
Purrestidigitators are [[Beast family|feline]] wizards with green coats of fur, wearing blue robes that reach down to their feet along with a long necklace with a bronze cat's bell around their necks, as well as carrying gnarled wooden staffs which aid in spellcasting. Their repertoire of spell includes being able to envelop their opponents in illusions or sending them into chaos, along with setting them ablaze with fire magic. In later games, the felines have also gained the ability to cast darkness spells, as well.
