The prancing pillar is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest VII. It can found in El Monumento de Pomposo as a forced battle and regularly in the World's Tallest Tower.

Characteristics[edit]

Massively monstrous powerful pillars that ambush adventurers, waving their flaming fiery sconces that they swing to sear opponents with. They also fling fire at foes with Frizz and their wild weird dances deftly drain the magic straight out of stunned onlookers, leaving parties of adventurers more vulnerable. Their bodies are surprisingly flexible, able to contort in a snakelike fashion and use their malleable bodies to hammer foes.
