The Ham shamwitch is a monster in the Dragon Quest series and it was introduced in Dragon Quest X.

Characteristics

Ham shamwitches are piglets with aqua blue fur and little red tusks. Although they are often covered by their hat and are hard to see, they have black eyes. Ham shamwitches wear a huge yellow sorcerer's hat with fuchsia and green triangle patterns. Interestingly, these pigs are the only members of their pallet swap group to not learn any spells in mainline titles; they rely on powerful fire breath skills instead.
