The Conkuisitor is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest VII. It is a little yellow faerie imitating a human priest, and is the monster on the left side of Conkuistador in the Conklave.
Characteristics
These tiny clerics with pale yellow skin are doing their best imitation of a human priest, complete with a silver religious symbol in their left hand, vestments made out of green leaves, an acorn miter on top of their head which covers their eyes, and a pendant of a slime worn around their neck. Like the blue-skinned epipanies, conkuisitors try their hand at casting the mighty Omniheal spell, but always fall short due to their insufficient MP. In remake versions of the game, the shape of the cross that the conkuisitor carries was changed to the trident-shaped crosses seen in modern games.

Etymology
Conkuisitor is a combination of conker, British slang for horse chestnuts, and inquisitor, a religious official.
