CharacteristicsEdit
Pink pint-sized porky sorcerers that sling potent spells and poke at foes with their funky pronged forks. These porky pudgy punks love to dazzle an entire party before belching crushing cool breath at foes.
DetailsEdit
The party will encounter hocus porcuses as minibosses twice in the town of Nottagen and once in the Pillar of Sulkk. They should pose no threat to a leveled up party, as they simply have higher stats than their normal counterparts. Curious enough, in the 3DS version of the game, the boss versions of the monster are labeled as forky pigs when they are clearly supposed to be hocus porcuses.
