Porcus (トンブー, Tonbū ) is a character from Dragon Quest Treasures. He joins Erik and Mia in their treasure-hunting quest alongside his sister Purrsula.

Appearance and personality

Porcus looks like a small, lime green pig with butterfly-like wings, but this is a facade: he and his sister are in fact junior gods who must hide their true form while on their coming-of-age test. He describes his real body as being rather handsome, but Purrsula writes him off as a brutish galoot.

He is the more even-tempered of the twins and takes a fancy to Mia, accompanying her when she ventures out from Eggshell Island and advising her on the adventure. He likes to lay atop her head when the two are at rest.

Appearances

Dragon Quest Treasures

Porcus and Purrsula are junior gods who hail from a world separate from Erdrea and Draconia. The two are tasked with retrieving the Seven Stones from the floating archipelago and were ordered by their elder gods to conceal their forms during this mission, with their current appearance taken from the mundane animals they saw while travelling Erdrea. The siblings are captured by vikings prior to the beginning of the game and are kept locked up in a cage suspended from the main mast of one of a ship, before being freed by Erik at Mia's insistence upon seeing their pitiful state. The vikings spot the children freeing the misfortunate gods and the quartet flees in a small boat, sailing to an uncharted island with a shrine housing two gorgeous knives on crystalline plinths. Erik and Mia yank the shivs from their housing and activate a teleportal that pulls all four into the world of Draconia whilst separating them.

Mia and Porcus awaken in a holding cell within the Thunderous Plunderers' encampment, with the little girl now able to understand Porcus' speech thanks to the magic of her new dagger. The two escape the cell with the help of a cutie slime named Oozabella and make their way through the encampment to find Erik and Purrsula, following their trail to the abandoned factory at the top of The Paternoggin.

Trivia

  • Despite his sister calling him a brute, Porcus is rather handy at tidying up and was the one to fix up the display room on Eggshell Island
