Platypunk the Sage is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3.

It is a high-ranking variant of the Platypunk that has achieved enlightenment and become a Sage.

Characteristics

Platypunk the Sages are short, round creatures with the same duckbill, avian claws, and familiar Mohawk hairstyle of their species but with reddish-orange fur with darker red hair on top of their heads and around their eyes, as well as at the end of their long monkey-like tails. Much like how a Crack-billed platypunk became a Mage after attaining knowledge, these Platypunks have achieved even greater spellcasting ability and are among the wisest of all monsters. Its appearances have been limited to spinoff games in the series.
