The Bullfinch is a recurring monster in the series that first appeared in Dragon Quest IV. It is a monstrous hybrid of a bull and a bird.

Characteristics[edit]

The Bullfinch is a massive, bipedal bird-bovine hybrid. They are rather lackadaisical creatures, sometimes entering the fray already asleep.
