The '''Dracky''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}. Introduced in the [[Dragon Quest|first game]], it is a cartoon-like bat monster named after the infamous Dracula. Having been featured in merchandise, side-stories, and spin-offs since the original game, they are among the most popular monsters worldwide and are the premiere representatives of the [[Bird family|flying monster]] group.

==Characteristics==
Drackies are essentially bats, albeit goofy ones. They have large wings, antennae, two round feet, a long and thin tail, round eyes, and a fanged mouth that always seems to be smiling.

They do not look very smart or strong, though, much like [[slime]]s, they are capable of becoming powerful creatures. Regardless, they are typically one of the weakest enemies in the games they appear in, usually a step or two above the aforementioned slime in terms of strength. They are speedy, however, and most games grant them a higher-than-average evasion rate.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ}}===
Drackies are liable to be one of the first monsters the player encounters alongside slimes and [[she-slime]]s. A fresh, level 1 hero might want to stick with the slimier monsters since the stronger dracky can be a threat at the very beginning.

==={{DQ7}} {{3DS}} Version===
'''Drackies''' appear as a special monster in the Downloadable Content tablet, Sticky Business, armed with their usual biting attacks. At the end of the dungeon there's a giant version that has higher hit points and that's able to dish out more damage.

Drackies again reprise their role as being one of the weakest monsters fought out in the field. The first monsters the player has to fight are drackies, the group in particular harassing the caravan that would soon be under the control of [[Kiefer]].

==={{DQMJ}}===
The slime takes a backseat as the player's first monster, the dracky being one of the choices alongside the [[Platypunk]] and [[Mischievous mole]]. They are rank F members of the Demon family and are essentially the weakest monster in that family, though they are fast and level up very quickly.

If you synthesis two pairs of Drackies and make sure that one is a plus and the other is a minus, when the two synthesised drackies are synthesised together, they create a '''Great Dracky'''.

Drackies appear in Forewood Forest when night covers the area or when the player enters an underground area. They are one of the weakest monsters in the game, requiring only two hits from a normal Elasto Blast to be defeated.
