CharacteristicsEdit
Jinksters are young, one-eyed demon wizards with indigo skin that levitate in midair. They wear red or orange robes, wide-brimmed pointy hats that are almost as large as them, and necklaces with green jewels around their necks. In their left hands, they carry wands used for spellcasting. The jinksters are able to cast simple fire or explosive spells, although sometimes they lack the necessary magic power to do so.
AppearancesEdit
Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the ChosenEdit
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry SkiesEdit
Dragon Quest XEdit
Jinksters appeared from the beginning of the game. Their spellcasting is more impressive than either of their previous appearances, being able to cast Frizzle, Boom, and Snub in battle. The wizards can be summoned by Goodybags to assist them in battle.

Dragon Quest: The Adventure of DaiEdit
A jinkster named Piroro serves as Killvearn's sidekick, often seen floating about the Grim Reaper or sitting on his shoulder. Piroro has more powerful magical abilities than jinksters are usually depicted with (including access to the Kacrack spell), though being a non-combatant he rarely displays them. He is shown to have two small horns under his hat when it is removed.
