Prestidigitators are [[Humanoid family|humanoid monsters]] capable of casting spells, likely being the first enemy that [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|the Hero]] encounters that can do so. They wear long grey robes that cover their entire body, showing only their hands and their eyes from underneath their cloaks. Some of them are seen carrying wands. Although they appeared in the series debut, these cloaked mages have yet to reappear in any of the main series, as their role as basic spellcasters has been taken over by other monsters.
Despite having one of the more varied appearances throughout the series, '''magicians''' are typically mysterious robed figures with no discernable physical characteristics. As expected from their name, they can cast basic magical spells.<br />
