The Bodkin fletcher is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest IV. It is a stronger variant of the Bodkin archer armed with deadly, Poison-tipped arrows.
Characteristics[edit]
Bodkin fletchers are goblin-like creatures with dark purple skin that don green hoods and blue robes. Their specialty is in launching arrows laced with toxins at unsuspecting adventurers. The fletchers have extracted these toxins from the poisonous bodies of Bubble slimes for their own use.
Thankfully, the archers often carry around Antidotal herbs to cure any party member that has been poisoned. The archers are quite cowardly and will often call for help from their own kind or flee when the odds are against them.
Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit]
Dragon Quest X[edit]
Bodkin fletchers have appeared since the beginning of the game. As always, they are capable of inflicting Poison with their attacks and will call upon more fletchers as backup in battle.
