The Drackmage is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series that was introduced in Dragon Quest II.

It is a green variant of the Dracky that has gained some spellcasting ability.

Characteristics

Drackmages are green, forest-dwelling drackies with a bad habit of casting Kasap on adventurers and often appear in groups. They keep themselves in midair by constantly flapping their large pair of wings. It has a pair of antennae on its head, round feet, and displays a large pair of fangs in its smiling mouth.

Trivia

• The Drackmage's English name is a portmanteau of Dracky and mage, which means 'magic user'; this species is the first in the line to use magic. Its older names, Magidrakee and WizDracky, also allude to this capacity.
• The Japanese name タホドラキー (tahodorakī) is actually a result of the limited Famicom/NES memory of the original Dragon Quest. Due to this limited memory, not all the Japanese kana could be included, so Yuji Horii was required to alter タフドラキー (tafudorakī -- i.e. "tough-dracky") to タホドラキー, which could actually be spelled with the limited kana available. The drackmage's monster descriptions in both X and XI even alludes to unusual origins of its name.
