Drackolyte

From Dragon Quest Wiki

The Dracolyte is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, introduced in the original game.

They are magenta-hued variants of the Dracky that are capable of casting simple magic.

Characteristics[edit]

Drackolytes are cartoonish-looking red or magenta-coloured bats with a large pair of wings, round feet, a long thin tail, and a pair of fangs in their constantly-smiling maws. They pose a greater danger than their swarthy brethren, as players are unlikely to have any defence against spells when first encountering them.
