Hocus chimaera

Dragon Quest Monster Hocus chimaera

Art by Akira Toriyama Kanji メイジキメラ Romanji meiji kimera First Appearance Dragon Quest Old Localization Magiwyvern

Hocus Chimaeras look just like their normal kin, but are composed of warmer colors such as reds and oranges. True to their name, they have learned a wingfull of spells.

Characteristics

Firey feathered, floating, flappy beasts with perpetually fluttering wings that keep them afloat and allow the hocus chimaera to breath a fearsome fire on all adventurers in a single swoop. Despite their magical sounding name, the only thing they can do besides belch fire is peck at opponents with their pointed beaks.
