Spinchilla

From Dragon Quest Wiki

The Spinchilla is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest IV. They are Elementals that embody the roaring vortexes manifesting on the ocean's surface, hence their sea-green skin and whirlpool instead of a whirlwind. The species' name is a pun based on the Chinchilla rodent.

Characteristics[edit]

Spinchillas are unusual green-skinned sea elementals with cartoonish faces that ride around on swirling whirlpools. They have augmented the wind manipulation abilities possessed by their blue cousins with control over the stormy seas as well, being capable of freezing adventurers solid with their ice magic.

They ride atop a raging torrent, spinning their bodies to cast Crackle, and swirling like a stormy sea to evade attack.

They're sea spirits who sit inside their twisting aquatic tornadoes trying to turn travellers into so many tons of tundra.
