The winky is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first introduced in Dragon Quest IV.

It first appears as a boss alongside Psaro's Pawn, but can be faced as a regular monster afterwards.

Characteristics

Winkies are blue bipedal demons with builds similar to a flightless bird. They have long legs which they can run quickly with, a tiny pair of arms, and their heads are made up almost entirely of a singular giant eyeball surrounded by three pairs of thin frills. It can attack by smacking opponents with its head or even shoot beams out of its eye. Despite its diminutive appearance, a winky becomes more dangerous when its HP is critical, changing its skin color to red and becoming capable of attacking twice in a turn.

A Winky plays an important role as a minion to Psaro's Pawn in Chapter 1. Its duty is to bring the children of Strathbaile to Psaro's Pawn Loch Tur after they wore the Talaria found in Auld Well, a location the children only knows about. Psaro's Pawn's plan was to kill the children in the hope that one of them turned out to be the Chosen One as a child, unaware that they are already grown-up and living in the Hidden Valley. Winky and Psaro's Pawn must be fought at the end of Loch Tur to save the children, serving as the chapter's only boss fight.
