The Monarchaeopteryx is a monster in Dragon Quest VII.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Monarchaeopteryxes are large, flightless bird monsters with white feathers, orange undersides and tails, and sharp beaks. These avian monsters can call down lightning on their opponents or slice them apart with their sharp talons. The monarchaeopteryx's name is a combination of monarchy and the Archaeopteryx, a bird-like dinosaur from the Jurassic period which helped provide the link between birds and reptiles.
Appearances[edit | edit source]
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit | edit source]
*There are two scripted encounters with Monarchaeopteryxes when the party is stranded in Emberdale after the islands have been sealed away again. One battle is with a Monarchaeopteryx, a Mandrake major, and a Very devil and another with two Monarchaeopteryxes and a Mandrake major. They should not pose any major threat to a sufficiently leveled party and can be taken out easily with group-targeting attacks such as Thin Air.
