{{Monster Infobox |title=Bodkin bowyer |image=[[File:DQIV_Bodkin_Bowyer.png|275px]] |caption=Art by [[Akira Toriyama]] |kanji=アローインプ |romanji={{tt|Arō inpu|Arrow-imp}} |old=Arrop (''IV'' NES and ''Torneko 2'' PS1) |firstappear={{Dragon Quest IV}} }} The '''bodkin bowyer''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first introduced in {{Dragon Quest IV}}. These yellow-hooded variants of the [[bodkin archer]] can rain a flurry of arrows on foes and inflict various [[status effect]]s. ==Characteristics== Bodkin bowyers are small [[Humanoid family|goblin]]-like creatures with purple skin that don green robes and yellow hoods instead of the normal brown. Their golden-colored hoods indicate that they are among the strongest of the bodkins, only being surpassed later by the [[bodkin bloodbow]]. They carry brown shortbows and their arrows have yellow fletchings. Their arrows are laced with various toxins that can either put unfortunate adventurers to [[Sleep (status)|sleep]], or inflict [[paralysis]], depending on the title, and they also deliver a '''[[Rain of Pain]]''', as well. As a last resort, the bowyers will call for help from more of their kind to assist them. ==Appearances== ==={{DQ4}}=== {{DQ4Enemy |name=Bodkin bowyer |kanji=アローインプ |romanji=Arō inpu |bestiaryNumber=#068 |sprite=[[File:Bodkin Bowyer DQIV NES.png]] |hp=27 |mp=0 |attack=46 |defense=36 |agility=21 |exp=47 |gold=16 |spells=None |skills=Calls for backup (Bodkin bowyer)<br>[[Sleep Attack]] |item=[[Wayfarer's clothes]]({{fraction|1|256}}) |locations=Desert south of the [[Last Chance Saloon]]<br>[[Porthrunnel]] region |evasion={{fraction|1|16}} |frizz-resist=25% |sizz-resist=0% |bang-resist=0% |crack-resist=0% |woosh-resist=0% |zap-resist=0% |whack-resist=25% |kamikazee-resist=0% |poof-resist=100% |dazzle-resist=25% |snooze-resist=25% |drain-magic-resist=100% |fizzle-resist=100% |fuddle-resist=0% |sap-resist=0% |remake-sprites=[[Image:Sprite DQIV PSX Bodkin bowyer.png]] |remake-changes=None }} ==={{DQ8}}=== {{DQ8Enemy |name=Bodkin bowyer |kanji=アローインプ |romanji=Arō inpu |sprite=[[File:HQDQ8-42.gif]] |hp=48 |mp=255 |exp=43 |gold=17 |attack=46 |defense=36 |agility=37 |bestiaryNumber=#042 |family={{Humanoid}} |description=Great archers in spite of their size.
