The '''Dingbat''' is an intermediate monster vocation in {{Dragon Quest VII}}.

==Description==
The [[Dingbat]] is an unusual red demon with bird-like features and a huge pair of wings on its back that is a versatile attacker. It offers an slight to moderate increase in most categories and a drop in Wisdom. The vocation also has an increased chance to land a critical hit, with the frequency being calculated as ''rank 1 = 1/256, 2 = 1/256, 3 = 1/64, 4 = 1/32, 5 = 1/16, 6 = 1/16, 7 = 1/16, 8 = 1/8''.

Additionally, reaching rank 8 will grant a character with a slight resistance to '''all''' elements (except Woosh and fire breath) and a strong resistance to all status ailments and strike skills. Mastering the vocation is required in order to become a [[Barbatos (vocation)|Barbatos]] or a [[Prism peacock (vocation)|Prism peacock]].

==Requirements==
To become a Dingbat, a character needs to master the [[Jawtoise (Vocation)|Jawtoise]], [[Chimaera (Vocation)|Chimaera]], and [[Kingfuchsia (Vocation)|Kingfuchsia]] classes or have a monster heart in their inventory when going to {{Alltrades Abbey 7}} to change their vocation. A '''Dingbat Heart''' can also be won from the '''Lucky Panel''' game in [[The Haven]]'s casino. Additionally, it can be dropped from Dingbats in the [[Hidden Pyramid]] or the {{Alltrades Abbey 7}} region in the present after the events at the [[Cathedral of Blight|Cathedral of Light]]. However, dingbats only have a {{fraction|1|512}} chance of dropping their heart after battle.
*In the Nintendo 3DS version, it is also possible to acquire a Dingbat heart by creating a custom [[Traveller's Tablet]] with a Dingbat as the boss.
