The '''Horknight''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in ''[[Dragon Quest XI]]''. It is an armoured [[Grublin]] riding on the back of a wasp mount.

==Characteristics==
Horknights are more heavily armored [[Humanoid family|cavalrymen]] compared to their foot soldier counterparts, donning simple iron breastplates and horned iron masks, along with a pair of leather gloves. They wield jousting lances in their right hands instead of their chipped swords, using their left hands to hold the reins that maneuver their wasp mounts. The wasps have yellow bodies with brown stripes on their abdomens and they wear leather masks and saddles on the back of their thoraxes in order to seat their riders. They can fire off stingers laced with a sleep-inducing toxin at their opponents.
