Drackmages appeared from the beginning of the game, once again having their familiar ability to cast [[Kasap]] on novice adventurers.

|description=Enigmatic drackies whose origins are mired in even more mystery than their bat-like brethren. It's not even clear if they're called by their right name.

* The drackmage's English name is a portmanteau of Dracky and mage, which means 'magic user'; this species is the first in the line to use magic. Its older names, Magidrakee and WizDracky, also allude to this capacity.

* The Japanese name タホドラキー (tahodorakī) is actually a result of the limited {{Famicom}}/{{NES}} memory of the original {{Dragon Quest}}. Due to this limited memory, not all the Japanese ''kana'' could be included, so [[Yuji Horii]] was required to alter タフドラキー (tafudorakī -- i.e. "tough-dracky") to タホドラキー, which could actually be spelled with the limited ''kana'' available. The drackmage's monster descriptions in both ''X'' and ''XI'' even alludes to unusual origins of its name.
