The '''Stingfisher''' is a monster that appears exclusively in {{Dragon Quest VII}}. It is an unusual bird with the ability to poison opponents with its attacks. | |||

|name= | ==Characteristics== | ||
| | The '''Stingfisher''' is a boisterous brightly coloured [[Bird family|bird]] that loves to cast '''[[Buff]]''' to bolster the defence of its bird-brained buddies. The beautiful and bright flowery-looking feathers of this fluttering beast serve as a warning, as the avian assailer has a beak packed with [[Poison and Envenomation|poison]], ready to poke at foes and prick the skin enough to inject the toxin in. Their names are a combination of the words "sting" and "kingfisher", although much like their [[Kingfuchsia|red and blue-colored cousins]], they have more in common with hummingbirds. | ||

==Trivia== | |||
* The stingfisher may be based on the [[Wikipedia:Zhenniao|Zhenniao]], also known simply as the Zhen, a legendary bird from Chinese mythology. It is a poisonous bird said to make its habitat in the mountains of what is now southern China, gaining its toxicity from its diet of ingesting poisonous snakes. Throughout most of modern history, the concept of a poisonous bird was believed to simply be a fantastical concept, but some species of poisonous birds have been discovered in nature since 1992, such as the hooded pitohui of Papua New Guinea. | |||
