{{spoiler|start}}Tom Foolery is first seen in [[Laissez Fayre]] in [[Dragon Quest IV Chapter 5|Chapter 5]], as a replacement act for [[Maya]]. When the party travels to [[Canalot]] in search of the [[Zenithia Equipment]], the king says he will only give the equipment to the person who can make him laugh. The party runs down to Laissez Fayre and recruits Tom for the task, but when he reaches there, instead of delivering on his promise he makes a speech on the necessity of assisting the Chosen. The king is convinced and gives up his treasure, after which Tom leaves the party and begins traveling.

The ''IV'' version of Tom will appear in the near-future version of [[Reaper's Peak]], using his sprite from the DS version of the game instead of a generic NPC. He is in the inn, and explains that he needed a bodyguard to reach the village. However, it took five days for the pair to make it Reaper's Peak and [[Hardie]] left as soon as they got there, leaving Tom to make a pun at his expense.
