The '''bodkin bowyer''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first introduced in {{Dragon Quest IV}}. These yellow-hooded variants of the [[bodkin archer]] can rain a flurry of arrows on foes and inflict various [[status effect]]s.
==Characteristics==
Bodkin bowyers are small [[Humanoid family|goblin]]-like creatures with purple skin that don green robes and yellow hoods instead of the normal brown. Their golden-colored hoods indicate that they are among the strongest of the bodkins, only being surpassed later by the [[bodkin bloodbow]].
They carry brown shortbows and their arrows have yellow fletchings. Their arrows are laced with various toxins that can either put unfortunate adventurers to [[Sleep (status)|sleep]], or inflict [[paralysis]], depending on the title, and they also deliver a '''[[Rain of Pain]]''', as well. As a last resort, the bowyers will call for help from more of their kind to assist them.

==Etymology==
==={{DQTact}}===
A ''bodkin'' defines a small, blunt needle with a large eye used to punch through cloth and leather. In terms of archery, it means the archer is using less than ideal ammunition.
Bodkin bowyer appears as an A-rank {{MFamilies}} of the [[demon family]] as part of the original ''Dragon Quest IV'' event alongside [[Kiryl]] on his banner. It could eventually be scouted from any limited banner, as well. The bodkin bowyer can participate in [[Rashaverak]]'s Battle Road as a party member.
:A ''bowyer'' is an older occupational term that refers to one who crafts bows.
