The '''Meowgician''' is a monster in the series.
The '''Meowgician''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}. Introduced in {{DQ7}}, it is an anthropomorphic [[Beast family|cat]] with mage-like qualities.


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Mewling bipedal amateur catty casters of magic that wear an orange robe in an attempt to hide their feline form, along with a bronze cat bell worn around their necks on a long chain. Carrying gnarled wooden staves that they constantly tap against the ground, allowing them to fling the fiery '''Frizz''' spell, although they quickly run out of power to cast it.
Meowgicians are anthropomorphic [[Beast family|cat]] mages with light grey fur. They wear orange robes, bronze bells around their necks, and carry gnarled wooden staves that they use to cast simple fire spells. However, the felines are just as likely to waste their turn in battle washing their faces instead of casting magic. In various monster descriptions, the meowgician is said to hide a second tail under its robe and lived for a century prior to learning magic, which are references to the [[Wikipedia:Nekomata|nekomata]] yokai of Japanese mythology, which is a cat whose tail split into two and took on magical properties after living for 100 years.

Meowgician appeared from the beginning of the game. Once again, their repertoire is limited to casting [[Frizz]] in battle. They also have a tendency to waste their turn in battle washing their faces and will flee when threatened. Starting in Version 2.0 of the game, [[Monster Master]]s are able to tame meowgicians as a [[Monster recruitment|monster companion]]. In Version 5.0 of the game, Vicious meowgicians can be faced in the [[Netherworld]], where they cast [[Kafrizz]].
