The '''Epipany''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest VII}}. It is a tiny faerie priest.
==Characteristics==
These tiny blue neophytes are doing their best imitation of a human cleric, complete with a silver religious symbol in their left hand, vestments made out of blue leaves, an acorn miter on top of their head which covers their eyes, and a golden pendant of a slime worn around their neck. They are able to support their other pips by casting '''[[Heal]]''' on their wounds. Epipanies even try their hand at casting '''[[Omniheal]]''', but always fall short due to their lack of MP and fall over. In remake versions of the game, the shape of the cross that the epipany carries was changed to closer resemble a trident.

The Epipany is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest VII. It is a tiny faerie priest.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

These tiny blue neophytes are doing their best imitation of a human cleric, complete with a silver religious symbol in their left hand, vestments made out of blue leaves, an acorn miter on top of their head which covers their eyes, and a golden pendant of a slime worn around their neck. They are able to support their other pips by casting Heal on their wounds. Epipanies even try their hand at casting Omniheal, but always fall short due to their lack of MP and fall over. In remake versions of the game, the shape of the cross that the epipany carries was changed to closer resemble a trident.
