Hocus chimaera: Difference between revisions

}}

The '''Hocus chimaera''' is a recurring monster in the series, introduced in the original {{DQ}}. They look just like their normal kin, but are composed of warmer colours such as browns and oranges. True to their name, they have learned a wingfull of spells.

Fiery [[Bird family|feathered]], floating, flappy beasts with perpetually fluttering wings that keep them afloat and allow the '''Hocus chimaera''' to breathe a fearsome fire on all adventurers in a single swoop. They bolster their fire-belching ability with knowledge of different spells depending on the game, including healing allies and debilitating their foes.

It is possible for players to change the appearance of a [[Chimaera]] monster companion to that of a Hocus chimaera's with a colour-changing ticket.
