The '''Picksy''' is a rare, blue monster encountered in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''. It so seldom shows up in battle that players often miss it completely.<br>
The '''picksy''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest IV}}. It is a sprite-like {{MFamilies}} with angelic wings on its back.
 
==Characteristics==
Picksies are {{Humanoid}} creatures with blue skin, a small pair of angelic wings on their back, spiral horns on their forehead, and a large pair of pointed ears. They wear orange togas and sandals. On their heads, they have a shell-like growth in a darker shade of blue than their skin and they have yellow eyes with small irises. The mischievous creatures have a tendency to elude adventurers, as they only become active at certain times of day. In battle, picksies are fond of boosting the agility of themselves and their allies with their '''Acceleratle''' spell. The {{MFamilies}}s are often classified as {{Demon}}s in spinoff games.

==Rarity==
==Trivia==
It is a common complaint among players of ''DQIV'' that, when filling out their 'Big Book of Beasts', they are often missing the Picksy, as it only appears in Chapter 1 in [[Loch Tur]]. When players get the [[balloon]], they can access the tower once more in Chapter 5. Completing the entire monster book awards the player 250,000 tokens for use in the casinos in [[Endor]] and [[Immigrant Town]].
*A [[Wikipedia:Pixie|pixie]] is a type of mythological creature from British folklore. They are generally benign, mischievous, and short in stature, becoming more active at night. Pixies often inhabit ancient underground sites such as rock circles, barrows, and ringforts.
*It is a common complaint among players of {{IV}} that, when filling out [['The Big Book of Beasts']], they are often missing the Picksy, as it only appears in {{DQ4 Chapter 1}} in [[Loch Tur]] at nighttime. When players get the [[balloon]], they can access the tower once more in {{DQ4 Chapters 5 & 6}}. Completing the entire {{MFamilies}} book awards the player 250,000 [[token]]s for use in the [[casino]]s in [[Endor]] and [[Immigrant Town]]. They can also be encountered near the [[Last Chance Saloon]] or north of the [[Desert Inn]] later in the game.
