The Blinkster is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest IV. It is a juvenile one-eyed monster that is a prodigy mage.

Characteristics

Blinksters are young, one-eyed demon magicians with green skin that levitate in midair. They wear blue wizard robes and wide-brimmed pointy hats that look almost too big for their bodies. They carry wands topped with a blue crystal orb in their left hands, which they use to cast rudimentary ice magic. Much like their orange-skinned cousins, the blinksters typically lack the reserves of magical power to continuously cast their spells in battle.

In-game description

Wait for these witless wizards to waste their MP on snowy spells, then whack them back!

On days off, they don top hats and set out to work the magic circuit. They're available for birthdays and other bashes.
