The Cyclown is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, debuting in Dragon Quest IV. It is a blue, humanish Elemental whose lower body is perpetually wrapped in a swirling whirlwind.

Characteristics

Cyclowns are blue humanoid creatures with cartoonish faces and two antennae on top of their heads. Their most notable feature is the cyclone that they ride around on, which they create with their legs and completely obscures the lower halves of their body.

When a Cyclown is defeated in IX, their whirlwind will disappear, revealing that their lower bodies are scrawny.
