==={{DQM}}===
Known as '''ThickFog''' in this game, it costs 8 MP to use and can be learned by [[Killerpillar|Catapila]], [[Grim keeper (Dragon Quest IV)|GateGuard]]s, [[Soulspawn|MadSpirit]]s, [[Shadow]]s, and [[WhipBird]]s once they reach Level 22 and have 120 max MP, 60 ATK, and 160 INT. The effect can only be disabled with [[Disruptive Wave|DeMagic]]. The game's AI is set to only use the skill if the enemy has an attack spell.


==Etymology==
==={{DQM2}}===
*The term ''fog of war'' refers to the situational uncertainty experienced by combatants in military operations. In the video game industry it is also the name for the common Strategy RPG mechanic in which the field map is obscured until the player's units explore beyond their base's range.
ThickFog is now also learned by [[Night emperor|NoctoKings]], [[Discombombulator|PomPomBoms]], and [[Fright knight|Niteriches]]. It has the same properties and requirements as before.

*[[Khalamari (skill)|Khalamari]] (100 points)
*[[Niflheim]] (56 points)
*[[Vile Void]] (60 points)
==Trivia==
* The term ''[[Wikipedia:Fog of war|fog of war]]'' refers to the situational uncertainty experienced by combatants in military operations. In the video game, it is also the name for the common Strategy RPG mechanic in which the field map is obscured until the player's units explore beyond their base's range.
