Dragon Quest X

Prickly prankster appeared from the beginning of the game. They still use Gust Slash and have also learned how to use Flame Slash, Kacrackle Slash, and Lightning Slash. Starting with Version 5.0, vicious prickly pranksters can be encountered in the Netherworld. They continue to use their four elemental slashes, but have grown much stronger.
