The '''Belisha beakon''' is a monster in the series. | |||
==Characteristics== | |||
Belisha Beakons are large flightless birds, having blue plumage and purple skin. Just like their weaker relatives, they are able to attack twice per turn, but can also cast wind magic in the form of [[Woosh]] in their debut and Swoosh in both ''IX'' and ''X'', the latter game giving them the ability stun enemies with [[War Cry]] and attacking them from a distance with a [[Jump Strike|jumping attack]]. According to their monster description in various games starting with ''Dragon Quest X'', they are pathological liars, having destroyed the lives of many monsters who believed them. The monster's English is a play on [[wikipedia:Belisha beacon|belisha beacons]] - the illuminated orange globes at the top of the black-and-white striped poles marking [[wikipedia:Zebra crossing|zebra crossings]] in the United Kingdom. The Japanese name of the monster, "akairai", is a reference to the [[wikipedia:Achaierai|Achaierai]] monster from the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' tabletop game. | |||
All three beakon monsters are exaggerated parodies of the ''[[Wikipedia:Phorusrhacidae|Phorusrhacidae]]'' family of flightless birds. More commonly known as terror birds, they possessed enormous beaks and existed as apex predators in the plains of South America roughly 2 million years ago in the Cenozoic era. | |||

== | ==Trivia== | ||
{{ | *The Belisha beakon's description of being a pathological liar in some recent games is related to a rumour based on the Famicom version of ''Dragon Quest III''. In the original game, belisha beakons have a notoriously low chance of dropping a [[Words of Wisdom]] at {{fraction|1|2048}} (approximately 0.049% when rounded up). The drop rate was so low, a rumour began to spread that the monsters didn't actually drop the book at all, as even the ''Dragon Quest III Official Guide Book'' stated that the item's drop rate was "almost never".<ref>[https://wikiwiki.jp/dqdic3rd/%E3%80%90%E3%82%A2%E3%82%AB%E3%82%A4%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%80%91#k3e06be6 Akairai on Dragon Quest Encyclopedia] (Japanese site)</ref> | ||
