The '''Picksy''' is a rare, blue {{MFamilies}} encountered in {{DQ4}}.
The '''Picksy''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest IV}}. It is a sprite-like monster with angelic wings on its back.


It so seldom shows up in battle that players often miss it completely.
==Characteristics==
Picksies are [[Humanoid family|humanoid]] creatures with blue skin, a small pair of angelic wings on their back, spiral horns on their forehead, and a large pair of pointed ears. They wear orange togas and sandals. On their heads, they have a shell-like growth in a darker shade of blue than their skin and they have yellow eyes with small irises. The mischievous creatures have a tendency to elude adventurers, as they only become active at certain times of day. In battle, picksies are fond of boosting the agility of themselves and their allies with their '''Acceleratle''' spell. The monsters are often classified as [[Demon family|demon]]s in spinoff games.

==Rarity and finding them==
==Trivia==
It is a common complaint among players of {{IV}} that, when filling out [['The Big Book of Beasts']], they are often missing the Picksy, as it only appears in {{DQ4 Chapter 1}} in [[Loch Tur]]. When players get the [[balloon]], they can access the tower once more in {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}. Completing the entire monster book awards the player 250,000 tokens for use in the [[casino]]s in [[Endor]] and [[Immigrant Town]].
* A [[Wikipedia:Pixie|pixie]] is a type of mythological creature from British folklore. They are generally benign, mischievous, and short in stature, becoming more active at night. Pixies often inhabit ancient underground sites such as rock circles, barrows, and ringforts.
