Appearances[edit | edit source]
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit | edit source]
It appears to be a Mucho macho that has taken possession of the Cirrus Surplice. It was locked in the Multipleximus Maximus by the descendants of the Cirrus. Macho Picchu possesses very high Attack power and very high HPs. It can charge at the party and perform Sword Dance. If this is in combination with Oomph, this can be devastating. However, it can only attack once per turn.
Having a Luminary that knows Hustle Dance can go a long ways but beyond this, shouldn't pose a moderately leveled party too much trouble. Equipping a Miracle sword on either the Hero or Aishe can reduce the need for healing.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
Macho picchu’s gender is never explicitly stated, Ruff bringing the matter to mind when spoken to after the fight. While Macho picchu being a pallet swap of the mucho macho appears male and half of it's name means "masculine", it wore a robe meant to be put on a statue of a female spirit.
