Forest-dwelling drackies who lure foes into a false sense of security, before draining them dry with Kasap. Being a leafy shade of green, they often mistake foliage for friends, and end up talking to trees. |

Drackmage appears as an E-rank monster of the Demon family. It can be recruited from Chapter 3, Episode 2: Onward! and Chapter 7, Episode 1: A New Adventure and it can participate in the Battle Roads of Dracky, Leery lout, and Troll as a party member.
Etymology
- Drackmage is a portmanteau of Dracky and mage, which means 'magic user'; this species is the first in the line to use magic. Its other names, Magidrakee and WizDracky, also allude to this capacity.
- The Japanese name タホドラキー (tahodorakī) is actually a result of the limited Famicom/NES memory of the original Dragon Quest. Due to this limited memory, not all the Japanese kana could be included, so Yujii Horii was required to alter タフドラキー (tafudorakī -- i.e. "tough-dracky") to タホドラキー, which could actually be spelled with the limited kana available.
