Hootingham-Gore is a boss and character in Dragon Quest IX, being the second of the Gittish Empire's Triumgorate.

Like the rest of the Triumgorate, he has gone on to appear in several other games both as a boss and as a recruitable monster.

Characteristics

Hootingham-Gore was originally a human, but he was transformed into an owl-like monster upon his resurrection. His head is actually able to separate from the rest of his body and spin like an owl, such as when he casts spells, and he has small wings on the side of his head, as well. He has striking yellow eyes and his feathers are white and pale green.

He wears a set of golden armour, covered by a long violet robe with golden details and a white and red diamond pattern on the sleeves. On his face, he wears golden and purple jewelry and on top of his head, he wears a spiked, golden skullcap. He carries a gnarled wooden staff with golden metallic decorations and an purple orb at the top of it and decorated with red feathers. Among the Triumgorate, Hootingham-Gore is the most adept when it comes to spellcasting.
