The Forky pig is a monster in the game Dragon Quest VII. They can be found in the Western Cave and the Dungeon of Descent.

Characteristics

Forky pigs are small, ugly anthropomorphic pigs with the stereotypical characteristics of a cartoon devil, although their evil abilities aren't to be underestimated. Their pudgy porcen faces hide the ability to fire off a fiercely cold breath attack that strikes all enemies and they can launch the troublesome Kasap spell to lower the defence of all enemies. Their bodies are mostly covered in a thick stringy purple fur and they have a small pair of black dark wings on their back, as well as a long forked tail. They wield black pitchforks that they not only poke and prod with, but also defend against incoming attacks.
