Editing Shypox

'''Shypox''' is an optional handicap available in ''[[Dragon Quest XI]]'', which gives the [[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|Luminary]] a chance to be stunned for one turn in battle due to becoming cripplingly embarrassed; this can range from enemies staring too intently at him to remembering bad childhood memories, a strong breeze ruining his hair, etc. For the ''S: Definitive Edition'' that first appeared on the [[Nintendo Switch]] hardware, a super strain of shypox was introduced that can affect the entire party at once. As with the other [[Draconian Quest]] penalties, shypox is not recommended for first-time players.
