==Characteristics==
Bodkin fletchers are [[Humanoid family|goblin]]-like creatures with dark purple skin that don green hoods and blue robes. Their specialty is in launching arrows laced with toxins at unsuspecting adventurers. The fletchers have extracted these toxins from the poisonous bodies of [[bubble slime]]s for their own use. Thankfully, the archers often carry around antidotal herbs to cure any party member that has been poisoned. The archers are quite cowardly and will often call for help from their own kind or flee when the odds are against them.

The Bodkin fletcher is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest IV. It is a stronger variant of the Bodkin archer armed with deadly, Poison-tipped arrows.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Bodkin fletchers are goblin-like creatures with dark purple skin that don green hoods and blue robes. Their specialty is in launching arrows laced with toxins at unsuspecting adventurers. The fletchers have extracted these toxins from the poisonous bodies of Bubble slimes for their own use.

Thankfully, the archers often carry around Antidotal herbs to cure any party member that has been poisoned. The archers are quite cowardly and will often call for help from their own kind or flee when the odds are against them.
