The Oligarchaeopteryx is a monster that appears exclusively in Dragon Quest VII. They can be found in Pillar of Sulkk in both the past and present, Nottagen Cavern, and Falls Hollow.

Characteristics

Brown bouncing dino-birds with beastly beaks capable of breaking stone and smashing adventurers. They can't help but constantly dance and flit through the air, and the hypnotic way they wave their tails in a fuddle dance that can confuse an entire party of adventurers. Their razor-sharp talons are also used to rake their opponents apart.

Etymology

The oligarchaeopteryx's name is a combination of oligarchy, suggesting their strength over the anarchaeopteryx; and archaeopteryx, a bird-like dinosaur from the Jurassic period which helped provide the link between birds and reptiles.
