Penny Pincher is a recurring skill in the Dragon Quest series. It steals 10% of an enemy's money when it connects, and does not detract from the gold accumulated at the end of battle. In the main series, the skill is performed with a hammer, but it is a normal skill in the Monsters series of games.
Appearances[edit]

It costs 2 MP to use and can be used as many times on the same enemy as desired, although there is a chance that no extra gold will be obtained.
