The Wiz pip is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, introduced in Dragon Quest VII. It is a tiny faerie magician.
Characteristics[edit]
Wicked little pitiful pixies that wield magic with the aid of a shiny star tipped wand. Dressed in a funny little cape and hat constructed of blue leaves, these wee beasts are actually much more accurate than their less skilled allies, with their magic power allowing them to cast the chilling Crack and fiery Frizz spells and even lower the defence of foes with Sap in order to help their cohorts out. Some say that the only way they can cast spells at all is with the aid of their wicked wands.

Etymology[edit]
The wiz pip, along with its companions, are named after the mythological Korpokkur, a diminutive race of people in the folklore of the Ainu people of northern Japan. They were once said to live in harmony with the Ainu and would bring them deer, fish, and other goods, but after a schism, they disappeared. In fantastical depictions of the Korpokkurs, they are small enough to live underneath the leaves of the giant butterbur plant and would use its leaves as roofs and umbrellas.
