The Oinkubus is a monster and boss that appears exclusively in Dragon Quest VII.

Characteristics

The oinkubus is a porky, sandy skinned swine that swoops into battle on pathetic little porcine wings, armed with a pointed pitchfork for poking at opponents. Their beady little eyes, surrounded by their beefy cheeks, hide a quick wit and they love a good laugh at the expense of others, although they spend half the battle simply laughing flippantly at their adversaries. You'd think they'd be afraid of fire, but their familiarity with desert dwelling allows them to spray an entire group of adventurers with fire breath. They can also cast Heal to help themselves out of a sticky spot.

Etymology

The oinkubus's English name references the incubus, a male demon from European mythology that is said to seduce sleeping women in their dreams and engage in sexual activity with them. It was believed that the children born from these unions could become wizards. The female counterpart to the incubus is the succubus.
