The Bowboy monster family (Japanese: ボウヤー系, Bouyā Kei) in Nintendo DS Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer consists of:

  1. Bowboy (Japanese: ボウヤー, Bouyā)
  2. Crossbowboy (Japanese: クロスボウヤー, Kurosubouyā)

Bowboys and Crossbowboys are small elf-like creatures with light brown flesh and tall pointed ears. With small grey feet and hands. Atop their head is a pointed olive elven hat, which changes to sky blue in Crossbowboys. when attacking, a simple wooden bow materializes in front of the monster which fires an arrow at Shiren while they are knocked onto their back from the recoil.

Monster Behaviour

When not disturbed by any Status Conditions, Bowboy Family Monsters only use arrows to attack Shiren, which can be from a distance in a straight line, or from directly adjacent to Shiren. They do not approach Shiren but will situate themselves where Shiren is in a straight line of sight and can be shot at. When their target moves out of position, they will try to correct this by moving closer diagonally, so that Shiren is in their line of sight once more.

Bowboy Family Monsters attack by firing Arrows:

Bowboy: Shoots Wooden Arrows.
Crossbowboy: Shoots Iron Arrows.
