Red Pooka (Japanese: アカプーカ) is a DLC quest monster in  Etrian Mystery Dungeon. It can only be encountered after accepting the quest Know the Red Pookas?.

Like Pookas and Gold Guardians, it only takes one point of damage for all attacks. However, since it doesn't have much HP, it can be defeated faster with fixed damage, like Blowback Sigil or Poison. It is also immune to Binds.

In battle it acts every 2 turns, and it can skip its turn because of Idle Float.

This monster tries to avoid combat, so you should try to corner it in a room or attack it from a distance. As it flies, this can make it impossible to fight in dungeons without walls, like Thunderous Cave or Torrential Ravine. Furthermore, its Help Me! skill makes the end of the fight complicated because it can teleport elsewhere as soon as it meets one of party member. Unlike the Pooka, it can even leave the area permanently, so attacking it from a distance can be useful to prevent it from using its "Run Away" skill.

Drops

• White Potion (Worth: 888 Ental) : Secret salve that raises the user's level by 1. Has the same effect when thrown.
• Golden Potion (Worth: 2,500 Ental) : Secret golden salve that raises the user's level by 3. Has the same effect when thrown.

Skills

Name		Body Part	In-Game Description	Effects
English	Japanese
Flight Instinct	逃走の心	None	Runs away upon sighting an enemy because of its timid nature.	Passive skill. This skill modifies the AI of the monster. This will make the Red Pooka try to run away from the player instead of approaching to fight. However, this only works in a room, so it is possible to fight it in a corridor without it running away (except with Help Me! or Run Away).
Daydreaming	うかつな心	None	As a careless being, it cannot move too quickly.	Passive Skill. Decreases the speed of the monster, allowing it to act only every other turn.
Keep Up!	ついてこれる？	Head	Makes all enemies in the room move slower for 10 turns.	Used only after it has lost 5 HP.
Idle Float	ぷかぷか	Legs	Floats in place. It's unclear what this unit is thinking.	The monster misses its turn. It is then written "Pooka is floating."
Help Me!	たすけて魔物さん	Legs	Summons monsters due to feeling threatened and runs away to a different room.	Summons between 1 and 4 monsters and teleports itself elsewhere in the floor. Used only when it has lost 13 HP and when a party member is on an adjacent tile.
Run Away!	にげろー	Legs	Hurriedly runs away from the zone because it feels threatened.	The Red Pooka disappears permanently from the zone. Used only after using Help Me! twice and when a party member is on an adjacent tile.

Spawn Locations

This monster can spawn in all dungeons only when the quest Know the Red Pookas? is active. It means that once the quest is completed, that is to say when 3 Red Pooka have been defeated, no Red Pooka appear until the quest is accepted again.
