    The monodromy maps for the quaternionic Riccati equations with periodic oefficients in \(\mathbb{H}\mathbb{P}^1\) are quaternionic Möbius transformations. The author proves that, the quaternionic homographies are divided into three classes: hyperbolic, ellipitc and parabolic, as in the case of automorphisms of \(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^1\).
