'''Tangleweb''' is a purchasable item from ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]'' and a found item in ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''. The globs of gossamer have served as utilities in battle as well as alchemical ingredients.
==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
Tangleweb is an item to be used as a tool during battle and will mimic the [[Deceleratle]] spell by reducing all enemies' agility to zero, barring bosses and metal slimes. It can be purchased in several stores for 35 gold.
*In the original [[NES]] version, tangleweb did not use Deceleratle's programming tag and would work 100% of the time on all non-boss monsters. This was changed in the [[SNES]] remake to use the spell's tag going forward to all subsequent versions and ports.

==={{DQ7}}===
Due to Deceleratle not being present, bundles of tangleweb now stun a single foe for one turn. Tangleweb is still a common item, and can be bought from several shops for 35 gold once again.

==={{DQ9}}===
Tangleweb reduces all enemies' agility by 25% when used in battle, and can be bought at [[Batsureg]], [[Upover]], [[Wormwood Creek]] for 35 gold. The [[Widow's pique]], [[Cyber spider]], and [[Cumaulus]] enemies drop the webs at rates of 1/8th and 1/32 respectively.

Beyond being a tool, tangleweb balls can also be used in a variety of [[Lists of alchemy recipes in Dragon Quest IX|alchemy recipes]].

==={{DQ10}}===
Tangleweb reduces an enemy's actual reaction time, adding up to five seconds of inactivity before a turn takes place.

'''Black pepper''', formerly translated as '''pepper''', is a quest-related item in ''[[Dragon Quest III]]''. It is required before [[Erdrick|the Hero]] can obtain a [[Ship|ship]].

==Quest for a Ship==
Black Pepper is first heard of when the hero visits the city of [[Portoga]]. The King of that land is the proud owner of a fleet of ships, but will only allow the hero to use one of his ships if the hero can bring him some of the rare and highly desired spice from the east. Giving the hero a [[Royal Missive]] to gain passage from [[Nordy the Dwarf|his friend]] through the [[Nordy's Grotto]] mountains, the King of Portoga tasks the hero with this quest, though he doubts it shall be completed. Soon, the hero arrives in the town of [[Baharata]], where the spice is grown and sold. However, the only shop that sells the pepper is closed due to the kidnapping of the shopkeeper's daughter, Tanaya. When speaking with the distressed shopkeeper and his daughter's boyfriend, [[Gopal Gupta]], her boyfriend rashly rushes off to [[Kidnapper's Cave]] and is also captured. The hero must defeat [[Robbin' 'Ood]] and his [[Robbin' huddle|henchmen]] once more to save the young lovers and earn a chance to buy the spice. However, as a kind gesture, Gopal gives the hero the Black Pepper for free once he inherits the shop.

==Remakes==
In the GBC and SNES remakes, more Black Pepper can be received upon further visits to Baharata, despite the lack of purpose for the spice. This feature was removed in the mobile, Android, and iOS releases of the game, but is present in the Switch edition.
