'''Insulatle''', originally localized as '''Barrier''', is a recurring spell in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'' series]]. It decreases the damage dealt by [[Breath attack|breath]] attacks by 50% in nearly all instances.

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
Insulatle is learned by [[Priest]]s and [[Sage]]s at level 32, and costs 6 mp to cast. In the original version the spell will reduce damage by 33%, overriding any additional reductions provided by armour. This bug is fixed in all subsequent versions, and the spell will last 6~9 turns in all versions.

===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
Insulatle is learned by [[Meena]] at level 29, and costs 6 of her magic points to cast. It reduces damage by 50%, setting the precedent for nearly all future appearances.

===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===
Interestingly, Insulatle decreases breath damage by a massive '''70%''' in the original Super Famicom version. This is likely the reason why armour resistances are weaker than usual in ''V''.

===''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''===
Insulatle is learned by [[ranger]]s at level 26 and [[priest]]s at level 43. It reduces breath damage by 25%, capping at 50% when cast twice, and costs 8 mp to cast. The affects of the spell will last for 6~9 turns.

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]''===
Insulatle (then Barrier) is learned by monsters beginning at level 18 if the monster has at least 76 MP and 70 Intelligence. It is learned naturally by [[AmberWeed]], [[KingSlime]], [[MistyWing]], [[WeedBug]], and [[WindMerge]]. [http://www.gamefaqs.com/gbc/197155-dragon-warrior-monsters/faqs/8160]
