The '''hate mail''' is a recurring set of armour in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. It appears to be made out of the corpse and bones of a demon and often boasts a high amount of defense, but it is a [[curses|cursed]] piece of equipment, having a chance to paralyze the wearer.

It is stated in [[infernal armour]]s' bestiary descriptions in {{Dragon Quest X}} and {{Dragon Quest XI}} that people who wear the hate mail will be turned into those monsters.
