'''Crack''' (ヒャド, ''Hyado | '''Crack''' (ヒャド, ''Hyado'') is a recurring offensive spell in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series and the first in the Crack family of ice spells.

The crystals become larger, more abundant, and far more chilling in appearance as the spell family advances, often extending its target range along with its power. | Crack is often depicted as a sudden growth of ice crystals that cut into a single enemy.
