{{quote|style=1|quote='''''Hm... Looks like a dear piece o' gear, this bolero does. And there's an unusual power in it, too.

The '''Glombolero''' is a recurring robe in the {{DQSeries}} which first appeared in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''. It has a chance to absorb half the MP from incoming spells in nearly every appearance, similar to [[Absorb Magic]], with the exact drain rate varying between games. Its name comes from the slang word "glom", which means to steal or grab at, and [[Wiktionary:bolero#English|bolero]], a short type of jacket that opens or ties in the front.


The '''Glombolero''' (formerly ''mysterious bolero'') is a recurring robe in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'']] series which first appeared in [[Dragon Quest IV]]. It has a chance to absorb half the MP from incoming spells in nearly every appearance, similar to [[Absorb Magic]], with the exact drain rate varying between games.
==Characteristics==
The original design for the glombolero consisted of a padded blue tunic with shoulder pads and a long purple cloak attached that reaches down the wearer's feet. Starting with the remake version of ''III'', the bolero's design changed to reflect the real-life garment it is named after, being a short dark blue jacket with a capelet made of darker cloth over it. The capelet is held with a silver brooch with an orange jewel and smaller orange beads dangling from it. Later games also added a tunic of lighter blue worn worn underneath the jacket. In some games such as ''X'' and ''Stars'', the glombolero is separated into a torso piece and a piece of legwear.

The glombolero is found in the bonus dungeons of the remakes, nearby the lair of the [[Xenlon|Super Boss]]. It may be equipped by all vocations, providing +30 defence and reducing the cost of spells by 50%, rounded up. This feature stacks with the effects of the [[Mad Cap]] for a 75% reduction.

Humorously, the bolero will absorb MP even when the wearer is deceased, causing a surreal scene when [[Zing]] fails to revive the recipient.

==={{DQ5}}===
The glombolero has a defence bonus of +37. [[Bianca]], [[Nera]], and the [[Hero's Daughter (Dragon Quest V)|Hero's Daughter]] can equip it. The absorption rate is still just 1/6th, and spells cast by party members are no longer affected. They can be acquired in exchange for 10 [[Mini medal|mini medals]] (17 in the remakes) at [[Medal King's Palace]].
The glombolero has a defence bonus of +37. [[Bianca]], [[Nera]], the [[Hero's Daughter (Dragon Quest V)|Hero's Daughter]], and various monster companions can equip it. The absorption rate is still just {{fraction|1|6}}th, and spells cast by party members are no longer affected. It can be acquired in exchange for 10 [[Mini medal|mini medals]] (17 in the remakes) at the [[Medal King's Palace]].

The [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|Hero]], [[Milly]], [[Ashlynn]], [[Nevan]], and the slime buddies can equip the Glombolero for +40 defence and -50 style. It is the reward for giving King Medford 80 mini medals.
The glombolero has a defence bonus of +40, but reduces the wearer's style by 50. It can be equipped by the {{Hero 6}}, [[Milly]], [[Ashlynn]], [[Nevan]], and the slime buddies. It is the reward for giving King Medford 80 [[mini medal]]s.


The absorption rate has jumped up to 50%, but at the cost of only being able to siphon a quarter of a spell's MP. In the DS and Mobile remakes, this has changed so that half of a spell's MP is drained.
