The '''Dread dagger''' is a recurring knife in the {{DQSeries}}. It deals additional damage to monsters of the [[Bug family]] and has a chance to inflict either [[status effect|paralysis or confusion]] when attacking. Though very similar to the [[Poison moth knife]], the dread dagger is not always the upgraded version of that weapon.
