The Iron armour is a recurring suit of armour in the Dragon Quest series. It is a strong suit of armour made out of beaten iron plates.
Characteristics[edit]
The iron armour consists of a breastplate, pauldrons, and faulds made out of beaten iron plates. The armour is grey with gold edges and the pieces are attached with a series of brown leather belts. In character art, the iron armour often includes a pair of sabatons (boots) made out of iron, as well. It is the standard equipment of castle guards. Because of its weight, its usage is typically restricted to physically stronger characters. It has appeared in every main entry in the series except for Dragon Quest II. In Dragon Quest IX and X, a blue long-sleeved shirt is worn underneath the armour.
