The '''spiked armour''' is a recurring suit of armor in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series that first appeared in [[Dragon Quest III]]. It causes recoil damage on any attacker that inflicts physical damage, with the exact amount varying between titles. In all its depictions, the spiked armour has a blue cloth emblazoned with a yellow cross on the front.
