The '''zombie mail''' is a recurring suit of armor in the ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' series. It is a mid-level piece of armour in every appearance, but it is a [[cursed]] item in it's debut as well as the eighth game. The armour did a complete about-face when resurrected for the eleventh game, now protecting against being cursed in battle.
