Iron armour

File:DVIIIIronArmour.png

Iron Armor (Half Plate, Iron Armour) is an armor item seen in many games in the Dragon Quest series. Iron Armor is a strong piece of armor made from beaten out iron panels. Although you can't move about so fast, it really protects you from an enemy's blows. In the first Dragon Quest, it was named Half Plate.
