The whip has had three distinctive designs throughout the series' history. In the Super Famicom versions of ''III'', ''V'', and ''VI'', the Gringham whip had a beautiful silver and gold handle with a filigree design, decorated with various red and blue gemstones, and featured three lashes with deadly blades at the ends. The second design, featured in ''VII'', as well as remake versions of ''IV'', ''V'', and ''VI'', consists of a blue and teal-colored handle with three lashes, each with a sharp arrowhead-shaped blade at the end, as well as another arrowhead-shaped blade on the end of the handle. Starting with ''VIII'', the Gringham whip now had a red and gold handle and three teal cords braided into a single lash with three arrowhead-shaped blades at the end, along with one of the same blades on the back of the handle. This was done in order to have all whips in the game have the same attack animations.

The Gringham whip is rarely obtained from S rank treasure chests in high-level Grottoes. It grants an attack bonus of 118, and is unique among whips (besides its upgrades) in that its basic attack will hit ''all'' enemies instead of a single group. However, Whip skills will retain their group restrictions. It can be upgraded into the [[Mega Gringham Whip]] and further into the [[Giga Gringham Whip]], if not the [[Über Gringham Whip]].

The Gringham whip is a recurring whip in the Dragon Quest series. It is usually one of the strongest, if not the strongest, whip in the game and occasionally has the ability to attack all enemies instead of a single group.

Characteristics[edit]

The whip has had three distinctive designs throughout the series' history. In the Super Famicom versions of III, V, and VI, the Gringham whip had a beautiful silver and gold handle with a filigree design, decorated with various red and blue gemstones, and featured three lashes with deadly blades at the ends. The second design, featured in VII, as well as remake versions of IV, V, and VI, consists of a blue and teal-coloured handle with three lashes, each with a sharp arrowhead-shaped blade at the end, as well as another arrowhead-shaped blade on the end of the handle. Starting with VIII, the Gringham whip now had a red and gold handle and three teal cords braided into a single lash with three arrowhead-shaped blades at the end, along with one of the same blades on the back of the handle. This was done in order to have all whips in the game have the same attack animations.

Appearances[edit]

In the mobile version, it is the final prize obtained from the mini medal collector in Aliahan after turning in 100 medals.
