The '''infernal armour''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest III}}. It is a stronger variant of [[Restless armour]] donning suits of armour forged in hell.


An '''Infernal armour''' is a {{MFamilies}} first featured in {{DQ3}}.
==Characteristics==
Like the [[restless armour]], it is a mass of [[Material family|moving metal]] that has taken up its sword against [[human]]s, but is much more dangerous than its wandering counterpart. Formerly depicted as staunch lone wolves, they have learned to summon allies in battle like their contemporaries as of {{VIII}}, while even calling down lightning with their swords by driving them into the ground. According to their monster info in ''X'' and ''XI'', those who don the cursed [[hate mail]] will have their minds and bodies taken over and forced to become servants of a Demon Lord, becoming infernal armours themselves.

The infernal armour's appearance has changed the most since its first appearance compared to the other suits, originally being silver suits of armour chased with gold and a blue plume on their helmets. For the Super Famicom version of ''III'', the armour was changed to black with purple plumes on their helmets. In the Sony PlayStation version of ''IV'', the plume was changed to light grey and it would maintain this colour scheme for its next few appearances. Starting with ''Dragon Quest X'' and most modern appearances, the infernal armour would go back to its original appearance, while the black and gold colour scheme would be used for the [[Schwarzchuld]].

==Trivia==
* In the original Japanese, the infernal armour shares a name with the recurring cursed [[Hate mail]] armour. In ''Dragon Quest X'' and ''XI'', the monster's description states that the armour they wear are one and the same.

The infernal armour is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest III. It is a stronger variant of Restless armour donning suits of armour forged in hell.

Characteristics[edit]

Like the restless armour, it is a mass of moving metal that has taken up its sword against humans, but is much more dangerous than its wandering counterpart. Formerly depicted as staunch lone wolves, they have learned to summon allies in battle like their contemporaries as of VIII, while even calling down lightning with their swords by driving them into the ground. According to their monster info in X and XI, those who don the cursed hate mail will have their minds and bodies taken over and forced to become servants of a Demon Lord, becoming infernal armours themselves.

The infernal armour's appearance has changed the most since its first appearance compared to the other suits, originally being silver suits of armour chased with gold and a blue plume on their helmets. For the Super Famicom version of III, the armour was changed to black with purple plumes on their helmets. In the Sony PlayStation version of IV, the plume was changed to light grey and it would maintain this colour scheme for its next few appearances. Starting with Dragon Quest X and most modern appearances, the infernal armour would go back to its original appearance, while the black and gold colour scheme would be used for the Schwarzchuld.

Defeating three infernal armours with the Pincushion ability is the objective of Quest #107: Off the Record.

Dragon Quest X[edit]

Infernal armour began appearing in Version 2.0 of the game. They are still able to perform desperate attacks, call down lightning by thrusting their swords into the ground, and can block attacks with their shields, but in this game they are capable of summoning Medislimes in battle as backup.

Field Notes Empty suits of armour possessed by the souls of soldiers, and fated to fight till their deaths are avenged. The armour itself was forged in an infernal furnace—rumour has it that they mass produce them in purgatory.
Location(s) Battle of the Pinnacle: Base, The Battle of Accordia
Item(s) Dropped Thunderball, Silver ore


Trivia[edit]

  • In the original Japanese, the infernal armour shares a name with the recurring cursed Hate mail armour. In Dragon Quest X and XI, the monster's description states that the armour they wear are one and the same.
