"A single jab with this in the right spot would likely finish the enemy off in one fell swoop."
—Dragon Quest VII description
The poison needle is a recurring weapon in the Dragon Quest series. It is a novelty weapon that has a chance to instantly kill an enemy in a single strike, but otherwise can only inflict one point of damage. Both of these attributes make the needle an invaluable weapon against metal monsters. It's point resembles that of a hell hornet's stinger, but this may be a coincidence.
