The dark robe is a recurring cloak in the Dragon Quest franchise. Its a special cowl with a midnight blue dye, typically worn by Thieves and other agile characters to allow them to blend in with the shadows, increasing evasion.
Localization history[edit]
Note that the item called by this name in Dragon Quest V is an entirely separate garment in Japanese, called the ダークローブ dāku rōbu ("Dark Robe"), which does not increase evasion, but instead reduces Frizz, Sizz, Woosh, and Crack damage by 20 points.
