The '''poison needle''' is a recurring weapon in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''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]].

*The needle's point resembles that of the [[Hell hornet]]--whether this is an intentional decision on [[Akira Toriyama|Toriyama's]] part or a mere coincidence is unknown.
