The Golden claws are an unofficially "cursed" weapon that attracts monsters in Dragon Quest III.

Details

The weapon has an attack bonus of +55. It can be found in the Pyramid, and sold for 11,250 G in the weapon/armour shops. It is a curse that means the party will encounter a battle at every step as soon as they possess it until they sell or discard the gauntlet. In the remakes of III, the claws will only force battles while within the tomb.

In the "Dragon Quest Item Storybook" and in the official art for the golden claws, the weapon is depicted as being of Egyptian design.
