Hades' helm (Equipment)
The Hades' helm is a recurring helmet in the Dragon Quest series. It is a purple helmet with yellow horn-like protrusions and a fur collar and is typically a cursed piece of equipment, though as of the eleventh game it has begun to protect its wearer against being cursed instead.
