Bamboo lance
The bamboo lance, also known as bamboo spear, bamboo pole, bamboo stick, or simply pole, is a recurring spear in the Dragon Quest series. It is a simple length of cut bamboo sharpened to a point. It is cheap, but not very powerful.
Appearances
Dragon Quest
Due to text restrictions in the Gameboy Color remake of Dragon Quest, the bamboo pole was renamed to Bamboo with a picture of a pole beside it. Additionally, The Hero starts his quest with it in the Mobile, Android and iOS versions of the game, though it's unequipped.
