Hate mail

The hate mail, also known as the Gremlin's armor, Armor of Hades, and devil armor, is a recurring set of armour in the Dragon Quest series. It appears to be made out of the corpse and bones of a demon and often boasts a high amount of defense, but it is a cursed piece of equipment.

Dragon Quest II

The hate mail (known as the Gremlin's Armor in the NES version and Devil Armor in the GBC version) has a defence bonus of +87 (+50 in the NES version). It can be equipped by the Hero and the Prince of Cannock. It is easily the most powerful piece of equipment in the game, but it is cursed. It is dropped by batmandrills.

The hate mail has a defence bonus of +65, but will random freeze the wearer. It can be equipped by both the Hero and Warriors, and can sold for 5,250 gold coins. It is found in the Mountain Cave.

Dragon Quest V

The hate mail (here called Devil Armour) has a defense bonus of +65. It can only be equipped by certain monster companions.

Dragon Quest VII

The hate mail has a defence bonus of +65 and a style bonus of +15, but it has a chance of randomly paralyzing the wearer in battle. It can be equipped by the Hero and Aishe. It also reduces damage taken from magic and ice attacks. One set can be found in the Nottagen Cave.
