The fire claw, also known as the fire claws or flame claw, is a recurring set of claws in the Dragon Quest franchise. It is a mid-level weapon designed for martial artists and barehanded brawlers. When used as a tool in battle, it singles the enemy with a wave of fire.

Appearances

Dragon Quest IV

The fire claw has an attack bonus of +60 and casts Sizzle on one enemy when used in battle. It can only be wielded by Alena and Psaro. It is found behind the stairs at Femiscyra.

Dragon Quest V

The fire claw has an attack bonus of +53 and only casts Sizz on a group of enemies when used in battle.
