'''''Iron Armor''''' ('''''Half Plate''''', '''''Iron Armour''''') is an armor item seen in many games in the [[Dragon Quest series]]. Iron Armor is a strong piece of armor made from beaten out iron panels. Although you can't move about so fast, it really protects you from an enemy's blows. In the first Dragon Quest, it was named Half Plate.

The '''Iron armour''' is a recurring suit of armour in the {{DQSeries}}. It is a strong suit of armour made out of beaten iron plates.
 
==Characteristics==
The iron armour consists of a breastplate, pauldrons, and faulds made out of beaten iron plates. The armour is grey with gold edges and the pieces are attached with a series of brown leather belts. In character art, the iron armour often includes a pair of sabatons (boots) made out of iron, as well. It is the standard equipment of castle guards. Because of its weight, its usage is typically restricted to physically stronger characters. It has appeared in every main entry in the series except for ''[[Dragon Quest II]]''. In ''Dragon Quest IX'' and ''X'', a blue long-sleeved shirt is worn underneath the armour.

===[[Dragon Quest IV]]===
==Etymology==
The iron armour has a defence bonus of +30.
Iron armour's original localized names, half plate and half plate armor, are derived from the armor of the same name from the tabletop game ''Dungeons & Dragons''. The half plate is described as having shaped metal plates which cover most of the wearer's body except for the legs, much like the iron armour in the ''Dragon Quest'' series.


===[[Dragon Quest V]]===
==In Other Languages==
The iron armour has a defence bonus of +25.
