Liquid metal armour
The liquid metal armour is a recurring suit of armour in the Dragon Quest series. It is often one of the strongest armor items in its corresponding game and it protects the wearer against magical attacks. An emblem of a liquid metal slime is featured on the waist, and it is unique amongst the armour based upon metal slimes in that it features two distinct designs: the older has the spikes set on the pauldrons set much shorter and the filigree coloured blue, while the modern matches the others.
