Poison needle

A single jab with this in the right spot would likely finish the enemy off in one fell swoop. --Description in Dragon Quest VII

The poison needle (or poison knife) is a recurring weapon in the Dragon Quest series. It is a novelty weapon that has a 12% chance to instantly kill an enemy in a single strike, but otherwise can only inflict one point of damage. Both of these attributes make the needle an invaluable weapon against metal slimes.
