The '''sizeable scissors''' are a recurring weapon in the ''Dragon Quest'' series. In some entries, this unusual weapon consists of a giant pair of scissors which attaches to the wielder's arm via a device that allows them to open and close the blades in order to chop up foes. When the shears made a reappearance in the series, they gained a handle, allowing the wielder to swing around the scissors like a sword.
