'''Whips''' are recurring type of weapon in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' franchise. When they were first introduced in the series, they were no different from other weapons and only attacked a single enemy.
However, starting with ''[[Dragon Quest V]]'', whips gained the ability to target a group of enemies with each monster lashed taking less damage than the one before it. Whips tend to be favored by [[mage]]s and [[thief|thieves]] as a form of crowd control, and many female characters throughout the series are whip specialists. Only few monsters in the series use whips, such as [[Togre]]s.[[File:Ashlynn whip.png|right|border|200px]]
However, starting with ''[[Dragon Quest V]]'', whips gained the ability to target a group of enemies (with diminishing returns). Whips tend to be favored by [[mage]]s and [[thief|thieves]], as well as many female characters throughout the series. Only few monsters in the series use whips, such as [[Togre]]s.[[File:Ashlynn whip.png|right|border|200px]]


Beginning with ''Dragon Quest IX'', whips will deal an extra 10% damage to members of the [[Humanoid family]] of monsters.
A notable whip is the [[Gringham whip]], which can target all enemies.
