The iron claw is a recurring weapon in the Dragon Quest series, being one of the most commonly appearing set of talons.

It is a low-to-mid-grade weapon and is often one of the first weapons that martial artists can use exclusively, upgrading them from fighting barehanded or relying on simple clubs. In some games, a claw is held in each hand, allowing the user to attack twice in a row with them.
