Dragon Quest monster Lethal armour

Art by Akira Toriyama Japanese キラーアーマー Romaji Kirā āmā First appearance Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation Old localization KillArmor

The Lethal armour is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first featured in Dragon Quest III.

Characteristics

The lethal armour is a variant of the more common Restless armour that, unlike it's peers, has mastered spell-casting well enough to menace players with Kasap and Kasnooze. Forged in the fires of Hell, it stalks the world of man to paint itself further scarlet with the blood of it's victims, and often relies on summoning Cureslimes in battle. In some games such as the Joker series, the suits of armour have traded in their swords and wield halberds instead.
