The sage's robe is a recurring robe in the Dragon Quest series that first appeared in Dragon Quest V. It is a highly protective robe for spellcasters that protects the wearer against magical damage.

Characteristics[edit]

The sage's robe has seen three radically divergent designs in the series history. Its first depiction was that of a brown robe more akin to a Western fantasy design than anything from Akira Toriyama, which was replaced by a lavender gown with a golden chest piece, purple collar, and purple filigree along the sleeves and ending hem in the PlayStation 2 remake of V. The ninth game's design resembles the official robes of the Catholig pope, dyed blue with golden trim.

Appearances[edit]
