The Hate mail is cursed armour in the series.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
A suit of ochre armour that has been crafted from the bones of a hellish demon. There are curved bone spikes on the pauldrons and it is worn with a horned skull as a helmet. It boasts a high amount of defence and occasionally protects the wearer from enemy spells, but also has a chance of randomly paralysing the wearer during battle. It is stated in monster descriptions for the Infernal armour in Dragon Quest X and Dragon Quest XI that anyone that dons the hate mail will be transformed into the monster. In the original Japanese, the armour and the monster share the same name.
