Oaken club
The Oaken club is a weapon in the series.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
The oaken club is a primitive weapon that appears to have been carved roughly out of a tree trunk and has cloth wrapped around the handle for ease of use. In the instruction manuals for the Famicom versions of the original Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest II, the oaken club was depicted as having numerous nails sticking out of it. It is one of the earliest weapons found in each game, being stronger than a Cypress stick. They are the favored weapons of many monsters, such as Trolls and Cyclopes. In later games, the oaken club is classified as a hammer.
