Orichalcum claws are a recurring weapon in the Dragon Quest series, introduced in Dragon Quest IX. As the name implies, they are a set of claws made out of orichalcum, the finest metal in the series, and are either the penultimate set of claws in each game they appear in or bar-none the most powerful.
