The '''Choker''' is a recurring accessory in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in the original ''[[Dragon Quest]]''. It is a [[cursed]] piece of equipment that tightens around the wearer's neck when worn.

==={{DQ11}}===
The choker can be found in the ruins of the [[Zwaardsrust Region]] behind the door that requires the [[Magic Key]] to be opened. It is hidden in a chest, and when acquired, it is stored in the Important Items section of the party's inventory, meaning that it cannot be equipped as an accessory. Upon trying to “Use” it, the {{Luminary}} picks it up, but “senses an oppressively ominous aura, and thinks better of it.” The familiar jingle of a character equipping a cursed item from the older games can be heard when this line appears.

A thug near the ruins is seeking Zwaardsrustian treasure, and initially offers the party 10,000 [[gold]] coins for the Choker (continuing the trend of cursed equipment selling for unusually high prices in the {{DQSeries}}). However, if the Luimnary takes him up on his offer, he will back down with the excuse that he doesn't carry that much [[gold]] while out treasure-hunting.

==={{DQWalk}}===
The choker can be received as a reward during the ''Dragon Quest I'' event. Unlike its original appearance, the choker has a defence bonus of +5 and increases the wearer's resistance to instant death effects by 5%.

==={{Captain N}}===
The Cursed necklace turns the wearer into a target for the legendary Golden Dragon.  It's placed on Simon Belmont by The [[Dragonlord]] as a means of getting rid of him and The N Team.

Simon was able to remove it through the use of some [[Holy water|Fairy water]], and tossed it onto The Dragonlord, who was forced to destroy the dragon as a result.
