The '''dragon mail''' is a recurring suit of armour in the [[Dragon Quest series|''Dragon Quest'']] series which first appeared in [[Dragon Quest III]]. Much like the beasts of its namesake, it boasts a fantastic resistance to fire breath and is a powerful piece of equipment.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The dragon mail has a defence bonus of +45 and reduces damage from fire breath by 33.3%, but this '''will not''' stack with other elemental damage reduction. The [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Hero]] and [[Warrior]]s can equip it.
It can be purchased for 9,800 gold in [[Tantegel]], [[Damdara]], and [[Kol]] and sold for 7,350 gold.
