The '''morning star''' is a recurring flail in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' franchise. It is a mid-level weapon that consists of a spiked metal ball attached to a handle by a long chain. In most of the games it has appeared, the morning star is classified as a whip and inflicts damage to a single group of enemies.
