The '''poison moth knife''' is a recurring knife in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Of unusually elaborate design for a dagger, it can induce [[paralysis]] on strike in all appearances with a rate of 1/6th to 1/8th, depending on the title.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ4}}===
The poison moth knife has an [[Attack]] bonus of +24 and a {{fraction|1|8}} chance of paralyzing its target. It can be wielded by [[Borya]], [[Torneko Taloon]], [[Maya]] & [[Meena]]. [[Laurel]] has one among his equipment.

It can be purchased for 750 [[gold]] coins, and sold for 562. [[Tessie]] will sell it at [[Torneko's shop]] for 1,125.

==={{DQ5}}===
The poison moth knife has an attack bonus of +24 and paralyses at a rate of 1/8th. It can be purchased in [[Stockenbarrel]] for 900 gold.

==={{DQ6}}===
The poison moth knife may be equipped by [[Milly]], [[Ashlynn]], [[Nevan]], [[Goowain]], and the slime buddies. It has an attack bonus of +24, and a style bonus of +13. It is dropped by [[Giant moth]]s, appropriately enough, and the paralysis effect will trigger with normal attacks as well as [[Dragon Slash|dragon slash]], [[Double-Edged Slash|double-edged slash]], [[Flame Slash|flame slash]], [[frenzy]], [[Gust Slash|gust slash]], [[hatchet man]], [[Kacrackle Slash|kacrackle slash]], [[Lightning Slash|lightning slash]], [[Mercurial Thrust|mercurial thrust]], [[Metal Slash|metal slash]], [[Multifists|multifists]], [[Multislash|multislash]], & [[Undead Undoer|undead undoer]] 1/6th of the time before a monster's resistance applies.

==={{DQ7}}===
The poison moth knife has an attack bonus of +23, a style bonus of +13, and the paralysis rate and triggering skills remain the same as in ''VI''. It can be equipped by [[Maribel]] and [[Sir Mervyn]]. One is given to the party after the events at [[Faraday]] in the past and another can be found at the [[Roamers]] encampment. It cannot be purchased from any shop, but they can be sold for 475 gold. Poison moth knives can also be won as prizes from the Lucky Panel at the [[Casino]].

==={{DQ8}}===
The poison moth knife has an attack bonus of +29. It can only be equipped by [[Jessica]] or [[Red]] and will paralyse foes 1/8th of the time. This effect will not trigger on if her knife skills are used. It can be purchased in [[Pickham]] for 950 gold.

==={{DQ9}}===
The poison moth knife has expanded into a alchemical family of blades, each carrying a 1/8th chance to paralyze on normal attacks. Additionally, they will also deal a base +10% damage to [[Bug family|bugs]].
