The '''zombiesbane''' is a powerful sword in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. True to name, it deals 50% more damage to creatures from the [[zombie family]] in most instances. In games that feature alchemy, it can often be upgraded into the more powerful [[zombie slayer]].

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The zombiesbane has an attack bonus of +67. It can be equipped by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Hero]], [[Warrior]]s, [[Priest]]s, [[Merchant]]s, and [[Sage]]s. It can be bought in [[Manoza]] for 9,800 gold coins and sold for 7,350 gold coins.

Contrary to later appearances, the sword does ''not'' actually deal bonus damage to the undead; instead, the extra damage is based on the target's vulnerability to the [[Poof]] spell. When the decision to attack has been made and base damage has been calculated, the game will then check the foe's resistance to the spell and run a simulation without the player knowing. If the spell were to hit had it been cast by the player, the enemy would take 16~32 more damage.
