The '''dark robe''' is a recurring cloak in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' franchise. Its a special cowl with a midnight blue dye, typically worn by [[thief|thieves]] and other agile characters to allow them to blend in with the shadows, increasing evasion.

 

Note that the item called by this name in [[Dragon Quest V]] is an entirely separate garment in Japanese, called the ダークローブ ''dāku rōbu'' ("Dark Robe"), which does not increase evasion, but instead reduces [[Frizz]], [[Sizz]], [[Woosh]], and [[Crack]] damage by 20 points.

The dark robe has a defence bonus of +74 and increases evasion to 25%. It only appears in the remakes and can be equipped by [[Martial Artist]]s, [[Gadabout]]s, and [[Thief|Thieves]]. One may be found in [[Cantlin]] and another in the fourth [[Treasures n' Trapdoors]] track in [[Kol]]. The dark robe can be sold for 12,375 gold, but it is not recommended to do so as there is a limited amount in the game.
