*The design from ''Dragon Quest VII'' features a segmented lash made of bramble thorns and a metal handle with a blue grip.

*The thorn whip introduced in ''Dragon Quest VIII'' has a metal arrowhead-like tip attached at the end of the lash similar to other redesigned whips in this game.

The Thorn whip has an {{Attack}} bonus of +18 and can be equipped by the {{Hero 3}}, [[Warrior|Warriors]], [[Merchant|Merchants]], [[Gadabout|Gadabouts]], and [[Sage|Sages]]. It can be purchased for 320 gold from [[Reeve]] and [[Persistence]] and sold for 240 gold. It has a {{fraction|1|64}} chance of being dropped by [[Overtoad]] and a {{fraction|1|128}} chance of being dropped by [[Shadow]]. In the original NES version, the thorn whip was simply a normal weapon that could only target a single enemy.

*In remake versions, the thorn whip has an {{Attack}} bonus of +19 and can be equipped by the Hero, [[Mage|Mages]], Gadabouts, [[Thief|Thieves]], and Sages. It has now gained the ability to target a single group of enemies from ''V'', but can no longer be equipped by Warriors or Merchants. The whip can no longer be purchased anywhere, instead being received as a prize for turning in 5 [[Mini medal|Mini medals]] to the collector in [[Aliahan]].
