The '''armful''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}} first introduced in {{DQ3}}. Having multiple extremities, it attacks several times per turn in each appearance.
 
==Characteristics==
Armfuls are [[Undead family|skeletal]] warriors that have gained two extra pairs of arms to attack with, wielding wicked sabers in each of their hands. They are more armoured than the typical skeleton, wearing a small breastplate over their sternum, a spiked helmet on their skulls, a pair of boots, and gloves on each of their hands. In their original colouration, they had grey armour, dark orange bones, and swords made of both red and grey metal, shifting to yellowing bones and grey-green armor starting with the Super Famicom version of ''III''. The hellish knights often have the ability to act twice per turn and can paralyze opponents by exhaling '''burning breath''' from their mandibles. The armfuls returned to the main series after 30 years like many classic monsters with their original Famicom coloration.
