The '''Chain whip''' is a [[whip]] in the series.


The '''Chain whip''' is a recurring weapon in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' franchise. Like most whips, it is designed to attack a group of enemies.
==Characteristics==
The chain whip has gone through various designs throughout the years.
*The chain whip from ''Dragon Quest V'' has a simple design consisting of a metal chain, a handle, and a weight at the other end for striking enemies. This design appears in ''Dragon Quest VI'', as well as remake versions of ''III''.
*When the whip reappeared in ''VII'', the handle became more elaborate, gaining gold sections at the top and bottom, as well as a decorative golden cross at the end, true to the weapon's Japanese name. The weight at the end of the whip also became slightly larger.
*The chain whip's design from ''Dragon Quest VIII'' has a silver and gold handle with a loop at the end and features a sharp arrowhead tip at the end of the lash like other redesigned whips from this game. This design is also used in ''IX'' and ''Heroes''.
