'''Crushed Ice''' is the name of two distinct abilities in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. In the main series and the ''Heroes'' spinoffs, it is an attack that launches 3-4 strikes on random targets that inflict ice damage.


In {{DQTact}}, it is an attack that deals a heavy amount of damage to a single enemy and can decrease their defence.

''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E3%81%8B%E3%81%A1%E3%82%8F%E3%82%8A Kachiwari]'' is the Japanese term for crushed ice, which are bite-sized chunks of ice that are used in drinks. Although it shares an English name with the staff and spear skill from the main games, the two skills are not related.
