==Trivia==
*In the original Japanese, the dark robe shares a name {{translation|やみのころも|Yami no koromo}} with the recurring [[Shroud of Shadows]] element first seen in {{Dragon Quest III}}, although the piece of clothing is always written out in hiragana, whereas the protective barrier is typically written in kanji instead.

==Gallery==
The dark robe has a defence bonus of +87, and raises evasion by 25%. It can be worn by [[Yangus]] and sold for 10,500 [[Gold]] Coins.  It is obtainable through a few means, including:
