The '''Dragon scale''', also known as '''Dragon's scale''', is an accessory in the series.
 
==Characteristics==
A protective amulet made from the scale of a dragon and described as being about the size of a palm. In most games, it is light green in colour and is adorned with a string of beads and dragon fangs. In both ''VIII'' and ''IX'', the scale is red instead. Starting with ''X'', the [[lucky dragon's wing]] was introduced as a separate accessory that used the red colour scheme instead. It typically gives a small boost to the wearer's defence or other attributes. In games with [[Alchemy]], it is used extensively as a crafting material, particularly for dragon-themed pieces of equipment.

Legend has it that the '''Dragon's Scale''' fell from a [[Dragon|dragon's]] body a long, long time ago. A light green fossil that fits in the palm of your hand, it has mysterious powers and slightly increases your defensive power. It can be found in all item shops in Dragon Quest. Due to text restrictions, it was named "D-Scale" in the Gameboy Color remake of Dragon Quest.
