The '''Dragon scale''', also known as '''Dragon's scale''', is an accessory in the series.

 

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.
