The '''Gringham whip''' is a recurring weapon in the {{DQSeries}}. It is usually one of the strongest, if not the strongest, whip in the game and often has the ability to attack all enemies instead of a single group.
The '''Gringham whip''' is a [[Whip (weapon type)|whip]] in the series.


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
The whip has had three distinctive designs throughout the series' history. In the Super Famicom versions of ''III'', ''V'', and ''VI'', the Gringham whip had a beautiful silver and gold handle with a filigree design, decorated with various red and blue gemstones, and featured three lashes with deadly blades at the ends. The second design, featured in ''VII'', as well as remake versions of ''IV'', ''V'', and ''VI'', consists of a blue and teal-colored handle with three lashes, each with a sharp arrowhead-shaped blade at the end, as well as another arrowhead-shaped blade on the end of the handle. Starting with ''VIII'', the Gringham whip now had a red and gold handle and three teal cords braided into a single lash with three arrowhead-shaped blades at the end, along with one of the same blades on the back of the handle. This was done in order to have all whips in the game have the same attack animations.

This design is used in remake versions of ''Dragon Quest IV'', ''Dragon Quest V'', and ''Dragon Quest VI'', as well as the HD-2D Remakes.
* The Gringham whip from ''Dragon Quest VIII'' has a red and gold handle and three teal cords braided into a single lash with three arrowhead-shaped blades at the end, along with one of the same blades on the back of the handle. This was done for all whips to share the same attack animations.
