The '''dragon robe''' is a recurring robe in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series that was introduced in {{DQ6}}. It is a truly incredible garment made from a dragon's [[dragon's scale|scales]] and bones. The robe usually protects the wearer against fire and ice attacks and is often among the strongest protection for those who cannot don heavy armour.


The '''dragon robe''' is a recurring garment in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'']] franchise. Made from a dragon's skin, it protects against fire and ice attacks and is often the strongest robe in the game for spellcasters.
==Characteristics==
The modern dragon robe is a flowing, verdant garment with puffy white sleeves. The skull of a dragon adorns the chest area along with a shoulder and neck guard. The original design seen only in the official guide book for the Super Famicom version of ''VI'' depicts something akin to an armored dress, with a breast guard made of green dragon scales with green dragon skulls for pauldrons, set over a high-collar yellow gown with a red cloth wrapped around the hip.
