==Characteristics==
In its original appearance, the dread dagger was an upgraded version of the poison moth knife, being a dagger with a jagged barbs and a stylised guard around the handle modeled after a moth with pink and purple wings. The blade and guard were polished to a high sheen and there appeared to be runes inscribed into the blade, as well. However, starting with ''X'', the dagger's colours were changed to a darker indigo and purple instead with a red handle. This colouration has been used in all other games.
