The '''poison needle''' is a recurring weapon in the {{DQSeries}}. It is a novelty weapon that has a chance to instantly kill an enemy in a single strike, but otherwise can only inflict one point of damage. Both of these attributes make the needle an invaluable weapon against [[Metal slime family|metal monsters]]. It's point resembles that of a [[Hell hornet]]'s stinger, but this may be a coincidence.

The needle has an attack power of +10 and a death chance of 6.25% (1/16th) in its debut appearance, making it less useful than in later titles. It can only be equipped by [[Mage]]s and Thieves, and is found in a chest behind the item store's counter in [[Khoryv]]. It can be purchased in [[Persistence]] for 10 gold, and is also dropped by [[Betterfly|Betterflies]] at a rate of 1/128 and by [[Hoodie|Hoodies]] at 1/64.
