The '''Iron armour''' is armor in the series. It is a mid-ranking set of heavy armour typically reserved for stronger characters due to its weight.

==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
The iron armour consists of a breastplate, pauldrons, and faulds made out of beaten iron plates. The armour is grey with gold edges and the pieces are attached with a series of brown leather belts. In character art, the iron armour often includes a pair of sabatons (boots) made out of iron, as well. It is the standard equipment of castle guards. Because of its weight, its usage is typically restricted to physically stronger characters. It has appeared in every main entry in the series except for ''[[Dragon Quest II]]''. In ''Dragon Quest IX'' and ''X'', a blue long-sleeved shirt is worn underneath the armour.

==Trivia==
Iron armour's original localized names, half plate and half plate armor, are derived from the armor of the same name from the tabletop game ''Dungeons & Dragons''. The half plate is described as having shaped metal plates which cover most of the wearer's body except for the legs, much like the iron armour in the ''Dragon Quest'' series.
