The '''infernal armour''' is a monster in the series.


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Like the [[restless armour]], it is a mass of [[Material family|moving metal]] that has taken up its sword against [[human]]s, but is much more dangerous than its wandering counterpart. Formerly depicted as staunch lone wolves, they have learned to summon allies in battle like their contemporaries as of {{VIII}}, while even calling down lightning with their swords by driving them into the ground. According to their monster info in ''X'' and ''XI'', those who don the cursed [[hate mail]] will have their minds and bodies taken over and forced to become servants of a Demon Lord, becoming infernal armours themselves.

The infernal armour's appearance has changed the most since its first appearance compared to the other suits, originally being silver suits of armour chased with gold and a blue plume on their helmets. For the Super Famicom version of ''III'', the armour was changed to black with purple plumes on their helmets. In the Sony PlayStation version of ''IV'', the plume was changed to light grey and it would maintain this colour scheme for its next few appearances. Starting with ''Dragon Quest X'' and most modern appearances, the infernal armour would go back to its original appearance, while the black and gold colour scheme would be used for the [[Schwarzchuld]].

Infernal armour began appearing in Version 2.0 of the game. They are still able to perform desperate attacks, call down lightning by thrusting their swords into the ground, and can block attacks with their shields, but in this game they are capable of summoning [[Medislime]]s in battle as backup.
