"A single jab with this in the right spot would likely finish the enemy off in one fell swoop."

—Dragon Quest VII description

Poison needle
Japanese どくばり
Romaji Dokubari
Old localisations Poison knife
Found in Dragon Quest III onwards
Effect Chance for instant death

The poison needle is a recurring weapon in the Dragon Quest series. 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 monsters. It's point resembles that of a hell hornet's stinger, but this may be a coincidence.
