Paralysis Attack is a recurring ability in the Dragon Quest series.
It launches a melee attack that may paralyse the target. Monsters first gained the ability to inflict paralysis with their normal attacks in Dragon Quest III, eventually becoming its own skill in V. It is identical to the Paralysing Punch skill, which remains exclusive to the Monsters spinoff games.
