—Gringham Whip card from Dragon Quest: Scan Battlers

The Gringham whip is a recurring whip in the series.

Characteristics

The Gringham whip is often the most powerful whip in each game and frequently has one of the highest Attack bonuses of all weapons. It has had three distinctive designs throughout the series' history. In the Super Famicom versions of III, V, and VI, the gringham whip had a beautiful silver and gold handle with a filigree design, decorated with various red and blue gemstones, and featured three lashes with deadly blades at the ends. The second design, featured in VII, as well as remake versions of IV, V, and VI, consists of a blue and teal-coloured handle with three lashes, each with a sharp arrowhead-shaped blade at the end, as well as another arrowhead-shaped blade on the end of the handle. Starting with VIII, the gringham whip now had a red and gold handle and three teal cords braided into a single lash with three arrowhead-shaped blades at the end, along with one of the same blades on the back of the handle. This was done in order to have all whips in the game have the same attack animations.
