The Boomerang is a weapon and the first boomerang in the series.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
A simple boomerang carved out of wood, with white cloth wrapped around one end as a grip. In some games, it has diamond or triangular patterns painted into the wood. Dragon Quest X introduced the Birchwood boomerang, which is effectively the same weapon and uses the same art.
- The boomerang from Dragon Quest XI is dark blue and appears to be made out of bronze, with leather wrapped around one end as a grip. In later games, this design is instead to referred to as the Bronze boomerang to differentiate from the wooden one.
