The '''Devil's tail''' is an accessory in the series. In most of its appearances, it is a [[cursed]] item.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ2}}===
The Devil's tail is an accessory that can be equipped by all characters and is cursed, doubling the wearer's susceptibility to enemy spells, including [[Snooze]], [[Dazzle]], [[Fizzle]], and [[Thwack]]. One can be found in a treasure chest at the [[Hall of Hargon]]. It can be sold for 1,125 gold. The devil's tail has a {{fraction|1|32}} chance of being dropped by [[Hawk man]] and a {{fraction|1|16}} chance of being dropped by [[Grimlin]].

The Devil's tail has an {{Agility}} bonus of +10, but nullifies the wearer's elemental resistances and makes them more vulnerable to negative status effects. It can be equipped by [[Yangus]], [[Jessica]], and [[Angelo]], as well as [[Morrie]] and [[Red]] in the Nintendo 3DS version. One can be found in the treasure vault at [[Argonia]] Castle after the events at the [[Royal Hunting Grounds]], requiring the [[Magic key]] to open, one in a treasure chest at the [[Herb Grotto]] requiring the [[Thief's key]] to open, and another at the [[World of Darkness]]. It has a {{fraction|1|64}} chance of being dropped by [[Demon thunderer]] and [[Caped caperer]], as well as a {{fraction|1|256}} chance of being dropped by [[Tap devil]]. It can be purchased for 200 gold at the [[Dragovian Sanctuary]] and sold for 100 gold.

Its main use is as an ingredient in the [[Alchemy Pot]], typically to revert the effects of an item that has had its curse removed already.
