The '''Knight errant''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in the original {{Dragon Quest}}. It is an suit of animated armor.

==Characteristics==
Given mobility by sheer malevolence, Knight errants are blue bruisers in the service of the [[Dragonlord]]. Despite their similarities to the [[Restless armour]], the sheer amount of hatred packed into their mail classifies them as members of the [[Demon family]] rather than {{Material}}.

Despite official illustrations showing the {{MFamilies}} wielding an axe and a shield, none of the errant's sprites reflect this. Instead, the knights arm up as they change color and gain new nomenclature.
