The sizeable scissors (also known as the giant shears or the shears) are a recurring weapon in the Dragon Quest series.
Characteristics[]
In some entries, this unusual weapon consists of a giant pair of scissors, which attaches to the wielder's arm via a device that allows them to open and close the blades in order to chop up foes. When the shears made a reappearance in the series starting with Dragon Quest X, they gained a handle, allowing the wielder to swing around the scissors like a sword.
