The '''dragon shield''' is a recurring shield in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'' series]], likely constituting of dragon skin, scales and bones, perhaps even bearing the likeness of a dragon. In keeping with this, it grants excellent resistance to fire breath. Starting with ''[[Dragon Quest X]]'', it became classified as a greatshield. | |||
==Characteristics== | |||
The design of the dragon shield has stayed practically consistent throughout the series history. It is a round green shield that has been fashioned out of various dragon scales and horns and features a distinctive design of a fierce dragon's head on its front. The border of the shield is surrounded by eight horns. The dragon's head has a pair of red gemstones as eyes, another pair of red gems on the forehead, and a pair of curved horns on each side. A coiled dragon's tail decorates the bottom of the shield. | |||
Since the shield's introduction in ''Dragon Quest IV'', it has appeared consistently in every game in the main series, as well as multiple spinoff games. | |||
